BTO Solicitors LLP and Emploi, a data-driven and fully integrated HR technology and services provider, have joined forces to deliver a three-part seminar series examining the opportunities and risks of using AI and technology in HR. The inaugural session will take place on Wednesday 22 April 2026, offering practical insights for forward-thinking leaders seeking to enhance efficiency, reduce costs and remain compliant in a rapidly evolving landscape.

This first session will explore how AI-enabled HR can act as a powerful productivity and utilisation lever – transforming the function from a traditional back-office necessity into a strategic driver of business growth.

The seminar will be led by Scott Baxter, Founder of Emploi, who will share real-world examples and practical strategies drawn from his experience in transforming HR through data and technology.

Mr Baxter commented: “As organisations face increasing pressure to do more with highly skilled, highly paid teams, this session will share practical examples of how HR technology and AI are already being used to improve utilisation, reduce low-value work and strengthen decision-making - freeing up employees to focus on innovation, growth and delivery.”

The seminar will conclude with an interactive Q&A featuring Dawn Robertson, an accredited employment law specialist and member of BTO Solicitors LLP’s STEM Group, who will provide expert legal insight.

Ms Robertson said: “Complementing Scott’s presentation, I will outline the key legal considerations organisations must address when adopting AI tools in HR, ensuring attendees leave with both strategic and regulatory clarity.”

This business-focused session will be particularly relevant for:

• Founders, CEOs and managing directors
• COOs and operations leaders
• HR and people directors
• Technology-driven and scaling businesses seeking operational leverage
• Any organisation looking to increase efficiency, save time and money, and avoid unnecessary legal risk will benefit from attending.

The second seminar on Wednesday 17 June 2026, hosted by Dawn Robertson, will examine the employment law, human and ethical considerations that AI cannot replace, as well as the legal risks organisations face when introducing AI and technology into HR.
