A Legal AI Playbook for In-House Teams

With rapid advances in legal AI, the challenge for in-house legal teams is about applying AI in a way that makes legal work more efficient, reliable, and scalable across the business. 

In this webinar, Jen Lenander, Senior Director & Legal Chief of Staff at Elastic, shares how the team has moved AI from experimentation to defined, production-ready processes. Through a deliberate automation strategy spanning intake, workflows, and contract review, Elastic has embedded AI into high-impact legal operations.

At the center of this approach is Checkbox as Elastic’s legal front door, orchestrating legal work across the organization, together with Ivo’s AI-powered contract review and redlining to accelerate agreement execution with surgical accuracy.

By removing friction from these processes, Elastic is applying AI across multiple high-impact use cases–improving turnaround times, driving business adoption, and scaling legal without adding headcount. 

What you’ll learn 

• How Elastic prioritizes AI use cases that deliver real operational impact 
• How a legal front door creates consistency, visibility, and efficiency across legal work 
• How AI-powered contract review accelerates deal cycles and increases the legal department’s strategic impact 
• How Elastic approaches CLM in a modular way–separating intake, review, and repository–to stay flexible as AI evolves 
• How AI-powered contract redlining fits into a broader legal automation strategy
• Where AI is delivering the most value today, and where human judgment still matters 
• The metrics that proved the approach was working 

This is a practical, case-study-driven session for legal ops leaders and in-house teams navigating today’s fast-moving legal AI landscape and looking for a clear path to real-world results.
