AI is no longer a future-state issue for legal departments. It is already showing up in contract workflows, litigation support, vendor platforms, business tools, outside counsel work product, and everyday information gathering. For in-house counsel, that creates a practical ethics challenge: how to help the business move faster with AI while still meeting professional duties around competence, confidentiality, communication, supervision, and candor.
This interactive AI Ethics CLE will help in-house legal teams understand how AI is changing legal practice and how to spot the risks that can arise when AI tools are used without clear guardrails. Through practical scenarios involving platform selection, contracting, litigation, confidentiality, and AI-assisted drafting, attendees will learn how to ask better questions, evaluate tool-related risks, and build workflows that support responsible AI use in real corporate environments.
The session will move beyond abstract AI discussion to focus on real scenarios that in-house counsel are being faced with like: which tools are appropriate for legal work, what information can safely be shared, how AI use may affect litigation obligations, how to supervise AI-assisted work product, and when disclosure or escalation may be required.
