Back to the Future: How Your Legal Tech History Shapes Future Adoption. Before you can go anywhere, you need to know where you stand

28 Apr 2026
Track 1
AI adoption in legal is accelerating — but your legacy processes, data decisions, and governance gaps will either enable or derail it. This session cuts through the noise with a practical look at operational maturity, hidden data risks, and the frameworks that make scalable, future-ready technology actually work.

Areas that will be examine during the talk:
  • Operational maturity — evaluating where your legal function stands before adopting new technology
  • Data environments — identifying hidden risks in legacy and historical data practices
  • Governance frameworks — building scalable structures that support responsible, future-ready AI adoption

3 Key Learnings

  1. Foundations first — AI success depends on the operational and data maturity you already have in place.
  2. Know your risks — historical data practices and governance gaps directly impact your ability to adopt new technology safely.
  3. Build for scale — aligning people, processes, and technology today is what makes tomorrow's innovation possible.
