What if your legal team could dramatically increase its capacity without adding headcount?

AI agents are moving beyond simple assistance to take ownership of defined responsibilities, execute complex tasks, and operate 24/7 alongside lawyers. This shift opens the door to a new model of legal work, where lawyers and agents collaborate to move matters forward, respond to business needs, and turn legal knowledge into action.

This session explores the emerging model of human-agent collaboration and what it means for the modern in-house legal team. Through practical examples spanning intake, contract review, legal research, and obligation management, we will examine how agents can handle repetitive, time-consuming work and coordinate multiple steps across systems.

From gathering context and preparing a first draft to routing approvals and following up on outstanding actions, agents can help close the gap between identifying what needs to happen and getting it done.

Making this model work requires thoughtful decisions about how responsibilities are shared. What should agents own? Where should lawyers remain directly involved? When should an agent act independently, request approval, or escalate an exception?

We will explore how to give agents the context, knowledge, and permissions they need, while establishing clear boundaries, accountability, and human oversight.

Attendees will leave with a practical perspective on moving from assigning isolated tasks to delegating ongoing responsibilities. The result is a legal team with greater capacity, faster execution, and more time for higher-value decisions, strategic priorities, and the work that truly requires human expertise.
