OVERVIEW
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the legal landscape but the path forward remains unclear for many plaintiff firms. While some firms are actively deploying AI to improve efficiency, enhance case evaluation, streamline workflows, and support litigation strategy, others remain cautious due to concerns around accuracy, ethics, client confidentiality, professional responsibility obligations, and evolving regulatory expectations.
This timely discussion brings together leaders from top U.S. plaintiff firms and technology partners to examine the current state of AI adoption. Our expert panelists will share real-world experiences and lessons learned, and they’ll discuss where AI is delivering value today, where challenges remain, and how firms can make informed and responsible decisions about AI adoption.
Whether your firm is exploring AI for the first time, actively evaluating potential use cases, or already using AI and looking to refine its approach, this program will provide practical guidance for attorneys on assessing opportunities, managing risks, measuring return on investment, and aligning AI strategies with evolving legal, ethical, professional, and operational requirements.
