AI agents are changing how legal and legal-adjacent tasks, such as contract review, due diligence, and compliance monitoring, are performed. Yet these systems don't always get it right, and it can be hard to know when to rely on their outputs.

This Workshop gives professionals in legal and compliance-related fields hands-on experience with AI agents and practical tools to understand their capabilities and limitations. We'll start by interacting with a live AI agent and reviewing transcripts that reveal common failures, including reasoning errors, missing information, and overconfident outputs. In small groups, we'll design an agent control framework for a specific organizational profile, covering guardrails, monitoring, escalation points, and autonomy levels.

By the end of the session, participants will know how AI agents operate, how to evaluate agent performance, and how to design frameworks for using these tools safely and effectively in their own workflows.
