Legal leaders in fintech: The AI adoption challenge
As AI becomes more embedded in legal and compliance functions, legal leaders face a challenge that goes beyond choosing the right technology. How do you select the right solutions, encourage meaningful adoption and ensure their use is ethical and legally sound, while managing expectations across the wider business?
This discussion will explore the practical realities of introducing AI into legal teams, from buying established platforms such as Harvey and Legora to building tailored solutions, and the considerations that shape that decision. We’ll also look at one of the biggest challenges surrounding legal AI: turning investment into genuine adoption and securing buy-in across legal and compliance teams.
Alongside adoption, we’ll consider the governance and ethical questions surrounding AI, how legal leaders can establish realistic expectations about what the technology can deliver, and what it takes to realise value from AI investment.
For fintech legal leaders, the session is an opportunity to share experiences and discuss:
- The governance and ethical challenges of implementing AI within legal teams
- Buy vs build: how legal teams are deciding between platforms such as Harvey and Legora and bespoke AI solution
- Managing expectations around what legal AI can and cannot realistically deliver
- How legal teams are realising value from their AI investments
Hosted by Taylor Root legal recruitment experts Asha Morzaria, Chloe Cook and Teleisha Coulson, our session will provide real-world insights and practical takeaways you can apply immediately to strengthen your leadership impact.
