Legal AI: London 2025: Real Use Cases, Real Impact

Inside Legal AI • August 12, 2025

As the legal sector moves from AI experimentation to execution, Legal AI: London (Dec 3–4) brings together the thinkers, builders, and changemakers reshaping how law firms use AI to work smarter, faster, and more strategically. Across two days, attendees will explore how knowledge management, legal operations, and client services can thrive with the right mix of tech, culture, and strategy. 


Here are just a few highlights you won’t want to miss: 


Stephen Bedford on Building AI-Ready Infrastructure 


Dec 3, 10:45 – 11:30 AM | Stephen Bedford, Product Director, Atlas by ClearPeople 

AI is only as good as the knowledge it's built on. Stephen Bedford’s session breaks down how firms can bring order to unstructured and fragmented data to unlock real value from AI. A must for anyone wrestling with messy repositories or early-stage taxonomy efforts. 


Panel: AI Investment, Pricing & Proving Value 


🕐 Dec 3, 1:45 – 2:30 PM | Moderator: Claire McNamara (Pennington Manches Cooper)  | Panelists: Sandra Smythe (Farrer & Co), Alison Devlin (Eversheds Sutherland), Olivia Dhein (Baker McKenzie).

It’s not enough to buy AI—firms have to price it right and prove its worth. This panel brings real-world stories from legal KM and innovation leads on how they’re selecting tools, justifying costs, and measuring ROI that matters to clients and leadership alike. 


Martin Hasler on People-First AI Adoption 


Dec 4, 3:30 – 4:15 PM | Speaker: Martin Hasler, Innovation Manager, VWV 

Not all AI tools align with a firm’s people, values, or culture. This thoughtful session challenges firms to evaluate adoption based on inclusion, wellbeing, and long-term impact—not just shiny features. A grounding talk for any team seeking sustainable, human-centered innovation. 


Panel: KM Beyond Folders 


Dec 4, 12:30 – 1:15 PM | Panelists: Gabriel Karawani (Atlas by ClearPeople), Thomas Procter (The Lawyer
