DATA / AI / INNOVATION / GOVERNANCE

From Information to Infrastructure

Law firms no longer suffer from a lack of data - they suffer from data that cannot be trusted, connected, governed, or used at speed.

Inside Legal Data: New York is a one-day, senior-level discussion focused on how leading firms are rebuilding their data foundations, moving beyond IT projects, to strategic infrastructures for pricing, delivery, risk management, and AI.

Across the US legal market, data has become the quiet constraint on nearly every major strategic ambition. Firms want:

• AI systems they can rely on
• Pricing and profitability insight beyond backward-looking reports
• Better coordination between KM, IT, innovation, finance, and practice leadership
• Stronger answers to client questions about transparency, security, and value

But many are discovering the same thing: without a coherent data strategy, everything else stalls.

Inside Legal Data: New York brings together firm leaders and operators who are actively working through this transition, from fragmented information toward governed, usable, decision-grade data.

What We’ll Explore

Rather than abstract frameworks, the discussion is anchored in real operational questions firms are facing right now:

• Data as Firm Infrastructure:  How leading firms are treating data as a shared, strategic asset, not a by-product of systems or matters.
• Governance Without Gridlock: Designing ownership, accountability, and access models that enable progress without slowing the business.
• AI Readiness in Practice:  What “AI-ready” actually means inside a law firm, and why most obstacles are data-related, not model-related.
• From Insight to Action: Moving beyond reports and dashboards toward data that informs pricing, staffing, investment, and risk decisions.
• The Human Layer:  Data literacy, incentives, and cultural adoption, why technical solutions fail without behavioral alignment.
• The Client Perspective: How in-house legal teams are evaluating law firms’ data maturity, transparency, and operational credibility.

The next phase of legal transformation will not be driven by technology alone, but by how well firms organize, govern, and use their data.
