From Questions to Insight: Conversational AI in the Investigator’s Workflow
2026-03-11 12:00 - 13:00 (Europe/London) | Online
Natural language AI tools are transforming how investigators interact with data—shifting teams from complex query building to conversational exploration, surfacing narratives faster, and accelerating early case understanding. In corporate investigations, this evolution promises meaningful efficiency gains, while also introducing new considerations around accuracy, defensibility, and responsible use.
This free webinar will explore how conversational AI is being applied in investigative workflows today, where it delivers real value, and where caution is warranted.
Drawing on practical experience and emerging innovations—including Relativity’s aiR Assist, an in-platform natural language Q&A solution now in Advanced Access—we’ll discuss how investigators can better understand actors, relationships, and events within their data, uncover insight earlier, and move case strategy forward with confidence. Throughout, we’ll examine how to balance speed with rigor to maintain control, defensibility, and trust.

UK Regulatory Financial Investigations – Investigators, are you prepared?
2026-05-12 12:00 - 13:00 (Europe/London) | Online
April 2026 has brought significant changes to how the FCA initiates, conducts, and communicates investigations. Consumer Duty is now an active enforcement trigger.

This free webinar session cuts through the complexity. You will leave with a better picture of what has changed, how it affects your organisation’s investigatory posture, and a practical checklist to benchmark your readiness against current FCA expectations.

Understand exactly how FCA investigations are being triggered in 2026 including the Consumer Duty dimension many organisations are underestimating
Get up to speed on the April 2026 Enforcement Guide changes and what greater transparency means for your organisation in practice
