Back to Basics: Building on Rock, Not Sand - Laying the Foundations for AI in Law Firms
Every law firm is talking about AI, but few are talking about what sits beneath it. This roundtable shifts the conversation to the foundational layers that determine whether AI adoption succeeds or stalls: data quality, information architecture, security, and governance. With an eye on the changing shape of law firms as we move toward 2030, participants will explore what it really takes to build an AI-ready environment, practically and strategically.
Key Takeaways:
A clearer picture of the foundational building blocks (data, security, governance, legacy systems) required before AI can be meaningfully adopted and scaled
Practical approaches to Centre of Excellence models, capability enablement, and the role of information architecture that supports sustainable transformation
Insight into how leading firms and their clients are navigating the hybrid, modern workplace while preparing for the next wave of legal operations change
