Agents in Legal: A Practical Guide to Choosing, Building, and Rolling Them Out

Join us for a clear-eyed look at AI agents: what they really are and how to put them to work in legal.

Agents are the most talked-about shift in legal AI, but it’s not always obvious what agents really are or how to get them running in your firm or legal team.

In this 45-minute session, Harvey's Head of Product Innovation, Ryan Samii, and Richard Tromans, Founder of Artificial Lawyer, host a discussion with two innovative law firm leaders with deep experience. Together, they’ll explain what an agent actually is, how to pick a first use case, what building one looks like, how human review fits in, and how to bring skeptical lawyers along.

The conversation is practical and will be useful whether or not you use Harvey, and it’s built for attorneys who want to understand agents properly before they hand over work to them.
