Legal operations professionals are facing mounting pressure to modernise workflows as artificial intelligence continues to disrupt traditional contract management practices.
A forthcoming webinar from Above the Law and Concord will examine how agentic AI is changing the way in-house legal teams handle contracts and day-to-day legal operations.
The live event, scheduled for 26 August 2026, will explore the shift toward agentic AI within contract lifecycle management systems, known broadly in the industry as CLM platforms.
Agentic AI differs from earlier automation tools by taking initiative within workflows, completing multi-step tasks with reduced need for human intervention at every stage.
Contract management has long been a pain point for legal departments, with challenges around renewals, document storage, and internal approvals consuming significant time and resource.
Today’s AI-powered CLM systems are specifically designed to address these recurring bottlenecks, bringing a new level of automation to tasks that previously required heavy manual effort.
The webinar panel will demonstrate in practical terms what an agentic CLM system can accomplish, offering attendees a live look at capabilities that were not feasible just a couple of years ago.
For in-house legal professionals and legal operations teams, understanding these developments is increasingly important as the pace of technological change in the sector accelerates.
The session promises to go beyond theory, showing specific examples of how contract-related tasks can be handled with greater automation and less reliance on manual processes.
Attendees who cannot join the live broadcast will still be able to access the content, as registered participants will receive a free on-demand recording following the event.
The collaboration between Above the Law and Concord reflects a broader industry trend of legal publishers partnering with technology providers to educate practitioners on emerging tools.
As agentic AI matures, its adoption within legal departments is expected to grow, with contract management representing one of the clearest and most immediate areas of impact.
