AI for In-House Counsel - Managing Risk, Compliance & Governance

Introduction

AI is rapidly becoming part of the everyday work of in-house legal teams, offering opportunities to improve efficiency, automate routine tasks and manage legal costs more effectively. From contract review and legal research to compliance monitoring and drafting, AI can deliver significant benefits, but its use also creates new legal, regulatory and governance risks. For in-house counsel, the challenge is not simply understanding what AI can do, but ensuring it is adopted and used in a way that protects the organisation, its data and its clients.

This practical and interactive new virtual classroom seminar is designed for in-house counsel who need to manage the legal and compliance implications of AI within their organisation. It will provide practical guidance on identifying and managing risk, developing effective AI use policies, addressing data protection and confidentiality concerns and establishing appropriate governance and oversight.

With a focus on current issues facing in-house legal teams, the session will also consider emerging AI regulation and the challenges of managing compliance across multiple jurisdictions. While the focus is on UK law, the content will be relevant to organisations and legal teams operating internationally.
