AI in Litigation: From Case Strategy To Case Management

Thursday, November 19th from 4:15PM-5:15PM

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how litigators organize, analyze, and manage complex cases. This panel will explore practical ways lawyers can use AI throughout the litigation lifecycle, including to synthesize large records, build and test case chronologies, identify key facts and inconsistencies, organize discovery, prepare for depositions, track claims and defenses, and manage litigation strategy across teams. Panelists will also discuss where AI tools are most effective, where human judgment remains critical, and the professional responsibility, confidentiality, accuracy, and privilege considerations lawyers should keep in mind when incorporating AI into litigation workflows.

Panelists

• Daniel JT McKenna | Ballard Spahr LLP
• Theordore Rostow | Syllo

State Regulatory Attention to AI: The Colorado ADMT Act and Beyond

Friday, November 20th from 11:15AM-12:15PM

As the financial services industry is increasingly embracing AI, state regulation is responding. In this panel, we will discuss the Colorado ADMT Act and its proposed regulations, noting challenges for the industry, as well as likely areas of industry pushback, including whether the regulations are consistent with the Act itself and federal preemption issues under the FCRA and National Bank Act. We will also look at the CSBS framework for state regulatory supervision of AI implementation by financial services companies, and discuss the practical way forward for the industry under an evolving regulatory landscape.

Panelists

• Gregory Szewczyk | Ballard Spahr LLP 
• Darren Welch | Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP
