GenAI adoption is accelerating across APAC. In a recent global survey of 600 in-house leaders, 76 percent of APAC legal departments said they will increase AI investment in 2025. Yet capability is not keeping pace. Confidence and fluency lag across many teams, with Hong Kong among the lowest in maturity and Australia mid-range.
Access alone is not enough. The differentiator is what comes next: legal teams making real, productive use of AI.
In this recorded session, we lift the lid on Sensemaker Academy, Factor’s practical, hands-on skilling programme built to move legal professionals from curiosity to confidence, and from experimentation to impact. You will see how the Academy closes the gap between access and fluency through live workshops, an interactive sandbox, and AI coaching that gives real-time, personalised feedback.
What you will see
• Five-workshop structure that builds a legal AI mindset, then progresses through prompting, reasoning models for senior work, responsible use, and applied exercises. Sessions are 90 minutes and designed so every minute counts.
• Guided tour of the sandbox and AI coaches used in the programme. Documents are pre-loaded to role, with no need to upload sensitive data. Participants get immediate, individualised feedback.
• The RACER prompting framework: Role, Action, Context, Expectation, Restriction. Includes a live coaching demo that scores and improves your prompts.
• A simple supervision method for AI-assisted work that checks for accuracy, completeness and evidence before anything leaves your desk.
• Measurement and follow-through including pre- and post-skills assessments and ongoing masterclasses to keep teams current.
Key takeaways
Chris DeConti, Global Head of Strategy, Factor, noted: “APAC seems to be investing more heavily in GenAI than other regions, but we continue to see this confidence gap between access and fluency.”
Professor Dan Hunter, Executive Dean, The Dickson Pool School of Law, Kings College London, said that responsible use requires a mindset shift and clear methods for verification. “You still have to have an understanding about responsible AI use… a very different kind of mindset to the way we have been lawyering.”
Peter Duffy, CEO, TITANS, described the content-dense programme: “We use an AI sandbox and coaches so every minute is impactful, with a seamless setup and immediate feedback.”
