Claws Out!

​What if your next best legal teammate had claws?

​Join Omololu Bajulaiye and Chris Williams from Sidebar, together with Douwe Groenevelt and Bart Cleijsen of Datacation, for a lively, hands-on LegalTechTalk side event exploring the future of legal work: OpenClaw, digital twins, and the rise of the agentic lawyer.

​This will not be another panel about “AI productivity.” We’ll be getting practical, playful and slightly crustacean. Expect live demos of an OpenClaw instance running an experimental agentic law firm, a look at how digital twins of your professional self can support real legal workflows, and a discussion on what it means to move from working serially to thinking — and delegating — in parallel.

​We’ll touch on long-horizon agents, agentic orchestration, AI-native legal teams, and the uncomfortable but exciting question: what should lawyers actually do when the machine can finally keep up?

​All served with the unmistakable Sidebar touch: sharp minds, real talk, and the kind of conversations that don't happen on main stages.
