Roundtables – Beyond AI Back to the foundations of legal service

The commoditization of AI is transforming the legal profession at unprecedented speed. From internal stakeholders demanding faster turnaround times to the rise of a "do-it-yourself" mentality where the business bypasses legal for a generic chatbot. The pressure is on. Given the sector-wide rush to act, fundamental questions arise: does the business still value legal counsel, or just speed? 

Access to tools like Co-Pilot, Chat-GPT, or Gemini is not the issue; knowing how and where to start is. While the market is flooded with options, the trust gap remains. AI lacks the finesse of an experienced lawyer, yet the expectation to deliver "more for less" is louder than ever. 

Join the beyond AI roundtable: Back to the foundations of legal service 

We invite you to an exclusive, interactive roundtable. This is not a lecture, but a dedicated session to examine the topic in depth and brainstorm with peers. Rather than adding to the noise of tool comparisons, we offer a "back to basics" approach. We will not act as lecturers but as facilitators. We share experiences to fuel a debate where your insights matter as much as ours. 

We will move beyond the hype to explore: 

• Value definition: redefining the role of legal and aligning your value proposition with actual business needs.

• People and process first: why you must rebuild the foundation of service delivery before applying technology.

• From strategy to execution: practical guidance on defining use cases and navigating the decision to buy or build.
  

• Open peer exchange: share your current pain points and hear actionable solutions from others facing similar transformation challenges.

• Practical frameworks: walk away with concrete ideas on how to leverage technology as an enabler, not a driver.

• Focused and efficient: a concise, working session designed for maximum takeaway.
