This edition of LegalTech Diaries looks at what happens when AI moves out of theory and into the realities of legal work.

The debate has shifted. For most legal teams, the question is no longer whether AI has a place, but how to use it responsibly, effectively and in ways that stand up to scrutiny. That means thinking carefully about trust, governance, workflow design and where human judgement matters most.

Across this month’s conversations, one idea comes through strongly: the strongest progress is happening where legal leaders stay focused, solve for real-world problems and build with intention. From compliance and eDiscovery to in-house strategy and data protection, this edition captures an industry learning how to turn momentum into meaningful change.

Featuring insights from leaders at LexisNexis, Intelligent Legal Solutions, Xapien, HYCU, Array UK, DeepL and Ogier, this is a wide-ranging look at how legal transformation is taking shape across the market.

We hope it gives you a fresh lens on what comes next.
