A one-day workshop for in-house legal teams and law firm innovators exploring how the legal function transforms alongside the enterprise. We’ll bring lessons from Tax, Finance, IT and beyond, leading voices from the technology ecosystem and a curated selection of vendor demos.
In addition to the legal leaders, this is your opportunity to apply lessons, capabilities, and perspectives from enterprise leaders to reimagine and build your legal function for 2030.

The Day at a Glance:
  • Legal 2030: If we started over, what parts of today’s legal operating model should not exist by 2030? Provoking the Bull, Bear, Base cases
  • Legal’s Great Convergence: Law firms, ALSPs, multidisciplinary providers and technology companies are converging. What does that mean for how Legal buys and consumes services?
  • The AI-Powered Legal Tech Stack: From infrastructure to agents, how should the legal stack connect into the enterprise stack, and how should Legal evaluate the choices?
  • Financing your Legal AI Journey: How do you make the case to the CFO, navigate consumption-based pricing and convert productivity into hard-dollar value?
  • Trust Layer: How do privilege, accountability, shadow AI and agentic governance evolve as legal work increasingly extends beyond Legal?
  • The Future Workforce: What do the emerging roles tell us about where Legal is headed, and how do we redesign teams around human + digital capacity?
