Cutting Through the AI Noise: A Practical Roundtable for In-House Legal Leaders

AI is everywhere. Every week seems to bring a new legal technology platform, productivity tool, contracts assistant, or generative AI solution claiming to transform the way legal departments work. But with so many options available, how do legal leaders separate genuine value from marketing hype? Join fellow in-house counsel for an interactive roundtable discussion focused on the realities of AI adoption in corporate legal departments. Together, we'll explore where Al is delivering measurable results, where it falls short, and how legal teams are making informed decisions without chasing every new technology trend.

Topics include:

• Identifying the legal workflows most suited for AI.
• Understanding when Al adds meaningful value, and when it doesn’t.
• Avoiding technology for technology's sake.
• Balancing innovation with risk, governance, and legal judgment.
• Lessons learned from early adopters and real-world use cases.
• Building a roadmap for AI within your legal function.

This session will be a candid, peer-driven discussion rather than a product pitch. Attendees will have the opportunity to share experiences, compare approaches, and gain actionable insights from colleagues navigating the same challenges. Whether your legal team is just beginning its AI journey or evaluating a growing list of tools and providers, you'll leave with a clearer framework for cutting through the noise and making smarter technology decisions. The event will be followed by a networking reception.
