🇩🇪 GC Rendez-Vous : The Legal Operating Model in the Age of AI

It is starting to change how General Counsel think about the operating model of their legal function — what should sit in-house, what can be automated, where external expertise still adds value, and what we should expect from law firms and other legal service providers. For our next GC Rendez-Vous breakfast in Frankfurt, we're bringing together a small group of General Counsel and senior in-house legal leaders to compare notes on what the next-generation legal operating model actually looks like. Over breakfast, we'll explore: → Build, buy or outsource?How is AI changing decisions around internal headcount, technology and external support? → Rethinking outside counselIf AI makes legal work faster and more efficient, how should that translate into pricing, delivery and value from law firms? → What should stay in-house?Where does institutional knowledge and strategic judgement matter most — and where can work increasingly be delegated or automated? → From legal spend to legal valueHow should GCs evaluate external providers when hours worked becomes a less meaningful measure of value? → The next-generation legal operating modelWhat does the right mix of people, technology, law firms and alternative providers look like? The format No lengthy presentations or back-to-back panels. This is an intimate, interactive breakfast built around peer discussion — bringing together the in-house and outside counsel perspectives to explore how legal service delivery is changing in practice. The aim? To leave with a clearer view of what others are changing, what they're keeping, and where AI is genuinely shifting the equation. Who is it for? General Counsel, Heads of Legal and senior in-house legal leaders responsible for legal strategy, resourcing, outside counsel relationships and/or legal transformation. 📍 Frankfurt — hosted at the Future Lawyer Conference📅 Tuesday 29th September🥐 Executive Breakfast👥 Invitation-only | Limited capacity Hosted at the Future Lawyer Conference in Frankfurt on law firm day Request your seat to join the conversation.
