What is legal innovation?


In this engaging session, leaders from Deloitte, Clausebase, Aclara Legal Design, Signify, and Contractify share their diverse perspectives on the evolving legal landscape. From solo lawyers competing with global firms through technology to the rise of machine-readable laws and the impact of GenAI, this discussion goes beyond the buzzwords to examine the real-world impact of legal innovation.

Key topics include:
• Real-world innovation examples: How technology is leveling the playing field for smaller firms and transforming how laws are drafted.
• Overcoming adoption barriers: Navigating security concerns, "shadow AI," and the need for secure "sandboxes" for experimentation.
• The future of legal value: Why the traditional hourly billing model is under pressure and how AI is shifting the focus toward strategic, high-value advice.
• The human-tech hybrid: Why the next generation of lawyers must bridge the gap between legal expertise and technical fluency.

Whether you're a legal professional, a tech enthusiast, or a business leader, this session offers a candid look at the challenges and opportunities of the digital legal revolution. Discover how to move from being a traditional lawyer to a creative, tech-enabled strategic advisor.
