Future of Law Firms
AI Agents

2031 - The law firm in 5 years time

It's 2031 - AI has changed the legal practice and the legal market completely in the last 5 years. AI-driven legal ecosystems form the backbone of platform-based legal services; AI-agents no longer just assist lawyers, they run entire legal processes autonomously; and the rise of AI-native law firms has eroded the traditional law firm model. Yet AI is not the end of lawyers - the demand for human judgment, trust and guidance has changed but not diminished.

Hosted by:

Douwe Groenevelt

COO EUCLYD, former head of legal ASM

Atle Carlsen

Managing Partner Braekhus, former strategy consultant and global HR leader at BCG

Matthias Lichtblau

Executive education at Bucerius Law School; former executive partner at CMS International and WTS, and COO Dentons

Knut-Magnar Aanestad

LATAM

Beyond the hype: What nordic law firms learned adopting AI, and what it means for latin America

The Nordic legal market has been one of the earliest adopters of AI in legal practice. Some initiatives transformed how firms work. Others quietly failed. Both hold valuable lessons.

In this informal, candid session, we share what we have seen first-hand: where AI creates real value for lawyers and clients, where it does not (yet), and what separates the firms that succeed from those that stall. We then turn the conversation to Latin America. What is different about the region's legal markets? What do clients expect? How are firms from Mexico City to São Paulo approaching the same questions?

Hosted by:

Borgar Dahle

Leads Saga's commercial activities in the Nordics and Mexico and heads its expansion into Latin America, working with Miguel Desentis in Mexico City to build partnerships across the Mexican legal market as a gateway to the wider region.

Knut-Magnar Aanestad

Co-founder and Chief Product Officer at Saga, leading the development of the company's product, drawing on years in key roles across legal organisations and law firm management teams, where he led firms through change, digitalisation and modernisation.

Miguel Desentis

Leads Saga's commercial and product activities in Mexico and Latin America, drawing on experience at Paul Hastings, Creel García-Cuéllar, BlackRock and Ericsson, where he was Senior Counsel for the Americas, as well as leading legal and compliance at the fintechs Higo and Jeeves.

Run & dip

Hosted with Beyond Billable Hours, Copenhagen Legal Tech, and Laura Greenberg

Join Saga and some of the most influential names in legal tech for a 5km social-pace run through Copenhagen's Nordhavn neighbourhood. After the run we'll cool off with a swim in the harbour, then head to a local bakery for breakfast, fresh pastries and good conversation. It's an easy, energising way to connect with peers before the IBA sessions begin.
