AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS
AI integration in legal practice
Mathew Kerbis, Founding Attorney, Subscription Attorney LLC
This session introduces attorneys to the practical applications of AI in daily legal tasks, showcasing tools and strategies for integrating AI effectively
Ethics, bias, and risk management in AI
Max Elliott, Managing Attorney/Founder, The Law Offices of Max Elliott
This session explores ethical considerations, privacy risks, and bias in AI, emphasizing responsible usage and compliance with legal standards.
The future of legal technology and cultural transformation
Brian Potts, Partner, Husch Blackwell
This session tackles how AI and technology are reshaping traditional legal practices, addressing cultural shifts, and improving firm efficiency.
AI, legal advocacy, and the power of words
Mark C. Palmer, Chief Counsel, Illinois Supreme Court Commission on Professionalism
Lawyers rely on words to persuade. We will explore how lawyers can pair technology and the human touch to enhance advocacy and shape powerful arguments. This talk will inspire us to rethink our approach to persuasion – from courtrooms and boardrooms – in the age of AI
The future of AI in legal — an investor’s perspective
Tamara Steffens, Managing Director TR Ventures, Thomson Reuters
As a CVC leader and early investor in legal tech startups, Tamara offers a front-row view into how AI is being adopted across legal operations. In this session, she’ll share key lessons from backing companies at the forefront of innovation, the real-world challenges of embedding AI into legal workflows, and the trends shaping what comes next. Her insights will focus on where early adopters are gaining traction—and where friction still remains.
AI driven transformation in contract review
Monica Goyal, VP of Legal Innovation, Briefly Legal
I went deep into an AI contract review word plug-ins blackhole, reviewing over 15+ contract review solutions and came back with this key takeaway: contract review is now its own species of legal tech and I can never an agreement without it. In this talk, I will share the good, the bad, and the ugly of contract review solutions, or what I can fit in 8 minutes!
More sessions coming soon!
