In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries, corporate legal departments and private practice law firms are typically advancing on separate fronts. However, a groundbreaking initiative aims to change that by fostering a unified approach to AI adoption in the legal field.

A recent study by Everlaw and the Association of Corporate Counsel reveals that only 3% of corporate and law firm collaborations are developing AI together. This statistic highlights a significant opportunity for integration, much like the early days of the billable hour, where independent solutions dominated before a standard practice was established.

To address this gap, PERSUIT is hosting a CLE-eligible webinar on May 21, 2026, at 1 p.m. ET, designed to inspire and guide legal entities toward collaborative AI development. The webinar promises to be a pivotal meeting point for forward-thinking legal professionals keen on shaping the future of their practices through technology.

The discussion will kick off with a "collaboration origin story," detailing what sparked the initial cooperation between a corporate legal department and a law firm, who led the charge, and how their relationship evolved with the integration of AI technology. This narrative will provide valuable insights into the potential hurdles and milestones of starting a joint AI venture.

Furthermore, the panel will outline a replicable step-by-step process that attendees can adapt to their own organizations. This blueprint aims to demystify the complexities of AI integration in legal practices and encourage more firms and departments to embark on this transformative journey together.

The webinar will also cover the tangible outcomes of such collaborations. Both short-term gains and long-term strategic benefits will be discussed, providing a comprehensive view of what’s at stake and what can be achieved through a unified approach to legal AI.

Legal professionals interested in being part of this revolutionary discussion are encouraged to sign up and join a growing group of pioneers aptly dubbed "The 3% Club." By fostering collaboration rather than competition, participants can not only lead in the adoption of AI but also set new standards for innovation in the legal industry.
