Course Overview
Audience: Managing Partners, CIOs/CTOs, COOs, and Legal Operations Leaders.
Purpose: Build a practical, defensible AI strategy and execution roadmap for a law firm—covering readiness, use case prioritization, budgeting, vendor selection, culture, and governance.
What you will produce
- AI readiness snapshot (people, process, data, technology, risk).
- Prioritized AI use case portfolio (impact vs feasibility).
- 12–18 month roadmap and budget model (TCO + ROI narrative).
- Vendor evaluation scorecard and pilot plan.
- Governance + operating model for sustainable adoption.
How to use this course
- Complete the labs as working drafts you can bring to leadership meetings.
- Keep a running “decision log” for trade-offs and assumptions.
- Use the checklists in each lesson as your minimum control baseline.
Professional responsibility note: AI adoption in law firms must be aligned to confidentiality, competence, supervision, and client communication obligations. (See ABA Formal Opinion 512 for a useful framing.)
