Masters AI Legal Brings the Series to New York Law School as Big Law Resets Around AI

Bar association policy, Big Law implementation strategy and the enterprise legal teams deploying AI at scale converge at New York Law School on July 22

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As generative and agentic AI move into daily legal practice, Masters AI Legal, a division of The Masters Conference, will host its New York conference on July 22 at New York Law School. The New York stop brings together practicing attorneys, in-house legal teams and law firm leaders working through AI adoption at a moment when the profession is being reshaped by the technology.

The industry signals driving the program have arrived faster in the last 90 days than in the three years prior. Kirkland & Ellis committed $500 million to build a proprietary AI platform. Harvey crossed an $11 billion valuation. Anthropic deployed Claude for Legal with 20-plus connectors into legal workflow software. General-purpose AI use among legal professionals climbed from 31 percent in 2025 to 69 percent in 2026, according to the 8am 2026 Legal Industry Report.

New York is the fourth stop in a national tour that launched in Charlotte in March. The audience to date has included in-house legal teams from Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase, Abbott, McDonald's and United Airlines, attorneys from major AmLaw 100 firms, as well as legal tech and service providers.

“New York is where bar association policy, Big Law implementation strategy and the enterprise legal teams deploying AI at scale all converge, and this conference is built to speak to all three,” said Cat Casey, Chief Legal AI Futurist, Masters AI and Founder of TechnoCat. “The lawyers getting fluent now are the ones who will not be scrambling in 2027. The partners making firm-wide AI decisions and the general counsel making enterprise-wide decisions will be in the same room, working through the same hard questions together."

“Hosting Masters AI Legal at our campus reflects our commitment to keeping New York Law School at the center of the conversation about AI in legal practice,” said Michael Pastor, Dean for Technology Law Programs at New York Law School. “The same discussions about ethics, governance and implementation that are reshaping law firms are also happening right now inside law schools.”

The conference covers AI adoption across legal, governance and ethics obligations under current bar guidance, implementation patterns for eDiscovery and document review and the skill development legal professionals at every career stage need to stay current.

Before the New York event, Masters AI Legal will host its Los Angeles conference on June 17, with live virtual access available to legal professionals nationwide. The virtual session offers six hours of AI-focused MCLE credit, including one hour of ethics, accredited through Masters AI Legal's partnership with ALM's CLE Center.
