Session Overview

AI in Practice: Transforming Legal Work for Firms and In-House Teams
AI is moving beyond the hype and becoming part of everyday legal work. For law firms, it enables smarter workflows, more efficient case management, and new ways of delivering services. For in-house teams, it brings greater value, stronger collaboration, and practical tools to manage risk and complexity.
In this panel session, panelists will share how they are putting AI to work in practice. Following their insights, a moderated discussion will open the conversation to audience questions, offering attendees the chance to engage directly with the speakers and explore real-world applications.
