November 5: Implementing AI in the Legal Department: Use Cases, Guardrails, and Adoption for In-House Counsel

Title: Implementing AI in the Legal Department: Use Cases, Guardrails, and Adoption for In-House Counsel

For many legal departments, AI didn’t arrive gradually. It arrived all at once, through a company-wide mandate, a new enterprise license, or a business that started using AI tools before legal had a policy in place. The hard part now is turning that moment into a working program, with the right use cases, guardrails, and adoption plan to make AI part of how legal actually gets work done.

Join us on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at 12:00 PM ET / 9:00 AM PT as Aidan Sullivan, Attorney and Legal Product Specialist at Chamelio, and Leana Lares Smith, Legal Ops Leader at H1, walk through how in-house teams move from no AI to everyday use. They’ll cover where to start, what to automate first, and how to keep quality and accountability intact along the way.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Assess where your legal team stands today and set realistic goals for AI adoption.
• Prioritize first use cases, such as intake, contract review, and drafting, that deliver early, visible wins.
• Build guardrails for confidentiality, privilege, accuracy, and human review before scaling up.
• Drive adoption across the team and manage resistance without slowing down the work.
• Measure impact and decide what to expand, adjust, or retire as AI use matures.

Who Should Attend: This program is designed for general counsel, in-house counsel, legal operations professionals, and legal team leaders who are starting, restarting, or scaling AI inside the legal department. It will be especially useful for those responsible for legal tech evaluation, AI governance, internal policies, contract workflows, or team training and adoption.
