Modern Pressures, Measured Responses: A Candid Conversation Between GCs and Law Firm Leaders
The ground beneath the legal industry is shifting, and leaders are feeling it in real time. From the unpredictable pace of AI adoption to the increasing demands of cybersecurity, today’s legal decision-makers are navigating more change, risk, and uncertainty than ever before. And while clients expect faster, smarter, and more secure service, the internal realities of training, resourcing, and aligning teams often tell a different story.
But it’s not just law firm partners under pressure. General Counsel are balancing complex compliance needs, budget scrutiny, and executive expectations, often while contending with the same technological and operational friction as their outside counsel. The tension is real, and the stakes are high: how do we evolve fast enough without losing sight of what matters most?
In this dynamic and candid conversation, ACEDS and Today's Managing Partner bring together General Counsel and Managing Partners for a real-world look at what’s keeping legal leaders up at night, and what they’re doing about it. This session will cut through the buzzwords and get straight to the strategic heart of the matter.
What We'll Explore:
- The pressure to adopt AI responsibly
- How law firms and legal departments are reskilling teams in real time
- The cybersecurity threats you can’t afford to overlook (especially now that threat actors are using AI too)
- The new associate or senior partner mindset and how it’s forcing change in career development and advancement
- How firms can better align with in-house expectations around service, scope, and value
Who Should Attend:

- General Counsel, Deputy GCs, and legal operations professionals
- Risk, compliance, and legal tech specialists
- Anyone invested in leading the legal function through complexity and change
