Greg is the Chief Knowledge Services Officer at Jackson Walker, where he oversees the strategy and operations of the library, research, and knowledge management functions. Marlene is the Assistant Director of Innovation at Mayer Brown, where she is part of an innovation team focused on identifying and delivering solutions that are key to the business success of clients and attorneys.

Join us as we uncover the role of AI in transforming legal practices and the future of knowledge management in law. 

 A few takeaways…

Adapting to AI in Legal Workflows: AI and other legal tools are revolutionizing traditional legal tasks, making processes like research and document review more efficient. Lawyers in large firms can use these technologies to enhance their productivity and provide more value to clients.

The impact of AI on Legal Strategy and Decision-Making: AI is not just a tool for automation but a strategic asset that can influence legal outcomes. Lawyers need to understand AI's capabilities to better shape legal strategies and decision-making processes in complex cases. 

Navigating the Security and Ethical Challenges of AI: Lawyers need to be aware of the confidentiality and ethical implications AI and other legal technology tools bring, ensuring they stay compliant with legal standards and client expectations.

Integrating AI into Firm Culture and Training: Adopting AI is not just about the tools, but also about cultivating a culture that is open to innovation and continuous learning, something which is crucial for large law firms to remain competitive and efficient.
