Governing AI in Legal Teams: Balancing Growth, Cost and Control

Many legal and compliance teams have moved beyond the pilot stage with AI. The conversation is no longer simply about whether AI can help, but where AI agents should genuinely take the lead, where human judgement remains essential, and how organisations can scale AI without losing control of cost, governance or accountability. In this session, we’ll explore the practical decisions legal teams are now making as AI becomes part of everyday legal work. Drawing on your experience, we’ll discuss where AI agents can genuinely support legal and compliance teams, how to balance growth with cost and control, and how to build appropriate guardrails that enable responsible AI adoption at scale.
