General counsel are being asked to manage more complex matters, control rising legal spend, reduce enterprise risk, and respond faster to the business, often without additional budget or headcount. AI promises to help, but isolated tools that summarize documents or automate individual tasks rarely change the underlying economics or performance of the legal function.

The greater opportunity is to embed AI within structured, governed workflows that help legal teams move matters forward faster, reduce administrative and outside counsel spend, surface risk earlier, and focus internal resources on decisions that require legal judgment.

This session will give general counsel and legal leaders a practical framework for identifying where AI can deliver measurable business impact across litigation and legal operations. Using examples from matter intake, legal holds, collections, subpoena response, review preparation, reporting, and outside counsel coordination, attendees will explore how AI-enabled workflows can:

• Reduce the cost and cycle time of high-impact legal matters
• Increase team capacity without adding headcount
• Improve consistency, control, and visibility across matters and outside counsel
• Reduce unnecessary administrative work and external legal spend
• Preserve human oversight, accountability, auditability, and defensibility

The discussion will also address where AI should not be used, which decisions should remain under human control, and how legal leaders can establish appropriate governance, approval points, and performance standards without slowing innovation.

Attendees will leave with a framework for evaluating AI opportunities, practical considerations for responsible governance, and an approach for connecting AI initiatives to the outcomes that matter most to the general counsel: cost control, risk reduction, faster resolution, greater capacity, and confidence in legal department performance.
