CLE-eligible webinar

Future-Proofing Legal Professionals for an AI-Driven Industry

December 8, 2026 from 12:00-1:45 p.m. ET

What legal professionals need to stay valuable in an AI-driven industry

AI can already review documents, draft contracts, and complete research faster and cheaper than people can on their own. As more of that work shifts to AI, the skills legal professionals need to build are changing too.

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

  • Identify which tasks AI is taking over and what that means for training junior staff.
  • Build the skills clients will keep paying for, including judgment, discernment, and counseling.
  • Supervise AI responsibly under your existing competence and confidentiality duties.

You’ll hear a keynote from Ed Walters (VP, Legal Innovation & Strategy at Clio), followed by a live panel where an associate, paralegal, operations manager, and firm leader will share firsthand how they’re adapting their skills. Stay after the session for an optional live demo of Clio.

Duration: 75 minutes of CLE, followed by an optional 30-minute walkthrough of how you can power your firm with Clio’s AI.
