Legal Leaders Discuss AI's Role in Law Practice at NYC Summit
Foley Hoag partner Ben Howe will speak with Jake Weiner, head of strategic business development at Harvey, about how AI is changing legal services and corporate legal strategy. The conversation takes place May 7 at the AI Furnace Hot 100 Summit in New York.
The panel addresses a shift already underway in how companies and their legal teams work together. AI tools are beginning to handle document review, contract analysis, and legal research-work that traditionally consumed significant attorney and paralegal hours.
What's Being Discussed
Howe and Weiner will examine what the next five years hold for legal services. The conversation covers how AI reshapes the relationship between companies and their legal advisors, and what that means for building more effective partnerships.
The summit draws Fortune 500 decision makers, AI labs, and leaders from 100 enterprise-ready startups. Partners Erik Huestis and Chip Korn will also attend.
For Legal Professionals
If you work in legal, understanding how AI tools integrate into practice is increasingly important. Many firms are experimenting with AI-powered research and document automation. Learning how these tools work-and their limitations-is becoming a practical skill.
Resources like AI for Legal and the AI Learning Path for Paralegals offer practical training on how these systems function and where they add value in legal workflows.
