Lauren Leipold to Speak on WIPR Insights Webinar Examining AI's Impact on Legal Collaboration

Seyfarth Partner Lauren Leipold will speak on WIPR Insights' upcoming webinar, In-House and Outside Counsel Relationships in the AI Era: Rethinking Evaluation and Collaboration, taking place on July 23, 2026. The program will bring together corporate intellectual property leaders, law firm practitioners, and legal technology innovators to discuss how artificial intelligence is reshaping the relationship between in-house legal departments and outside counsel.

As organizations increasingly incorporate AI into legal workflows, expectations around efficiency, value, transparency, and accountability continue to evolve. During the webinar, panelists will explore how corporate legal teams are evaluating outside counsel in the AI era, the governance and ethical considerations associated with AI-assisted legal work, and practical strategies for building trusted, collaborative client relationships.

Lauren will be joined by Ann Palma, Head of IP at Saint-Gobain; Maya Kanter Varfman, Head of IP at AmDocs; and Chris Parsonson, CEO and Founder of Solve Intelligence.
