Leadership in the AI Era: 50 Shades of Grey
Most legal leaders built their careers on deep subject-matter expertise, but the skills that got them to the top aren't the ones that will keep them relevant. This session confronts the uncomfortable gap between how legal leadership is defined today and what it actually takes to lead through AI-driven transformation, from technical fluency and process thinking to emotional intelligence and a willingness to let go of hierarchy.
Key Takeaways:
A clear framework for mapping the gap between traditional legal leadership strengths and the competencies required to lead in an AI-enabled environment
Practical self-assessment tools (including a leadership quadrant exercise) to honestly evaluate where you or your leaders sit today and what needs to shift
Candid, real-world perspectives from general counsels actively navigating this transition inside major organisations
This session is part of LegalTechTalk 2026, Europe’s Event for Legal Transformation. A dynamic, annual in-person festival bringing together 5,500+ attendees from 75+ countries and over 400 industry-leading speakers across two days, on 17-18 June 2026 at InterContinental London - The O2.
