Engage with thought leaders and practitioners shaping the future of legal AI

01
Kick-off

State of the Tech

What's actually possible with legal AI today, and what's still on the horizon? This presentation provides a grounded overview of the current state of generative AI technology for legal applications. We'll explore how foundation models are evolving, what breakthroughs matter most for legal work, and where the technology still falls short. Attendees will leave with a clear-eyed understanding of AI's capabilities and limitations—essential context for every conversation that follows.

02
Panel Discussion

Applied AI in Legal Practice

How are leading law departments actually using generative AI today? This panel brings together trailblazing legal ops and innovation leaders to share concrete case studies of generative AI at work. Attendees will come away with a grounded understanding of generative AI's real ROI in legal settings, armed with lessons learned and best practices to apply in their own teams.

03
Panel Discussion

The Client Perspective

What do in-house leaders actually want from AI-enabled law firms? Hear directly from in-house leaders about their expectations for outside counsel. Are they demanding AI-driven efficiencies? Do they trust AI-assisted work product? How are they evaluating law firms' AI capabilities in pitches and panels? This session surfaces the client voice and helps law firms understand where the market is heading.

04
Panel Discussion

Impact of AI on the Legal Industry

This forward-looking panel examines how generative AI is reshaping the talent pipeline and operating models in law. Topics include the recruitment and training of young lawyers—if AI handles more entry-level work, how will junior attorneys gain the foundational experience they need? We'll also discuss how law firms and in-house departments are adjusting their structures: early signs suggest corporate legal teams are pulling more work in-house, relying less on outside counsel, and expecting alternative fee arrangements as AI boosts efficiency.
