Alternative In-House Tech Summit

As AI reshapes enterprise platforms and build-your-own tools become more capable, legal teams are reconsidering whether to build contracts workflows internally or continue buying dedicated contract lifecycle management (CLM) solutions.

The boundaries between enterprise technology, automation, and specialist platforms are shifting, and so is the role of CLM.

The session will open with two contrasting perspectives on the build-versus-buy decision. Leading CLM providers will then offer a right of reply and join a wider discussion on how technology is evolving.

Expect a fast-paced debate that cuts through features and functions to ask: what does effective contracts management look like now, and how should legal teams future-proof their approach in the world of AI?
