Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the legal profession — from contract review and due diligence to compliance, governance, and legal reasoning itself. Tasks once handled by armies of junior associates can now be completed in minutes by AI systems. But if AI becomes capable of drafting, analyzing, negotiating, and predicting legal outcomes, what remains uniquely human in the practice of law?

Join us for a special episode of Silicon Valley Unplugged featuring Louis Lehot, partner at Foley & Lardner LLP and one of Silicon Valley’s leading corporate and venture capital attorneys. Louis has spent decades advising startups, investors, and global technology companies through periods of major technological disruption and is now at the forefront of helping clients navigate the AI era, protecting innovation, managing emerging legal risks, and positioning companies to compete in a rapidly transforming technological landscape.

From Silicon Valley venture deals to the future of legal institutions, this episode looks beyond legal technology hype and into a larger societal transition: what happens when one of society’s foundational institutions collides with artificial intelligence?
