AI Readiness in Legal: Where to Start, What to Measure, and How to Scale
Event Description
AI in legal is no longer a question of if—it’s a question of how to start in a way that’s practical, measurable, and sustainable. With new tools emerging weekly and expectations rising across the business, in-house legal teams need a clear approach to evaluating where AI fits, what “success” actually looks like, and how to scale adoption without creating risk, noise, or operational drag.
Join us on Wednesday, February 25, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. ET / 9:00 a.m. PT as Akshay Verma, COO, SpotDraft moderates a conversation with Lisa Salinas, General Counsel, Schneider and Avita Delerme, General Counsel, The Channel Company on what AI readiness really means for in-house teams. Together, they’ll share what’s working in the real world—how they’re prioritizing use cases, aligning stakeholders, setting metrics that matter, and building roadmaps that support adoption without breaking what already works.
Key Takeaways
- A clear framework to assess your legal team’s AI readiness
- How to identify high-impact, low-risk AI use cases across legal workflows
- What to measure to prove value beyond time saved (quality, risk, throughput, consistency)
- A practical roadmap to pilot, adopt, and scale AI without disrupting operations
- Common pitfalls legal teams face when introducing AI—and how to avoid them
- How to align Legal, IT, Security, and business stakeholders for smoother adoption
Who Should Attend
This session is designed for in-house legal professionals—including GCs, deputies, legal ops leaders, and functional legal leaders—who are evaluating or actively implementing AI in legal workflows and want a grounded approach to prioritization, governance, measurement, and scaling across the department (in partnership with IT and the broader business).
