The mandate has changed: why AI adoption alone won't define tomorrow's leading law firms.
Tuesday, 10 November | 13:00 - 14:00 (GMT)
Overview:
As AI becomes embedded across the legal sector, many firms are focused on adoption: selecting tools, running pilots and defining use cases.
Yet a different challenge is emerging: the tools are being purchased; the skills are being presumed.
The firms that pull ahead may not be those investing in the most technology, but those building the capabilities needed to use it well.
Join senior leaders from QA, Walker Morris and DLA Piper for an executive panel discussion exploring how leading firms are building AI capability across legal, business services and technology teams. The session will explore how client expectations are evolving, what future-ready capability looks like in practice, and what separates AI adoption from competitive advantage.
Attendees will hear practical perspectives on how leading firms are building advantage through AI, balancing innovation with governance and trust, and developing the skills and capabilities needed to remain competitive in a rapidly changing market.
