AI for in-house legal teams: what works, what doesn’t, and what’s next
Join us for an insightful webinar exploring how in-house legal teams can maximise the value of AI at every stage of their journey. We’ll discuss quick wins that can be achieved with existing tools and minimal investment, share lessons from successful and unsuccessful AI initiatives, and explore the opportunities and challenges of building bespoke solutions such as Copilot agents and AI-powered document review.
We’ll also examine how larger teams are using AI-driven contract lifecycle management and redlining tools, before looking ahead to the future of legal AI, including adoption, governance, evolving vendor landscapes and the role AI will play in supporting the growing demands of modern legal teams.
Our discussion will cover:
- Where should legal teams start with AI, and which use cases deliver the biggest impact with the least investment of time and resource?
- What does it take to build and roll out AI tools within a legal team, and what common challenges should organisations be prepared for?
- How can AI help legal teams review contracts more efficiently, strengthen contract lifecycle management and unlock valuable insights from contract data at scale?
- What’s next for AI in legal, and how can teams approach adoption, governance and a rapidly evolving technology landscape with confidence?
