From Data Sprawl to AI-Ready Law Firm

Regulatory pressure, the AI race, rising data costs and client confidentiality are reshaping legal practice. 

The recent Garfield AI win in Wandsworth County Court demonstrates that AI‑powered legal services are already before judges today. However, for most firms, data risk and sprawl, not technology, remain the primary barriers to scale. 

In this exclusive roundtable, senior legal, technology, security and information governance leaders will explore how to build a secure, AI‑ready data foundation. Chaired by Dux Raymond Sy, Chief Transformation Officer at AvePoint, the session combines expert insight and peer discussion on transforming fragmented, high‑risk matter estates into governed platforms that enable innovation, compliance and scalable AI adoption.
