Day 1 Agenda

10:10 AM THINK TANK: BUILDING A STRATEGIC LEGAL TECH ROADMAP: CHARTING THE COURSE FOR INNOVATION, ADOPTION, AND IMPACT

Building an effective legal tech roadmap is not about having the biggest technology budget, it is about making strategic choices that align innovation with business priorities. Like skilled navigators selecting the right instruments for the journey, legal teams must balance technology, processes, and people to create lasting impact. Success depends not only on choosing the right solutions, but on embedding them into ways of working that drive adoption, efficiency, and long-term value.

  • Chart the right course by identifying where technology can deliver the greatest impact and where process or governance improvements may be the better solution
  • Choose the right instruments by exploring how legal teams evaluate technology investments and avoid solutions that fail to deliver value
  • Measure progress on the journey by understanding how to track adoption, demonstrate value, and embed sustainable change
