Modernizing Legal Knowledge Management: AI Strategies for In-House Efficiency
Event Description
Knowledge management is one of the most stubborn friction points in corporate legal—contracts and playbooks live in too many places, institutional knowledge walks out the door, and teams reinvent work that already exists. This session looks at how legal departments are using AI to build a more reliable, centralized “source of truth,” so attorneys can move faster with greater consistency, reduce avoidable risk, and make smarter decisions about when (and when not) to involve outside counsel.
Join us on Wednesday, January 21 at 12:00 PM ET / 9:00 AM PT as John Lee (General Counsel & Head of Strategy, Ruli), Donna Scaffidi (Head of Legal Innovation, Ruli), Molly Fin (Former VP, Deputy General Counsel & Assistant Secretary, Yahoo), and Michelle Lee (Former GC, Pinterest; Current GC-in-Residence, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati) explore practical AI strategies for modern legal knowledge management—what “good” looks like, where teams get stuck, and how to drive adoption so the system actually gets used. CLE credit will be available.
Key Takeaways
- How to define and operationalize a “single source of truth” for legal (and what to include vs. exclude)
- AI-enabled workflows that improve consistency in contracting, advice, and playbook-driven decision-making
- Practical ways to reduce outside counsel spend by reusing institutional knowledge and standard guidance
- Governance essentials: ownership, version control, permissions, and guardrails to keep content accurate and current
- Change management tactics that drive adoption across busy legal teams (not just a new tool, but a new habit)
Who Should Attend
This CLE is designed for in-house legal professionals responsible for contracting, legal operations, and day-to-day advisory work—including GCs, deputy/associate GCs, commercial counsel, legal ops leaders, and team leads who want to reduce repeat work, improve consistency across attorneys and regions, and build a scalable knowledge foundation that supports faster, higher-quality legal service to the business.
There is NO COST to attend this program!
