The AI-Enabled Law Department

Session Two:  Build or Buy AI? Technology & Talent Choices in 2026

This program is the second installment in a three-part webinar series exploring how artificial intelligence is transforming the structure, strategy, and talent model of the modern legal department. Future sessions will be announced throughout 2026.

As corporate law departments accelerate AI adoption, legal job requirements are increasingly shaped by a fundamental strategic choice: whether to build AI solutions in-house, buy third-party technology, or pursue a hybrid approach. That same choice now also applies to legal talent in a “train or hire” paradigm, as organizations align workforce decisions with their AI strategies and business goals.

Join senior legal leaders and TruLegal Founder & CEO Jared Coseglia for a candid discussion on how artificial intelligence is influencing “build versus buy” and “hire versus train” decisions in law department operations—and the professionals building careers within them.

Join us to learn:

• How build, buy, and hybrid AI strategies create distinct legal skill requirements across functions such as product counsel, privacy, compliance, litigation, and legal operations.
• Which vocational, technical, educational, and alternative training paths have proven most effective in upskilling legal professionals for AI-enabled roles, including internal programs that support that transition.
• How AI strategy decisions are influencing compensation, competition, speed of hiring, ALSP secondee utilization, talent availability, and the relationship between in-house and outside counsel.
