Corporate law departments facing pressure to do more with less are exploring agentic AI as a step beyond current contract lifecycle management tools. According to a recent Above the Law feature, even the most helpful tools for tasks like document review or clause extraction remain assistive. Agentic AI, by contrast, moves past single-task automation to orchestrate multi-step workflows across legal, procurement, and finance.
The discussion will feature Alice Boldis, head of contract management at Voith Group, who will talk about using technology for highly complex construction agreements and preparing her department for agentic tools. Other experts will address scaling AI-native contracting across a global, multidivision enterprise, including lessons from pilot programs to group-wide rollouts.
The source also outlines practical concerns for in-house teams: what it means for AI to augment legal judgment rather than replace it, how to build internal champions through training and change management, and what to look for in a technology partner as adoption scales. The feature is framed around an upcoming event, so it offers a forward-looking agenda rather than case-study results.
