Copilot Studio offers a way to turn that complexity into clarity by building custom AI agents tailored to the unique needs of legal professionals. In this session, we explore how organizations can design, deploy, and govern role-specific Copilot experiences that streamline high-value legal workflows.

We’ll showcase real examples of what’s possible today—from intelligent legal help desks that answer policy and process questions, to contract-triage assistants, to agents that surface precedent, analyze documents, automate intake, or guide users through compliance procedures. You’ll see how Copilot Studio’s low-code tools, connectors, and orchestration capabilities help legal departments build secure, governed AI solutions that work with their existing systems and data.

If you’re looking to modernize your legal operations, accelerate response times, or empower attorneys and staff with tailored AI support, this session will spark ideas and show you exactly what Copilot Studio can make real.

As legal teams adopt Microsoft Copilot, IT leaders face a new operational frontier, one where AI behavior, data governance, user expectations, and evolving Microsoft updates all converge. This session equips legal IT professionals with a grounded, practical understanding of how to monitor, manage, and troubleshoot Copilot in environments where precision and compliance matter most. We’ll clarify what you can control,and what you can’t. You’ll learn how Copilot’s behavior is influenced by Microsoft’s service layers, update channels, and roadmap cycles, and what legal IT teams should do to stay aligned with changes as they roll out. From there, we’ll dive into the heart of day-to-day operations:

How Copilot interprets legal workflows and why it behaves the way it does
Monitoring tools and telemetry available to legal-focused IT teams
Approaches to troubleshooting unexpected or incorrect Copilot outputs, including root cause analysis across data access, grounding, connectors, and tenant configuration
Legal-grade risk mitigation strategies and guardrails to reduce exposure while accelerating productivity
Ongoing governance practices that ensure safe, predictable Copilot performance over time

If your legal organization is scaling Copilot, or preparing to, this session provides the operational playbook to keep your AI aligned, accountable, and ready for the rigorous demands of legal work.
