Generalists vs Specialists: How Do You Structure Your Legal Department for AI?
Description
AI introduces a new set of legal questions - from decision-making to IP and cross-border risk. Business leaders expect Legal to guide responsible adoption and shape enterprise-wide AI strategy, but how do you build a legal team that is both adaptable and expert to keep pace with AI's evolution? This session explores how legal departments can structure themselves for an AI-driven future by balancing generalist breadth with specialist depth, positioning the legal department as a strategic enabler.
