Legal Leaders Roundtable: You’re already using AI. You just don’t control it.
About the event
A private dinner for senior legal leaders who want clarity, control, and confidence in the age of AI.
Most firms believe they’re behind on AI. In reality, they’re already exposed.
From Copilot and ChatGPT to informal and unsanctioned tools, AI is already being used across law firms by partners, fee earners, finance functions, and IT. It is accessing client data, matter information, and internal knowledge, often without clear visibility, governance, or control. In a regulated environment, this is not innovation. It is unmanaged risk.
This closed-door Legal AI Roundtable in Leeds brings senior legal and finance leaders together for an honest discussion about what is really happening inside law firms today, and how to regain control without slowing fee earners down.
Serious conversation. No sales. No slide decks.
Just candid peer insight, challenged and sharpened by experts who see these risks play out across firms every day.
