WSHB is excited to share that Anoush Holaday, a leading voice in legal technology and ethics, will join a distinguished panel at the CLM Annual Conference in Dallas, Texas on April 10, 2025. The session, focusing on the transformative rise of generative AI (GenAI) in the legal and insurance sectors, will run from 11:30-12:30 p.m.
This insightful roundtable will explore the dual-edged nature of GenAI, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize litigation management and reshape traditional practices while addressing the challenges it introduces. Topics will include the economic implications of implementing Gen AI tools, their impact on billing and profit models, and the ethical and privacy concerns tied to unregulated use- especially through open-source platforms.
"Gen AI represents an extraordinary opportunity to innovate within the legal and insurance fields, but it also comes with substantial risks," said Holaday. "This session will provide practical strategies to balance these opportunities and challenges in a responsible manner."
The panel will include Director of Claims, Mark Kwiatkowski of FCCI Insurance Group; attorney J. Russell Goudelock; and Lisa Roalsvik, an attorney for Liberty Mutual. This distinguished group will emphasize the importance of collaboration between law firms and carriers before adopting Gen AI tools, as well as the necessity of developing internal AI policies to ensure compliance with ethical standards. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of how GenAI can disrupt traditional billing guidelines, reshape litigation management, and redefine best practices for both industries.
"Generative AI is not just a tool- it's a paradigm shift that requires thoughtful implementation and vigilant oversight," added Holaday. "We're here to help professionals navigate this quickly changing reality with confidence."
The CLM Annual Conference continues to be a premier event for leaders in the legal and insurance industries, providing valuable opportunities for learning and networking. For more information on this session and to register, visit: https://events.theclm.org/event/AC25/overview.
