Agentic Systems and Orchestration Layers - Legal Agents are Growing Up
2025 was the year of the agents, but agents in legal were still in their infancy. In 2026, we are seeing more complex multi-agent systems and orchestration layers. There is new vocabulary to unpack, new technical understanding to gain, and these systems throw up new risk areas requiring the reworking of vendor questionnaires and security reviews.

Interoperability has become a critical theme for legal tech as generative AI solutions evolve. With standards like MCP evolving and integrations becoming increasingly important as new AI platform evolve, interoperability will be more critical than ever.

AI Literacy and Regulatory Updates
The EU AI Act has imposed an obligation of AI literacy which many legal teams will need to uphold. What does this mean and what does it look like in practice to fulfill this obligation? What other regulatory updates around AI will be important for lawyers and legal teams this year? We will will distill the key requirements arising from the Act and other regulatory frameworks, provide insights on how law firms are responding, and guidance on how legal teams globally should be responding and setting themselves up avoid new liabilities.

From Skills Training to Capability Enablement: Rethinking Legal Learning in the AI Era:
Traditional models of legal education and skills training are increasingly misaligned with how lawyers actually work. In 2026, learning is moving closer to the point of execution: embedded within tools, workflows, and AI-enabled platforms. In-app guidance, contextual learning, and performance-linked enablement are reshaping how legal skills are developed and maintained. This session will explore how legal learning models are evolving, what this shift means for professional development, knowledge teams, and vendors, and how firms can rethink “training” as a continuous capability rather than a periodic obligation.

Client AI Maturity and the New Law Firm–Client Dynamic
Clients are no longer uniformly behind their outside counsel on AI adoption. In many cases, corporate legal departments are piloting, deploying, and operationalizing AI faster than the firms that serve them. This shift is changing expectations around service delivery, transparency, collaboration, and value. Drawing on client case studies and law firm–client initiatives, this discussion will examine how differing levels of AI maturity are reshaping relationships, where friction is emerging, and how forward-looking firms are adapting their approach to stay relevant, trusted, and competitive.

Signals of Structural Change: Business Model Disruption in Law
While much of the legal market remains focused on incremental efficiency gains, deeper structural change is underway. AI-native and AI-first law firms, private equity involvement, consolidation, and evolving client buying behaviors are all early signals of more fundamental business model disruption. This session will explore where meaningful disruption is likely to come from, what it means for top-tier and established firms, and how leadership teams should be thinking about strategic positioning, investment, and organizational design in response to these forces—before change is imposed rather than chosen.
