Practical implications of Generative AI for law firms and in-house legal departments
Since the introduction of Chat GPT, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Generative AI, there has been a surge of interest within law firms and in-house departments. Partners who previously showed little interest in technology are now approaching IT and innovation departments to learn more about the technologies. Clients are asking about it, and legaltech companies are announcing their solutions in mainstream media. However, some law firms are hesitant to use Chat GPT and other LLMs, citing concerns about security and privacy.
In this context, Jeroen will discuss the reality of LLMs, beyond the hype. He will provide insights into what law firms are currently using LLMs for and how they are building solutions based on generative AI. Additionally, he will discuss how to address concerns about potential changes to business models and the impact of these technologies on the legal industry.
Overall, the session will explore the potential benefits and challenges of using LLMs and generative AI in the legal field. By examining the current state of the technology and its applications, the session aims to provide a nuanced perspective on the role of these emerging technologies in law firms and in-house legal departments.
Jeroen's keynote will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by Ari Kaplan. Panellists include:
- Andrea Miskolczi (Dentons)
- Alex Smith (iManage)
- Peter Kits (KPMG)

The rise of the Augmented Lawyer
In today's day and age of technological expansion, we have identified that there are three major forces at play in the legal sector: clients, talent, and data. As it’s apparent we already have difficulties managing our current workload, it becomes hard to imagine a scenario where legal professionals can keep up with these trends – let alone cope with the rise of disruption within the industry. Instead of posing a threat, great technology will augment today's lawyers to deliver more high-value tasks. This presentation will teach you some examples of how technology (such as AI) can help lawyers become more enabled to act as experts in the field.

From Frustration to Efficiency: Implementing Legal Tech in a Law Firm
Isabela, a Project Finance and Banking Law attorney, will be speaking about her experience in creating a Knowledge Management and Legal Tech department to tackle the tedious and time-consuming tasks involved in transactions. Despite not fully understanding what those terms meant, Isabela proposed the idea to a partner at 4 am during a 2019 closing, which led to her new role as a Knowledge Management and Innovation Officer.
In this session, Isabela will discuss how she focused on people and processes before implementing technology. Through active listening and internal benchmarking, Isabela's team implemented efficiency tools to tackle urgent problems like document formatting and automation, which led to further automation of due diligence and transaction closings. Although they may not be at maximum efficiency yet, they have reached a new level and are excited for what's next.
Isabela will share her experience in being a resource for support and help to the attorneys and how constantly seeking new tools and experiences has improved the practice. While not all law firms require the same tools, Isabela emphasizes the importance of understanding people and processes before making budget decisions and how legal tech tools can be a tremendous asset in tackling inefficiencies and improving overall performance.

Running your NBI and Conflict Search processes on the iManage Cloud Platform
The session will focus on the benefits running NBI (New Business Intake) and Conflict Search processes on the iManage Cloud Platform and as well the overall benefits of our cloud offering that provides a secure and efficient and holistic solution for legal professionals. During the session, we will discuss the way firms currently run their NBI and Conflicts processes and how they can rely on iManage to streamline theirs through one solution that is far more than just a search tool. We will cover how you can look to combine various key onboarding functionalities through one solution that is naturally connected to other firm critical solutions like iManage Work for secure file syncing and iManage Security Policy Manager to ensure information barriers are enforced at the point of conflict checking and new business intake activities. We will also bridge our conversation into discussing how firms have already made their DMS migration to the iManage Cloud Native solution and review why now is the time for those firms still looking to decide when to transition to the iManage cloud.

What leading law firms do different to successfully innovate
Clients have more choices for legal services, making customer excellence a critical factor for differentiation and revenue growth. Approximately 50% of clients change their law firm panel annually, and three quarters of those clients mentioned legal technology as a top trend to do so. Law firms that succeed at creating real innovative services to offer better client experiences have a massive competitive advantage and attract and retain more clients.
Unfortunately, application development is much more than just creating the application. In our years of experience with building software together with clients, we see that especially law firms have a hard time in building applications that fall flat on their face. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Chris Obdam, CEO of low-code platform Betty Blocks, will walk you through a proven innovation framework he uses to help leading law firms build innovative solutions that excite end-users.

Creating Lasting Change in the Legal Industry: Strategies for Starting from Zero and Moving Forward
Legal service organisations must view innovation as an ongoing process rather than a one-time project. Unfortunately, many leaders and stakeholders in the industry treat innovation as an afterthought, resulting in missed opportunities and lost market share. To create valuable and lasting change, it's important to establish a culture of innovation within the organisation.
During this session, we will explore essential factors to help legal service organisations make innovation a permanent part of their business strategy. We will link innovation and delivery power to tools and highlight concrete opportunities. This includes creating an environment encouraging new ideas and experimentation, developing an innovation team responsible for driving new initiatives, and aligning innovation efforts with the organisation's goals and objectives. By implementing these key points, legal service organisations can stay ahead of the competition and continuously improve their services to meet the ever-evolving needs of their clients.

Connect the Dots: Using Conflicts Results to Create Information Barriers and Protect Clients
Accuracy and efficiency in a conflicts search are the keys to facilitating fast and effective business intake. Unfortunately, it’s not enough to just follow a predetermined checklist and or sending out emails hoping your peers review the work you want to win for the firm. Hard-to-find conflicts can present big problems for the firm but at the heart, the why of conflicts searching is not to protect the firm, it’s to protect the client – protect their interests and protect their information. During this session we will look at how firms need a sophisticated conflicts check solution that provides firms with a 360-degree view of all types of conflicts, automated issue spotting, multiple interactive clearance options, and comprehensive audit history. Leveraging such a solution will expose potential conflicts when looking to accept new business and or during the lateral hire process. We will then discuss how at the point conflicts are identified, firms should be thinking about how they can effectively create required information barriers to ensure individuals and teams are screened off before new business is accepted and or before a lateral hire logs on to the firm domain for the first time.

Cross-border investigations – are you ‘data ready’?
We all keep creating and storing more and more data. The latest figures show that the volume of enterprise data doubled between 2020 and 2022.
When regulators come calling, you need to be able to access your data quickly so there is a premium on being agile and ready.
This session explores key challenges faced by global organisations, including; ensuring that digital transformation and cloud initiatives meet all applicable statutory regulatory and legal requirements, improving information security, leveraging enterprise information assets to gain a competitive edge in the big data analytics era, quantifying exposure in the event of a data breach and complying with aggressive regulatory notification requirements for data breaches.
These are real-world challenges that law firms and corporates are facing right now and in this session we consider the latest technologies and solutions being deployed to maximise value, reduce risk, increase efficiencies, improve defensibility and manage costs while adhering to practical, industry-accepted legal and compliance requirements.

Your legal knowledge base, right at your fingertips

Henchman centralizes past clauses and definitions from any legal team's contract database and delivers them intelligently in lawyers' familiar Microsoft Word or Outlook environments. This eliminates time-consuming tasks and allows lawyers to focus on adding value and expertise.
