AI and automation in legal ops: Lessons from in-house legal leaders

AI is everywhere in legal tech – but many legal teams are discovering that simply adding AI features or automation tools doesn’t automatically deliver value. Without the right foundations in place, these initiatives often fall short, leading to poor adoption and growing skepticism.

In this session, we’ll explore what it really means to be AI and automation-ready in legal operations. We’ll cover the core operational capabilities, mindset shifts, and practical questions legal ops teams should consider before investing in new technology, so you can drive meaningful ROI, not just experimentation.

You’ll also hear from Mike Vitko, legal operations leader at Somatus, who will share real-world insights on improving legal workflows and driving successful operational change.

In this session, we’ll cover:

• Why AI and automation initiatives often fail and what’s usually missing
• The foundations legal ops teams need before adopting new technology
• Key questions to ask vendors (and internally) when evaluating solutions
• How data, workflows, and adoption readiness impact success
• How to set realistic expectations and deliver long-term value
• This webinar is designed for in-house legal operations leaders who want to approach AI and automation with clarity and confidence

We can’t wait to see you there!
