AI Maturity Across the Legal Ecosystem: Honest Assessment for Smarter Investment

AI maturity looks different depending on which side of the legal ecosystem you sit on, yet the pressures driving it are increasingly shared. This session brings together in-house counsel and law firm leaders for an honest, practical conversation about where maturity really stands, what genuine progress looks like, and why it remains so uneven across organisations. Rather than a framework exercise, this is a real-world discussion about the dimensions that matter on both sides, from governance and skills adoption to strategic alignment, and how priorities shift as AI moves from pilot to embedded practice.

The session will also explore an emerging dynamic: in-house teams and their external counsel are beginning to evolve together, with early signs of collaboration around shared workflows, work product, and AI-generated insights reshaping what the client-firm relationship can look like.
