FlexFest: Legal Work, Unbundled is a half-day virtual summit organized by Priori Legal, scheduled for July 29, 2026. The event aims to explore the evolving landscape of legal work, focusing on the integration of flexible talent and the impact of emerging technologies on legal service delivery. Attendees will gain insights from Priori's upcoming 2026 Flex Compensation Benchmark Report and hear practical examples from leading legal teams on incorporating flexible talent into their operations.
Key topics include the unbundling of legal work, where tasks are modularized and assigned to the most suitable resources, such as in-house counsel, AI tools, flexible legal talent, alternative legal service providers (ALSPs), or outside counsel. Discussions will also cover the development of intentional legal resourcing models, emphasizing the strategic allocation of work to optimize efficiency and effectiveness. Additionally, the summit will address the role of AI in reshaping legal operations and the future of legal pricing models.
The event will feature sessions led by industry leaders, including Ava Guo and Brendan McMurrer from AT&T, who will discuss the LegalEdge initiative, and Aaron Boersma from Ford, who will share insights on building intentional legal resourcing strategies. These sessions aim to provide attendees with practical knowledge and strategies for adapting to the changing legal landscape.
FlexFest is designed for in-house legal leaders, legal operations professionals, and independent legal practitioners seeking to understand and navigate the future of legal work. By attending, participants will gain a forward-looking perspective on industry trends and actionable strategies to prepare for upcoming changes in legal service delivery.
