Legal Innovators UK, the landmark legal tech conference in London, is fast approaching. Here’s a peek into what we’ll be exploring on Inhouse Day – 5th November.
The overarching theme this year is: where have we got to with genAI and where are we heading next in terms of how inhouse teams are deploying the technology?
Since November 2022 the field of legal tech has changed enormously and many businesses have brought in multiple new AI products, or products from companies that have updated their offering to wield genAI skills as well.
But, what impact has this had?
How has it changed how inhouse lawyers work?
What benefits have they gained?
What challenges have these teams faced?
This will naturally mean hearing from experts in the field, those at inhouse teams at the cutting edge of implementation, as well as those developing these tools. It’s about an open appraisal of the realities of AI-driven change. We should not expect absolute transformation – not yet – but at the same time there genuinely are the first signs of a significant evolution in the way lawyers work, and all because of genAI.
Of course, this change process is really only just beginning, and there is a long, positive road ahead, especially for those focused on legal innovation.
So, here are some of the key sessions to look out for:
From Talk to Transformation: AI and In-House Empowerment: For years, the legal industry predicted that in-house teams would use AI to reclaim control, reducing reliance on outside counsel, managing costs more effectively, and focusing on higher-value strategic work…and now here we are….!
Explore whether GenAI has finally liberated in-house lawyers, empowering teams to operate with greater autonomy, efficiency, and strategic influence.
Legal Operations, Triage and Legal AI: Redefining Roles, Resources, and Results: In-house legal departments are under more pressure than ever to do more with less, leading teams to carefully triage work between senior lawyers, junior staff, contract managers and legal services.
Examine how Generative AI is reshaping how legal work is distributed and what this disruption means for operational strategy, team structure, hiring, and budget allocation.
Contracts, Contracts, Contracts…Unlocking Efficiency with GenAI and Smarter Tools: Inhouse legal teams continue to be overwhelmed by the volume and complexity of contracts. Consider how automation, self-service, and GenAI can help break this pattern by streamlining workflows and adapting to diverse business needs.
And much more, including our new startup pitch competition.
Naturally, we will have plenty more to tell you over the next two months, with news about speakers, more sponsors, and details about the two other great days of the conference: Law Firm Day – 4th November, and Litigation Day – 6th November.
We’re excited already!
