The Agent in the Room: What AI Agents Actually Mean for Legal Teams

Legal teams are sitting on a goldmine of information - contracts, vendor files, policies, due diligence, negotiated agreements - rich, detailed content that's been carefully reviewed, argued over, and signed off. But most of it sits untouched after that point. It's not being connected, reused, or leveraged in any meaningful way.

AI agents change that. They don't just answer questions, they work across your document estate, surfacing insights, taking action, and turning information you already have into something useful. As such, the lawyer's role shifts from doing the manual work to reviewing output and applying judgement.

But moving from tool to agent raises questions most legal teams haven’t confronted yet. What happens when an agent ingests your most sensitive documents? Who’s accountable when it acts autonomously? And how do you build governance that keeps pace with a technology moving faster than your frameworks?

This webinar cuts through the noise on AI agents and focuses on what matters for senior in-house counsel. You'll leave with a clearer picture of how agents differ from the AI tools you may already be using, what real-world deployment looks like inside a legal function, and the governance and accountability questions you need to be asking. Whether you're actively evaluating agentic tools or still weighing whether the moment is right, this is the briefing that puts you ahead of the conversation.
