automation, streamlined workflows, and flexible resourcing — can help legal teams stay
efficient, effective, and aligned with rising client expectations.
This session is not about replacing what law firms do best in-house – it’s about identifying
where workflow automation and support can enhance capacity, reduce strain, and add
value in an increasingly complex litigation landscape.
We’ll cover:

Workflow automation techniques that enable repeatable, defensible, and cost-

conscious review processes.

When and how to augment your internal team with trusted partners — ensuring that

outsourcing enhances, rather than replaces, in-house strategy.

Opportunities to share costs when opposing or co-counsel engage a common

review partner to work from the same data set, minimizing redundancy and
improving efficiency.

Cost sharing when opposing or co-counsel work together with a partner on the

same data set.

The growing value of self-serve eDiscovery platforms, giving firms full control with

the added flexibility of expert tools, support, and infrastructure on demand
Whether you’re looking for short-term support during high-volume periods or building a
long-term, tech-forward litigation support strategy, this session will oƯer practical insights
to help you work smarter — not harder — and better serve your clients in today’s evolving
legal environment.

Beyond Automation: How Generative AI Will Make Lawyers Better at Their Jobs
2026-03-12 11:30 - 14:30 (America/Vancouver)
This session will highlight practical use cases, emerging best practices, and governance frameworks required to deploy GenAI responsibly.

Topic:
Beyond Automation: How Generative AI Will Make Lawyers Better at Their Jobs in eDiscovery
Description:
Generative AI is reshaping the practice of law, not by replacing attorneys, but by elevating their capabilities in ways that were previously impossible. In eDiscovery, where the volume, velocity, and variety of data continue to explode, GenAI is emerging as a strategic partner that enhances legal judgment, accelerates insight generation, and strengthens defensibility. This session explores how AI-driven summarization, pattern detection, and context-aware analysis are transforming document review, early case assessment, privilege workflows, and investigations. Attendees will learn how GenAI reduces manual burden while improving accuracy, consistency, and the overall quality of legal work.
But the real story is how GenAI empowers lawyers to operate at a higher level. By surfacing key facts, identifying hidden connections, and providing rapid synthesis of complex data sets, AI enables attorneys to focus on strategy, advocacy, and decision-making rather than administrative tasks. This session will highlight practical use cases, emerging best practices, and the governance frameworks required to deploy GenAI responsibly and defensibly. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of how GenAI augments—not replaces—legal expertise, and how forward-thinking teams are already leveraging these tools to deliver faster, smarter, and more client‑aligned outcomes.

We’ll explain and demonstrate different forms of AI to accomplish tasks like ECA, investigation, privilege logging, DSARs, timeline construction. You’ll learn how algorithms and agents differ, where it makes sense to use one over the other, why tokens are important, plus interact and engage with working tools in a live database. Ask the AI to research a topic of interest, see how it reasons through the task in real time, and then prompt it to modify the output in the style of your favorite writer.
