VIDEO: Watch Briefing AI Forum’s general counsel panel discuss how in-house legal teams are approaching AI

As the legal sector continues to grapple with the real-world impact of artificial intelligence, Briefing AI Forum 2025 brought together law firm leaders, change agents, and innovators from the legal industry to explore how firms can move from experimentation to implementation — embedding AI safely, strategically, and at scale.

Held in London last June, the event united senior leaders from across top UK and international firms, alongside legal technology experts and consultants, for a day of debate on the opportunities and challenges of AI in legal business.

One of the standout sessions was the general counsel perspective panel, where senior in-house counsel shared how they are approaching AI adoption — and what they now expect from their external advisers in this rapidly changing landscape.

In this insightful conversation, panellists discussed:

  • How AI is reshaping expectations around transparency, accountability and ethical governance
  • What clients want to see from firms adopting AI in practice
  • Where human oversight remains critical to maintaining trust and value
  • How in-house teams are balancing innovation with risk management

This session offered a rare, candid window into how clients are thinking about AI — and how law firms can align their own strategies to meet these evolving expectations.
