The Human Side of AI: Making Change Stick in Legal

​Many in-house legal teams have moved beyond AI pilots, but sustained adoption across the organisation remains elusive. This roundtable shifts the conversation away from tools and towards the people, cultural dynamics, and organisational realities that determine whether AI actually changes how legal teams work or quietly gets shelved.

Drawing on real-world experience, participants will explore what drives genuine behavioural change, how to build and maintain momentum beyond the initial rollout, and how legal leaders are bringing their organisations with them, not just implementing technology, but reshaping how people think about the work itself.

Key Takeaways:

​

• ​A candid view of the people and culture barriers that most commonly derail AI adoption and how peers are navigating them

• ​Practical change management approaches that go beyond comms plans, drawn from the lived experience of legal leaders in the room

• ​Frameworks for aligning AI initiatives with broader business priorities and cross-functional stakeholders, without losing momentum
