AI is reshaping efficiency across the legal profession, but the billable hour remains stubbornly fixed. As automation reduces time spent on traditional tasks, law firms must confront a critical challenge: how to stay profitable while hours decline. 

In “Billable Hours, Zero Hustle: The BD Blind Spot in Law,” Sam Smolkin shares his journey from lawyer to entrepreneur, and how his perspective on business development evolved. Jody Glidden joins him, introducing a practical framework for Business Development with next-generation Proactive Relationship Management (PRM) capabilities that empowers lawyers to think like founders and act like rainmakers. They explore how generative AI is turning business development into a tech-enabled superpower, equipping lawyers with tools to thrive in this era. 

Join experienced M&A attorney, turned successfully exited tech entrepreneur and Litera Strategic Advisor, Haley Altman, as she helps legal tech companies understand how to pass each level of more difficult questions strategic and financial buyers want answered before they are willing to make the big payout. In this session, “Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Understanding the metrics companies need to lock in to get a deal done and take home the coveted prize,” Haley will help you frame responses to those key questions so you can say "this is my Final Answer." 

In the live, fast-paced pitch, “The Only AI Agent That Started with 30 Years of Legal Experience,” Josephine Kenny demos Lito, a game-changing new AI legal agent and virtual team member spanning both the practice and business of law. More than just an “AI wrapper,” Lito is embedded within the Litera One ecosystem, learning from your intent to deliver results with speed, precision, and legal-grade security.
