Part 2: 2026 Legal Skill: Thinking in Workflows

Many legal teams have started using AI but most have hit a plateau.

If AI is mainly helping you copy, paste, summarize, or draft one-off answers, you’re not alone. Those wins save time, but they don’t change how legal work actually gets done.

This session is about thinking differently about legal work in an AI-enabled world. Rather than focusing on tools or prompts, we’ll look at how legal work already operates as a system and what happens when AI enters that system.I

n this session, we’ll explore:

1. why legal work is already workflow-driven, even if we don’t treat it that way
2. Where AI exposes broken or inefficient processes
3. The six core legal workflows that show up across teams and matters
4. How shifting from tasks to workflows unlocks real impact

This webinar is not about tools.

It’s not about prompting. It’s about learning to see legal work as a set of workflows and understanding how that changes everything.

This is Part 2 of 3 in the Building Legal Workflows series.

Part 1 (Prompting) is available on-demand at the Wordsmith Academy.

Part 3 (Building Workflows) is on January 28th.
