Beyond Copilots: How AI Is Transforming Legal Work Before It Reaches Lawyers

Wednesday, June 24th • 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM ET

Virtual Event - Zoom

Legal teams are under pressure to adopt AI, and most are already experimenting with copilots, contract review tools, and drafting assistants. These tools are real and valuable. But almost all of them focus on the same thing: making lawyers move faster once work hits their desk.

That isn’t where the biggest gains are.

The legal teams pulling ahead aren’t optimizing for faster lawyers. They are using AI to reduce the work that reaches lawyers in the first place — structuring how requests enter the function, triaging them automatically, and deflecting or resolving the routine ones before a lawyer ever opens the ticket. The result isn’t just faster work. It’s complete visibility into legal demand, real operational data to guide decisions, and a system that multiplies the value of every investment across the legal tech stack.

Join us on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at 3:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM PT as Evan Wong, CEO and Co-Founder of Checkbox, and Somya Kaushik, Chief Legal Officer at Checkbox, walk through how leading in-house legal teams are using AI to transform not the lawyer’s work, but the business of legal — how work enters the function, how it gets triaged, and how much of it can be automated or deflected entirely before a lawyer is ever involved.

What You’ll Learn:

Why the biggest efficiency gains in legal do not come from making lawyers move faster — and where they actually come from
How to structure intake so requests enter the legal function with the context, urgency, and routing logic that prevents wasted lawyer time
How to triage and deflect routine work — including requests that can be auto-resolved, sent to self-service, or handled by a non-lawyer — before a lawyer ever opens the ticket
How to use intake data to build complete visibility into legal demand, identify recurring patterns, and guide investment decisions across the legal function
How an intake-first AI strategy multiplies the ROI of every other tool in your legal tech stack, including contract review, drafting, research, and knowledge management

Who Should Attend:

This program is designed for general counsel, deputy general counsel, legal operations leaders, contracts managers, and senior members of corporate legal teams responsible for how legal work gets requested, prioritized, and delivered. It will be especially useful for legal and ops leaders evaluating AI investments, redesigning intake and triage, building self-service capabilities for the business, or working to translate legal team activity into operational data and measurable business outcomes.

There is NO COST to attend this program!
