Vikki Bentwood

AI, Leadership and the Business of Law

A Practical Voice on AI and Law Firm Growth

I work with law firm leaders on the business questions AI raises — not the technical ones. What does this mean for growth? For clients? For how we position ourselves? And what should we actually do?

With more than 25 years advising law firms on growth, business development and strategy and a background that includes building and selling a web development agency in the early internet era, I bring a perspective that is grounded in both commercial reality and long experience of how technology actually changes things.

My sessions are practical, candid and deliberately free of hype. I speak credibly to lawyers and senior marketing leaders alike, and I understand the gap between what firms want to achieve and what is realistic.

What I Speak About

AI for Law Firm Growth 

How AI can improve preparation, insight and follow-through across leadership teams and practice groups, without diluting credibility or professional standards.

Talking to Clients About AI

What senior lawyers and managing partners need to understand about client expectations, value, confidentiality and competitive positioning in an AI-enabled market.

Getting AI to Sound Like You

How senior professionals can use AI to support visibility and thought leadership while protecting authority, voice and authenticity.

From Experimentation to Structure

A practical session for marketing and BD teams on introducing disciplined, proportionate AI capability aligned with firm priorities.

How I deliver

I deliver keynote speeches, conference sessions and structured workshops. Sessions are tailored to the audience but always grounded in practical application and current advisory work. Audiences can expect clear thinking, commercial focus and a session that respects the experience and intelligence in the room.
