Whether you’re a GC without legal ops, a solo in-house attorney juggling it all, or part of a small team trying to scale, this session is built for lean legal departments that need to make meaningful progress—fast. With limited time, budget, and backup, knowing what to prioritize (and what to ignore) can be the difference between spinning wheels and driving impact.
Join us on Monday, April 28, 2025, at 12pm ET / 9am PT as a Chief Legal Officer from two AI-native companies and a legal ops strategist who’s built the function from the ground up four times share a real-world framework for streamlining legal operations without losing momentum. You’ll get clarity on what matters most right now—and how to make legal feel bigger than it is through smart systems, repeatable wins, and effective cross-functional partnerships.
Discussion Topics Include:
- What to fix right now—and what can wait—when building legal ops from scratch
- A 5-day Legal Ops Overhaul Plan to help you stabilize and scale fast
- Safe and strategic ways to leverage AI in lean legal environments
- How to reduce busywork, streamline requests, and increase legal’s visibility
- Cross-functional collaboration techniques that reduce friction and build credibility

Webiner
AI is no longer experimental for legal teams; it is quietly reshaping how high‑performing departments deliver advice, manage risk, and prove value to the business. This session is a candid, practitioner‑level look inside the legal teams at Google, Reddit, and Zapier, focused on what they are actually doing with AI today.
Each speaker will run a structured show‑and‑tell of their AI workflows: how they scoped the use case, what the stack looks like (models, agents, automations), how they stress‑tested it, and what success looked like. You will see both the upside and the constraints.
Why attend
If you are a legal leader who has seen enough surface‑level panels, this session is built for you.
Expect to:
See concrete examples of AI in production, including
▪ How an in house team built and governs an internal legal chatbot or agent.
Hear how these teams
▪ Decide which matters must stay bespoke and which can safely be standardized.
▪ Design “lawyer‑in‑the‑loop” review models that withstand scrutiny.
We’ll close with an unscripted Q&A where nothing is off the table: failures, reversals, vendor regrets, internal pushback, and what these leaders are betting against - as well as on - over the next 12 months.
