Stop piloting. Start operating.
The gap is not strategy. It is execution.
35% of legal teams are piloting. 13% are scaling. Only 6.7% have fully operationalised. Not because they do not know it matters, and not because they have not started.
Andy Mellett, Jason McQuillen and Ivana Kovacevic get practical on the steps teams are actually taking to close that gap. No frameworks. No maturity models. About an hour.
What this session covered
Where to start
Picking the first use case, and why the pre-work most teams skip is the thing that decides whether the rest works.
A business case that gets approved
Framing it in the language of revenue and risk rather than legal efficiency, and the internal alignment that has to sit behind it.
The first 90 days
What an AI-enabled legal function looks like on an ordinary working day. Who reviews what, what gets automated, what the business notices.
