Futuristic building against a blue sky

General Counsels in fintech: Beyond the AI hype

Event date/time: Thu, 19 November 2026 8:30 am - 10:30 am GMT

As AI becomes more embedded in legal and compliance functions, GCs face a challenge that goes beyond choosing the right technology: how do you ensure its use is ethical and legally sound, while building trust and managing expectations across the business?

This discussion will explore the governance and trust issues surrounding AI tools, with a particular focus on the barriers that can hinder adoption within legal teams. It will also consider how GCs can approach internal training, establish appropriate expectations around what AI can deliver, and help their teams use new tools responsibly and effectively.

For fintech GCs, the session offers an opportunity to discuss the practical realities of introducing AI into legal and compliance environments, balancing innovation with appropriate oversight.

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.
