Agenda Day 1

3:35 PM THINK TANK: AWAY WITH PAWNS - WORK THAT LEGAL AND COMPLIANCE SHOULD NOT BE DOING ANYMORE IN 2026

Legal and compliance teams are being asked to move faster, manage more risk, and support the business in increasingly complex environments - all while adopting AI in ways that are responsible, defensible, and aligned with organizational expectations. Join us as we reflect on how the nature of legal and compliance work is changing as AI reshapes expectations around speed, access, and decision-making. Together, participants will explore which types of work still demand human judgment, which activities feel misaligned with where senior legal teams should be spending their time in 2026, and where risk and inefficiency quietly accumulate before legal or compliance ever becomes involved.

- Discuss shared insight into where time, attention, and risk are being consumed today in ways that may no longer make sense in 2026
- Form a clearer perspective on how AI is changing expectations of legal and compliance teams, even when internal processes haven’t caught up
- Establish a framework for meeting new expectations, by clarifying how work enters legal and compliance, how work is resourced and resolved, with the right access to data and visibility to back it up
