Session Overview

Turning Legal into Leverage: The AI Shift from Cost to Competitive Advantage, “Tomorrow’s most valuable lawyers don’t just interpret the law — they amplify its value.”
Turning Legal into Leverage: The AI Shift from Cost to Competitive Advantage
For decades, legal teams have been viewed as reactive, compliance-driven cost centres. But as artificial intelligence reshapes industries, the legal profession is experiencing its own revolution, one that’s transforming how lawyers deliver value, think strategically, and contribute to the bottom line.
In this session, Lynton Naicker, Co-Founder and CEO of Anvaya, South Africa’s pioneering AI-powered legal platform, unpacks how forward-thinking firms and in-house counsel are using AI to turn legal from a cost burden into a business advantage. Attendees will gain practical insights into how generative AI and automation are reshaping the way lawyers research, draft, review and advise, cutting hours of manual work into minutes, without compromising on accuracy or compliance.
Drawing from real-world implementations across South Africa’s legal ecosystem, Lynton will demonstrate how AI isn’t here to replace lawyers, it’s here to elevate them. From accelerating deal cycles to improving client experience and enabling data-driven decision-making, this session will show how embracing AI can enhance profitability, increase capacity and redefine the role of legal within modern business.
If you’ve ever wondered how to make your legal team not just efficient, but indispensable — this session will show you how to turn legal into leverage.
Three Tangible Learnings
  1. How AI is transforming legal teams from reactive support functions into proactive strategic partners, driving measurable business value, efficiency, and profitability.
  2. Practical ways to integrate generative AI into day-to-day legal workflows, from research and drafting to review and compliance, to reduce turnaround times and enhance accuracy.
  3. How forward-thinking firms and in-house counsel are using data, automation, and innovation to reimagine the role of legal in the enterprise, positioning it as a true competitive advantage rather than a cost centre.
