CLE/CPD WEBINAR

Five decisions that close the AI operating gap

Learn how law firms are putting AI to work once the tools are in place.

Thursday, December 10, 2026 | 12:00–1:00 p.m. ET

Moving beyond AI adoption

Clio surveyed 90 firm leaders and conducted 15 in-depth interviews. Seventy-two percent of large law firm leaders say their firm is progressing with AI. Eleven percent say it is operationalized. The difference between those two numbers is the AI operating gap.

This session dives into key findings in the report, including what’s creating the AI operating gap, and what firms can do to close it.

In this CLE/CPD-eligible* webinar, you’ll learn how to:

  • Close the AI operating gap
  • Determine which AI pilots to advance
  • Build on individual practice successes with AI

Duration: 60-minute session
