The In-House Counsel’s AI Ethics Playbook: Practical Scenarios for Litigation, Vendors, and Contracts
Event Description
AI is now embedded in everyday legal work—through tools your team adopts, systems the business brings in, and workflows used by outside counsel and vendors. That reality creates a new kind of ethics challenge for in-house counsel: how to move quickly while still meeting duties around competence, communication, confidentiality, and supervision—especially when AI outputs can be opaque, inconsistent, or trained on data you didn’t intend to share. This interactive Ethics CLE is built to help in-house teams spot issues early, ask the right questions, and implement guardrails that hold up in real corporate environments.
Join us on Wednesday, April 15, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. ET / 9:00 a.m. PT as Jon Furlow (Litigation and Ethics Consultant, Axiom) leads a hands-on session featuring practical scenarios across litigation, vendor tools, and contracting. Through guided exercises and discussion, attendees will learn how to identify, analyze, and solve common AI-related risks—especially in the day-to-day realities of working with outside counsel and business partners.
Key Takeaways:
- A practical grounding in how AI systems differ—and what that means for legal risk
- How ethics duties apply in AI-enabled practice, including competence, communication, confidentiality, and supervision
- Vendor and platform risk: how to evaluate terms of use, data handling, and information security before adoption
- Litigation scenarios: discovery pitfalls, accuracy risks, and avoiding AI-assisted misstatements to courts or counterparties
- Contracting and document drafting: where AI helps, where it creates new exposure, and how to supervise responsibly
- A repeatable checklist for internal guardrails, workflows, and escalation paths that the business can follow
Who Should Attend:
This Ethics CLE is designed for in-house legal professionals who are evaluating, using, or overseeing AI tools in corporate workflows and need practical guidance on ethics, confidentiality, supervision, and risk management. It will be especially valuable for commercial counsel, litigators, compliance and privacy counsel, and legal operations leaders who manage outside counsel, support contracting at scale, advise on vendor selection, or are responsible for setting AI usage policies inside the legal department.
There is NO COST to attend this program!
