On July 11, 2025, the second session of the “Future Legal Professionals” Evolution Camp hosted by the Shanghai Bar Association was successfully held. Lawyer Yao Huiyun, Partner of Shanghai Zhenghan Law Firm, and Lawyer An Da were invited to deliver a thematic sharing entitled “How Litigation Lawyers Use AI to Analyze Cases Efficiently”, sharing practical experience of AI in case analysis for 40 guests on site.
This sharing focused on the practical application of AI in litigation practice. Lawyer An Da first analyzed the underlying logic of AI-generated content, pointing out that its essence is to provide high-probability results based on databases. Although it can offer generally correct answers in most fields, it cannot replace lawyers in making high-difficulty professional judgments. He then introduced two core methods of AI interaction: “email-style communication” and “WeChat-style communication”. The former realizes structured information retrieval through long Markdown prompts, improving instruction accuracy with syntax such as heading levels and list indentation; the latter adopts a progressive dialogue of “putting forward requirements – supplementing information – confirming conclusions”, which is suitable for preliminary legal issue analysis. On site, taking practical issues such as disputes over equity repurchase periods and the validity of state-owned asset transaction contracts as examples, he demonstrated how to use AI to assist in sorting out facts, summarizing disputed issues and drafting legal documents.
Lawyer Yao Huiyun, Partner, emphasized the necessity for lawyers to review AI-generated content, reminding practitioners to be alert to the risks of false citations and invalid legal bases. She also pointed out that special attention should be paid to the security risks of AI use, advising lawyers to conduct desensitization processing before uploading files, such as replacing names and adding mosaics to protect client information. Meanwhile, she shared the applicable scenarios of different AI tools—some excel in processing mixed text and image documents, while others have unique advantages in specific database retrieval, providing clear guidance for lawyers to select appropriate tools. In addition, combining Zhenghan Law Firm’s practical experience in complex dispute resolution, she elaborated on how to use AI tools to assist in optimizing court materials and visualization documents, enabling technology to better serve the entire case analysis process.
As a demonstration of Zhenghan Law Firm’s practical achievements in the field of legal technology, this sharing was widely recognized by the participants for its practice-oriented content design. Zhenghan Law Firm has long explored the application of AI in complex dispute resolution. By building an AI tool matrix and continuously testing and iterating emerging AI tools, the firm promotes the in-depth integration of AI technology and legal services, aiming to provide clients with more efficient and accurate dispute resolution solutions, and at the same time offer a referable practical path for the application of artificial intelligence technology in the legal profession.
