Peregrine Falcon Roundtable to Convene Martin Bartlam And Dinis Guarda on "AI Law & Business: Challenges and Opportunities"
24 Jul 2026
The Peregrine Falcon Roundtable will bring together internationally recognised legal and technology leaders Martin Bartlam and Dinis Guarda for an exclusive live discussion exploring how artificial intelligence is transforming law, business, fintech, and digital assets. Scheduled for 27 July 2026, the LIVE exclusive event will examine the regulatory, commercial, and strategic opportunities emerging from the rapid adoption of AI across industries.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the legal profession, corporate governance, financial services, and digital business models. As organisations navigate increasingly complex regulatory frameworks while embracing AI-driven innovation, understanding both the risks and opportunities has become a strategic priority for executives, lawyers, policymakers, investors, and technology leaders.
Against this backdrop, the Peregrine Falcon Roundtable will host an exclusive live event titled "AI Law & Business: Challenges and Opportunities", bringing together two internationally recognised experts whose work spans legal innovation, digital transformation, fintech, blockchain, and emerging technologies.
The discussion will take place on 27 July 2026 at 1:00 PM (London Time) via an exclusive Zoom invitation.
Examining AI's impact on law and business
The roundtable will explore how artificial intelligence is changing the legal landscape while simultaneously creating new commercial opportunities across multiple sectors.
Discussion topics will include:
- AI governance and regulatory developments
- Legal technology innovation
- Digital assets and blockchain
- FinTech transformation
- AI adoption in business
- Emerging legal and ethical challenges
- Strategic opportunities for organisations embracing AI
As governments worldwide continue introducing AI regulation while businesses accelerate enterprise AI adoption, legal professionals are increasingly expected to bridge technological innovation with regulatory compliance.
Martin Bartlam: Legal innovation and digital assets
Martin Bartlam brings decades of experience advising organisations operating at the intersection of law, technology, financial services, and digital assets.
He is the Founder and CEO of Coded Law and serves as Head of Business Affairs & General Legal Counsel at Xfinite Global Plc. Martin is recognised in the Legal 500 Fintech Hall of Fame and previously served as Global Fintech Co-Chair at DLA Piper, where he advised clients on fintech, blockchain, digital assets, and emerging financial technologies.
His work has focused on helping businesses navigate rapidly evolving legal environments while supporting innovation across fintech ecosystems.
“Law is an AI powered layer that is embedded directly into commercial and legal workflows. You've got to change your operating systems or your IT model in order to deal with it. Organisations that understand how legal frameworks can enable responsible innovation—not simply restrict it—will be best positioned to build trust, unlock new business models, and compete in the digital economy. The convergence of AI, digital assets, and financial technology requires closer collaboration between lawyers, business leaders, policymakers, and technologists. Events like this create an important forum for sharing practical insights as these industries continue to evolve.” - Martin Bartlam
Dinis Guarda: Connecting technology, business and society
Joining Martin is Dinis Guarda, internationally recognised author, entrepreneur, academic, and thought leader focused on the artificial intelligence, blockchain, fintech, and digital transformation, powering the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Through his work across Businessabc, Citiesabc, Wisdomia, and global media platforms, Guarda has interviewed hundreds of leading innovators, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, and technology pioneers, creating one of the world's largest repositories of conversations on emerging technologies and digital transformation.
His work examines how AI is reshaping industries, governance, education, finance, cities, and society while emphasising responsible innovation and human-centred technological development.
Speaking ahead of the event, Dinis Guarda said:
"Artificial intelligence is no longer simply a technology discussion—it has become a business, governance, legal, and societal imperative. Every organisation now needs to understand not only what AI can do, but also how to implement it responsibly within evolving regulatory frameworks.
The future belongs to leaders who combine technological innovation with ethics, transparency, and trust. Conversations that bring together legal experts, business executives, entrepreneurs, and policymakers are essential for building an AI ecosystem that delivers long-term value for society."
AI governance becomes a strategic business priority
The discussion comes as organisations worldwide continue investing heavily in AI while governments introduce new governance frameworks designed to balance innovation with accountability.
Businesses are increasingly seeking practical guidance on issues including AI governance, intellectual property, data protection, compliance, liability, algorithmic transparency, and responsible deployment.
The convergence of legal expertise and technological leadership has therefore become essential for organisations seeking to innovate while maintaining regulatory confidence and public trust.
Bringing together legal and technology leadership
The Peregrine Falcon Roundtable aims to provide an executive-level forum where legal experts, business leaders, technology innovators, entrepreneurs, investors, and policymakers can exchange perspectives on one of the defining issues of the digital economy.
By combining Martin Bartlam's extensive experience in fintech law and digital assets with Dinis Guarda's work in AI, digital transformation, and emerging technologies, the event seeks to offer participants practical insights into navigating the evolving intersection of artificial intelligence, regulation, and business strategy.
The live session will be held on 27 July 2026 at 1:00 PM London Time and will be accessible by exclusive Zoom invitation.
