What Legal Teams Should Automate — and What They Shouldn’t

Pressure to automate legal work is only increasing, but automation can reduce administrative burden without being the right call for every process. The strongest legal teams distinguish between repetitive, rules-based work and work that requires context, judgment, or strategic decision-making — and get the level of human oversight right for each. The goal isn’t maximum automation; it’s thoughtful automation with the right person still in the loop. Join us on Thursday, September 3, at 3:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM PT as Andy White, CEO at Filejet, Megan Bradley, Product Legal at DocuSign, and Lisa Gibson, Senior Corporate Counsel – Technology & Privacy at Louisiana-Pacific Corporation, walk through a practical framework for deciding what legal work to automate, what to support with technology, and what should stay firmly in human hands. Attendees will learn how to: Recognize the characteristics of legal work that’s well suited for automation Identify processes that should remain human-led Set the right level of review and oversight for automated work Avoid common automation mistakes and the risks they create Start with a manageable, high-value process instead of automating everything at once Who Should Attend: This program is designed for in-house counsel, legal operations professionals, and compliance leaders deciding where automation fits into their legal function.
