FT Innovative Lawyers Global Summit

Where Legal Innovation Meets What’s Next

At the FT Innovative Lawyers summit, Factor joins legal pioneers exploring how general counsel can sustain trust and influence in a fast-evolving world. In the panel “Trust, Influence, and the Future GC,” we’ll explore how GCs can lead—not just adapt—as AI transforms the enterprise, ESG priorities shift, and the meaning of strategic value evolves.

Factor brings a practitioner’s lens to this conversation, grounded in our work with some of the world’s most complex organizations. We help legal teams “transform while doing”—embedding innovation in day-to-day operations through powerful, human-centered solutions like:

  • SenseDesk: An AI-powered co-working environment that accelerates complex contract review and negotiation.
  • Answers: A contract intelligence engine that delivers actionable insights in days, not months.
  • Sensemaker Academy & Sense Collective: Targeted enablement programs that upskill legal teams and build long-term GenAI fluency.

Let’s connect onsite to talk about how your legal team can turn influence into impact—and drive measurable results with scalable, responsible innovation.

Trust, Influence, and the Future GC:
A Conversation Legal Leaders Can’t Miss

1:30pm - 2:20pm BST

As data-sharing and unified access accelerate across enterprises, the office of the general counsel finds itself at a crossroads. Once siloed, GCs are now embedded in the flow of strategic decision-making — a shift solidified during a decade defined by ESG, DE&I, and ethics-driven business. But with shifting political climates deprioritizing some of those agendas, how can GCs maintain their influence?

This panel explores how trust is the GC’s true currency in an era of rapid technological change. From guiding responsible GenAI adoption to setting the tone on governance in a post-ESG world, today’s GC must balance risk, ethics, and strategic value to remain essential. What new tools and mindsets are needed? And how do GCs lead with influence when influence itself is being redefined?
