2026 Agenda

Legal firms face mounting pressure to improve efficiency, reduce costs and deliver faster client outcomes — all while maintaining quality, compliance and trust. Yet most AI initiatives remain isolated experiments rather than structural change. This session explores how Frontier Firms combine robots (automation), AI agents and people to redesign legal operations. Learn how innovative legal organisations are moving beyond pilots and building an AI-first operating model that drives measurable productivity, resilience and competitive advantage.

3 Key Learnings

1. AI Is an Operating Model — Not a Tool.  Attendees will understand why isolated AI pilots fail and how Frontier Firms redesign workflows by combining robots (automation), AI agents and people into a unified operating model. 
2. Where AI and Automation Deliver Immediate Legal ROI. Participants will find out how they can identify high-impact legal use cases where structured automation and AI agents can reduce turnaround time, improve matter management, streamline compliance processes and free lawyers to focus on advisory and client value work.
3. A Practical Pathway to Becoming a Frontier Firm. Attendees will learn how to get started — how to uncover opportunities, prioritise practical use cases and take them from concept to production.
