AI, Explained: How Top Legal Operations Leaders are Scaling Legal with AI

Legal ops leaders who are building with AI right now are doing and sharing their hot takes. On March 11, a few of them are sharing that knowledge directly.

Facilitated by Tommie Tavares-Ferreira — former head of legal ops and Chief Strategy Officer at Lawtrades — this is a leader’s roundtable for the people who are past 'should we use AI?' and working through what it actually takes to operationalize it: governance, rollout, team alignment, and measurable impact. The perspectives are firsthand, the conversation is open, and you'll leave with something you can actually use.

Whether you're mid-rollout or preparing to move from first use case to full program, you'll leave with a firsthand perspective you can put to work immediately.
