Leading Legal Through the Age of Agentic AI

In our latest webinar, PERSUIT Founder & CEO Jim Delkousis sat down with Bayer General Counsel Thomas Lauber and PwC Partner Lewis Brett to explore how AI is transforming legal leadership. Their insights were clear: expectations for Fortune 1000 legal teams are shifting faster than ever.

General Counsels are no longer evaluated only on risk mitigation. Today’s CEOs and CFOs expect legal to operationalize data, accelerate business decisions, and contribute directly to enterprise value. AI is unlocking that shift — enabling in-house teams to do more sophisticated work internally and approach outside counsel with greater clarity and leverage.

The panel also revealed a major trend reshaping the legal marketplace: data is becoming the new currency. As AI empowers teams to perform more work themselves, law firms will increasingly be valued not for their workflows, but for the proprietary insight and expertise their data can deliver.

Perhaps most importantly, the GC of the future must lead differently. Curiosity, communication, coaching, and comfort with technology will define the next generation of legal leadership.
