Working For Yourself: Legal Professionals Going Out on Their Own
October 1, 2021
Event Details

The last 18 months have changed the way that we do business, and more people are appreciating the value of remote working. We've seen an exodus of talent leave their fixed positions and go out on their own.

Meet Jordan! He runs his own virtual practice on Lawtrades as Transactional, Product, and Corporate Counsel to several notable high-growth companies.

Whether you are a legal professional wanting to go out on your own, or you want to scale your already existing business, join us! He'll show you how to build your legal brand & pave your way to success as a freelance legal professional.

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
