CLE Webinar: What Lawyers Need to Know Now About AI and Legal Tech
From contract review to drafting assistance, AI-powered tools are rapidly changing how legal work gets done.
On June 25 at 2:00 p.m., eBrevia's Preethy Prakash and legal industry veteran Rick Wood will join LearnFormula for a live CLE webinar, AI and Legal Tech: What Lawyers Need to Know Now. The program will also be available as an on-demand recording following the live event.
The session is designed to help legal professionals cut through the hype surrounding AI and focus on practical, responsible applications that can improve efficiency while preserving the professional judgment that remains central to legal practice.
eBrevia will present a CLE webinar for LearnFormula on June 25, 2026.
Meet the Presenters
Preethy Prakash, who leads business development at eBrevia, brings a unique perspective to the discussion as a former practicing attorney. Having worked both in legal practice and legal technology, she understands the challenges lawyers face when evaluating emerging technologies and balancing innovation with professional obligations.
Joining her is Rick Wood, a respected legal industry professional with 27 years of experience helping law firms and legal departments navigate technological change. Together, they will provide both strategic and practical insights into the evolving role of AI in legal work.
The webinar is hosted by LearnFormula, a continuing education platform dedicated to helping professionals stay current on important industry developments.
Understanding the AI Landscape
One of the webinar's primary goals is to demystify AI terminology that is often used interchangeably in the marketplace.
Attendees will learn the differences between artificial intelligence, machine learning, and generative AI, along with how each technology is being applied within the legal profession. The presentation will explain how machine learning systems identify patterns in data to support legal tasks.
The discussion will also explore the rise of large language models (LLMs), the technology behind tools such as ChatGPT and other generative AI platforms. As legal work is heavily text-based, understanding how these models generate and analyze language has become increasingly important for attorneys and legal professionals.
Where AI Is Delivering Value Today
AI adoption within legal organizations is widespread and growing. The webinar will highlight practical use cases that are producing measurable results, including:
Contract review and analysis
Legal drafting assistance
Research summarization
Case law identification
Client communications
Attendees will also examine real-world examples of how AI-assisted workflows can reduce time spent on repetitive tasks while allowing lawyers to focus on higher-value legal analysis and strategic decision-making.
Benefits (and Limitations) of AI
While AI can increase efficiency, consistency, and access to information, the presenters will emphasize that technology remains a tool rather than a replacement for legal expertise.
The discussion will address both the opportunities and limitations of AI systems, including the importance of training data quality, human oversight, and professional judgment. Participants will gain a realistic understanding of where AI excels and where caution remains necessary.
Managing Risk in an AI-Enabled Practice
Perhaps the most critical portion of the program focuses on risk management.
As firms and legal departments adopt AI tools, attorneys must continue to meet their obligations regarding confidentiality, competence, and client protection. The webinar will examine key considerations including:
Protecting confidential client information
Evaluating vendor security and privacy practices
Verifying AI-generated outputs
Maintaining documentation and audit trails
Understanding intellectual property implications
Developing internal AI governance policies
The presenters will also discuss common mistakes organizations make when adopting AI, including over-reliance on unverified outputs and the use of public AI tools with sensitive client information.
Understanding AI Hallucinations
One area receiving significant attention in the legal profession is the phenomenon known as AI "hallucinations," instances where an AI system generates information that appears credible but is inaccurate or entirely fabricated.
The webinar will explain why hallucinations occur, why they are inherent to how large language models operate, and what legal professionals can do to reduce risk. Participants will learn practical techniques for validating AI-generated content and building workflows that prioritize verification and accountability.
Building Responsible AI Workflows
Beyond simply using AI tools, the program will explore how sophisticated legal organizations are creating structured processes to improve reliability and transparency.
Topics will include:
Grounding AI outputs in trusted sources
Using structured legal reasoning frameworks
Implementing review and validation procedures
Defining roles, jurisdictions, and practice-specific parameters
Establishing escalation protocols when confidence is low
These approaches can help legal professionals use AI more effectively while maintaining the standards expected by clients, courts, and regulators.
Looking Ahead
The legal technology landscape continues to evolve rapidly. Attendees will leave with practical next steps for evaluating AI solutions, developing internal policies, and staying informed as technology and regulation continue to change.
