Two legal leaders on what actually changes - the roles, the hiring, and the people who don't want to.
Picking tools turns out to be the easy part. The harder work is the department: which roles get rewritten, what goes in the JD, who owns a workflow once it exists, and what to do about the twenty-year expert who would rather not.
In this on-demand session, Doug Mandel (GC at Inflection AI, and the first GC at LinkedIn) and Dina Segal (CLO at Gusto, leading a team of 80+ across legal and compliance) compare notes from opposite ends of the size spectrum - a team built from one, and a department restructured around AI. They get specific about hiring, build-versus-buy, hackathons, performance expectations, and how the outside counsel relationship is changing.
Best for whoever owns AI policy at your organization, and for GCs fielding "can we actually do this?" from their own teams.
Speakers walk through:
- What changes in the org chart: new roles, rewritten JDs, and where a legal engineer fits
- Build versus buy, and how to decide without stalling in evaluation
- Bringing a team along, including the people resisting it
- Hiring for it: interview panels, homework assignments, and why mindset outranks tool experience
- What all of this does to the outside counsel relationship
