As legal departments embrace CLM platforms, they must help design systems that align with regulatory obligations, protect sensitive data, and scale with the business. This session will explore how legal leaders can guide cross-functional efforts to digitize contracting while ensuring that innovation doesn’t outpace risk controls.
Through an interactive panel, we will:
- Break down how digital CLM tools—like automated workflows, electronic signatures, and AI-based risk scoring—are changing legal’s role in the contract lifecycle
- Discuss the evolving standards for contract data security, role-based access, and auditability in a cloud-based environment
- Share best practices for risk management across contract stages, including clause flagging, compliance monitoring, and dispute resolution support
- Explore how legal, procurement, finance, and commercial teams can collaboratively negotiate and enforce contracts through centralized platforms
- Analyze how legal teams can prepare for the future of contracting: from smart contracts and machine-readable clauses to analytics-driven performance reviews

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.
