Briefing AI Leaders 2026

Briefing AI Leaders is back! On 11 June 2026 we’ll be convening law firm leaders, change agents, and innovators from the legal industry to explore one of the most disruptive challenges to impact law firms in a generation.

Firms are in a race to gain the competitive advantages of early adoption, but in a fast-changing landscape there are many question marks over what successful AI use and implementation look like and the requirements – and impact on – different functions, teams, clients and the wider legal landscape.  We’ll explore strategic approaches to AI, how law firms are evolving to develop workflows and teams to meet a new tech frontier, and lessons learned so far from this transformative technology.

KEY THEMES:

• The shift from experimentation to operational reality – building workflows and processes to maximise the human/digital blend
• Measuring ROI, profitability and economic impact – monetising productivity gains and repricing outcomes-based legal work
• A re-shaped legal market: the impact of GenAI on competition, consolidation and client sourcing
• The evolving client picture: building a digital-first, value-driven collaboration
• The human in the loop: change management, culture and the psychology of adoption challenges
• Risk and resilience: marrying regulation, governance and data security challenges with adapting to new business and pricing models at pace
• Foundational gaps: addressing data quality and information architecture
• Meeting the cost of building the AI-enabled firm of the tomorrow
• Re-engineering and streamlining the tech stack of the future
• The future of legal talent: redefining roles, skills, training and career paths in the AI-enabled firm

Leaders in top tier law firms will meet to learn from their peers about the direction of travel of AI within their firm. This event is aimed at director or C-level and ‘heads of’ or equivalent seniority.
