When & How GCs Should Make Their First Hire
February 25, 2022
Event Details

It can be really difficult to know when a GC should make their first legal hire. Not only that, but who should they hire…and how should they hire them?

Our expert panel from Ted Conferences, Fivetran, and eSSENTIAL Accessibility guided us through their experiences and shared their best tips for navigating the murky waters of making their first legal hires.

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
