Inspire EMEA

The next era of legal work will be defined not by who has access to AI, but by whose AI has the right context.

Every legal outcome draws on more than a single document. It depends on client history, matter evolution, firm precedent, governing policies, and institutional knowledge—connections that have been difficult to see and even harder for AI to understand.

In this opening keynote, NetDocuments will dive deep into the industry’s first Legal Context Gaph. Discover how this connective intelligence brings every matter into full context, enabling legal professionals and AI agents to deliver more accurate answers, relevant insights, lower costs, and better outcomes.

This is the foundation for a future where every legal professional, and every AI tool they choose, can work with the full power of what their organization already knows.

Speakers:
Josh Baxter, CEO, NetDocuments & Scott Kelly, VP of Product Management

Whether through the standard NetDocuments taxonomy or your firm’s or department’s own ontology, the ability to accurately, consistently and completely profile every document in your repository is both exciting and a critical element of surfacing the context legal professionals, and the AI tools they use, need to do their best work. After this session you’ll understand the options and successful approaches to solving the taxonomy challenge at scale within your organisation.

Speakers:
Heath Harris, VP of Applied AI and Enterprise Transformation

As AI reshapes legal work, the relationship between corporate legal departments and outside counsel is evolving alongside it. Expectations around collaboration, transparency, efficiency, and value are changing faster than ever.

Your firm’s knowledge is built over years of work. It’s in past matters, documents, and the experience of your people. But when it’s hard to find or only a few people know it, others can’t draw on it—and some of it leaves when those people move on. In this session, you’ll see the role NetDocuments can play in helping firms create, capture, store and distribute the knowledge held across every practice group and matter, and how to build a practical plan, with clear objectives, milestones and metrics, to level up your organisation’s knowledge with NetDocuments.

Speakers:
Colleen Baehrend, Legal Solutions Director 

Whatever your level of expertise, you’ll find value in this session, which focuses on the technical considerations and recommended best practices for using Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect AI tools, users and the context both require to do their best work. We’ll start with the basics (what MCP is and how it works) and progress to more advanced considerations around governance and auditability.

What if document review looked more like working in a spreadsheet than reading documents one by one? Discover how NetDocuments tabular review helps legal professionals instantly compare clauses, extract key information, identify exceptions, and analyse large document collections in minutes instead of days.

Technology alone doesn’t drive transformation, people do. This session widens the lens on innovation and adoption, covering AI alongside the people, processes and culture that determine whether new tools and ways of working actually stick. Featuring practical perspectives from NetDocuments experts and a customer, you’ll explore how to build buy-in, evolve processes, and invest in learning and development so your organisation can adopt new technology with confidence and keep innovating as the landscape continues to change.

Speakers:
Colleen Baehrend, Legal Solutions Director and Sharan Kaur, Legal Innovation Partner

Legal teams don’t have an AI accuracy problem or a cost problem in isolation – they have both, and most firms assume solving one means sacrificing the other. NetDocuments’ new Legal Context Engineering Benchmark (LCEB) tested that assumption directly: holding the model, agent, and questions constant while varying only the structured context available to the AI. The results show the path to how legal organizations can scale AI with confidence by leveraging context to get to the right answer at lower cost. Join us for an in depth discussion of the importance of context engineering in legal, including steps you can take in your organization to build readiness.

Rolling out NetDocuments AI capabilities, or any AI tool, is as much a change management challenge as a technical one. This session is built around case studies from law firms and legal departments that have navigated both sides of that rollout: the technical implementation and the human adoption curve that determines whether it sticks. We’ll survey where these organisations got it right, what they’d do differently with hindsight, and the common threads that separate a smooth rollout from a stalled one.

Speakers:
Sharan Kaur, Legal Innovation Partner

Knowledge management has always been about capturing what your organisation knows and putting it in front of the people who need it, but AI is changing both what’s possible and what’s expected. This session explores different ways to think about knowledge management in an AI-enabled world, from treating institutional memory as a living, connected asset rather than a static repository, to rethinking who’s responsible for curating it, plus practical ways to jump-start readiness with advanced tools that can identify, structure and surface institutional knowledge far faster than traditional manual approaches. 

Speakers:
Colleen Baehrend, Legal Solutions Director, Scott Kelly, VP of Product

People, process, technology, and culture. It takes all four working in harmony to enable your organisation to adapt to change, successfully adopt new tools and practices, and innovate to maintain and expand your competitive advantage.

Every organisation’s path to success looks a little different. In this session, you’ll hear directly from three NetDocuments partners, each sharing a real customer story from their own corner of the ecosystem. Across a series of short, sharp presentations, you’ll get a range of perspectives on the challenges being solved and the results being achieved across legal tech today. Come away with fresh ideas and practical takeaways you can bring back to your own organisation.

The pace of change across legal tech and the wider legal industry shows no sign of slowing. This closing panel brings together experts to look ahead at the trends and developments most likely to shape the year to come, from where AI capabilities are headed next to the shifts in roles, ways of working and client expectations already reshaping firms and legal departments. Whether you’re setting technology strategy or reassessing how your team operates, you’ll leave with informed predictions and a sharper sense of what’s worth watching, and preparing for, as we head into 2027.
