The Need for Speed Webinar With LegalOn
The week after will be another great webinar with LegalOn in partnership with Artificial Lawyer: ‘AI in Legal – Meeting the Need for Speed’, where we will explore how AI is accelerating legal work and changing perceptions.
It’s on March 5, at 9 AM PT, 12 Noon ET, and 5 PM GMT, and free to attend. Please RSVP here.
Speakers include: LegalOn CEO Daniel Lewis, Lynden Renwick, Managing Partner of Out-House Attorneys, LegalOn’s Head of Legal, Bärí A. Williams, and the discussion will be chaired by Richard Tromans of Artificial Lawyer.
The webinar, which was inspired by the recent Artificial Lawyer article, ‘What if Lawyers were Rewarded for Speed?’ will cover:
- The Need for Speed: Why speed matters in legal work, how lawyers traditionally met that need, and the case for a new paradigm.
- The AI Shift in Legal: AI is helping lawyers save time, be more efficient, and turnaround work faster. Is this shift at odds with law firms’ business model?
- In-House Advantage: Legal teams are embracing AI in contracting, compliance, due diligence, and more. Will this accelerate the shift of work in-house?
- Opportunities for Law Firms: The traditional view is that tech-driven efficiency is bad for firm profitability. What’s the business case for AI-speed and do firms need a new business model to embrace it?
- Lessons for the Future: From AI adoption trends to evolving client expectations, what legal professionals need to know to navigate this rapidly changing landscape.
