Legal Technology Legal AI Attorney Resources

What do you do when you bought the AI platform, you paid for the licenses, but nobody is using it?

This session tackles the real challenge of AI adoption in law firms—not the technology, but the people. Drawing on insights from legal operations leaders and practicing attorneys, attendees will walk away with a concrete playbook for building internal momentum, identifying the right champion, and turning skeptics into converts.

Learning Objectives

Understand why AI adoption fails even after purchase-and how to close the gap between contract and usage
Identify the attributes of an effective internal AI champion and how to find that person at your firm
Design a staged rollout strategy built around low-stakes, high-visibility wins
Build training programs anchored in real workflows attorneys already use, not feature tours
Implement adoption metrics, listening tours, and course-correction protocols
Establish verification habits that prevent over-reliance on AI output from day one
