The Evolution of the AI-Native Legal Department: An Operational Imperative
Event Description
In-house legal departments are experiencing growing operational friction: more channels, more tools, more intake, and more distributed knowledge—yet the work is no less complex. When institutional expertise lives in individual inboxes, scattered precedents, and disconnected systems, legal teams pay a steep “context tax” and spend too much time reinventing the wheel. The result is predictable: slower cycle times, inconsistent risk decisions, and a persistent perception of Legal as a bottleneck rather than a business enabler.
Join us on Thursday, March 26 at 3:00pm ET / 12 PM PT as Jennifer Poon, Chief Legal Architect at Sandstone, Noga Rosenthal, General Counsel and Chief Privacy Officer at Ampersand and Katelyn Canning, General Counsel at Ocrolus, explore what it means to build an AI-native legal department—not as a set of isolated tools, but as a restructured operating model with AI as a first principle. This CLE-eligible session will break down the difference between AI-augmented workflows and AI-native operating systems, and walk through the pillars that enable compounding efficiency: dynamic knowledge capture, integrated intake and visibility, and the right division of labor between human judgment and automated execution.
Key Takeaways
- How to diagnose operational friction in Legal (and quantify the “context tax” your team is paying)
- The difference between AI-augmented tasks and an AI-native operating model—and why it matters for scale
- How to move from static playbooks to operational intelligence that applies standards consistently during intake, drafting, and negotiation
- What “integrated ecosystems” look like in practice (meeting the business where it works while maintaining a single source of truth)
- A practical framework for human–AI synergy: what to automate, what to oversee, and where human judgment stays essential
- The evolving role of in-house counsel as a Legal Systems Architect—skills and mindsets to lead the shift responsibly
Who Should Attend
This program is designed for General Counsel, Deputy/Assistant GCs, legal operations leaders, and in-house attorneys who want to reduce friction in legal service delivery, improve consistency and transparency across workflows, and build a scalable operating model that keeps pace with business demand—without sacrificing judgment, governance, or risk discipline.
