Putting AI to Work: Real World Case Studies and Lessons for In-House Counsel and Transaction Teams
November 4, 2026
AI is changing how legal work gets done. For in-house legal, business development and transaction teams, the question is no longer whether to use these tools, but how to use them safely and responsibly. Join us for a practical, case-study-driven presentation that goes beyond general do’s and don’ts and abstract concepts into how AI is actually being used on real matters today in what is a dynamic and evolving practice.
O’Melveny partners Reema Shah, Craig Menden, and Matt O’Loughlin will begin by setting the stage, looking at where AI fits in legal practice today and the opportunities and challenges it presents. From there, they will walk through real-world case studies drawn from litigation, M&A, and other use cases, showing how AI can be applied in practice. They will close by highlighting certain ethical, professional, and business risks that should be considered with the use of AI tools.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this program, participants will be able to:
I. Evaluate opportunities and challenges of using AI tools in legal practice, and where AI can supplement lawyer judgment.
II. Apply lessons from real-world litigation and M&A case studies, including AI-assisted trial preparation and transaction document tools, to find practical ways AI can make their own legal work faster and more efficient.
III. Assess ethical, professional, and business risks of using AI, including confidentiality and data security, AI policy and compliance, and accountability, so they can put responsible safeguards in place within their organizations.
