According to Microsoft 2026 Work Trend Index, 66% of AI users say AI gives them more time for higher-value work. Yet only 26% say their leadership is clearly and consistently aligned around AI.

This is the gap businesses now need to address.

On 8 October, I’ll be joining Yagmur Sahin, Joanna Moczadlo and Ravinder Singh Johal for 𝐀𝐈 𝐚𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤: 𝐔𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐭, 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐆𝐏𝐓 & 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐲, 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲, a live webinar presented by Ballantines LLP in collaboration with HumanLoop AI.

We’ll explore how organisations can move beyond simply adopting AI towards using it responsibly at scale, from governance and data protection to accountability, human oversight and the growing role of AI agents.

The key question is: how do we capture the productivity and innovation opportunities of AI while building the governance needed to use it responsibly?

🔒 Protect Your Asset: The Hidden Risks of Commercial Lease “Holding Over”

When a commercial lease expires but the tenant continues operating without a formally renewed agreement, both landlords and business tenants may be exposed to serious legal and financial risks.

⚠️ Loss of control or possession rights

⚠️ Unexpected termination or eviction

⚠️ Costly rent disputes

⚠️ Unclear repair, insurance and maintenance obligations

⚠️ Potential statutory renewal rights arising unintentionally

Informal arrangements may feel convenient, but uncertainty can quickly develop into an expensive dispute.

Whether you are a commercial landlord seeking to protect your property or a business tenant safeguarding your premises and operational continuity, obtaining specialist legal advice early is essential.

⚖️ Get expert clarity. Secure your future.

Ballantines LLP can review your current lease position, advise on your legal rights and prepare robust documentation to protect your interests.
