How Legal Can Prepare for an Economic Downturn
July 12, 2022
Event Details

Just last week, we hosted a panel covering a topic everyone's been wondering about - the (maybe?) impending recession.

We were joined by legal pros Jared S. Mermelstein (Deputy GC  ‪@EvergreenPartners‬ ), Matt Lubniewski (Associate GC ‪@ZyngaNetwork‬), and Eric Fisher (Deputy GC ‪@goPuff‬) who talked us through all legal should know to prepare for rough waters ahead. Here's the full replay.

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.

You'll learn:

• How top legal teams are using AI to streamline legal work
• A live “show and tell” of real AI workflows in legal
• Actionable strategies to scale AI adoption in your legal department
