Hack Your Legal Costs: AI + Your Attorney in 2026
by Alex Frescoln and Todd Taylor | at Minnebar20 | 11:35 β 12:15 in Learn | View Schedule
Founders are already using ChatGPT, Grok, Claude and other AI to draft contracts, review investor terms, and do legal research. Some of that's great, and some of it's going to cost you your company when it blows up.
This session is a practical walkthrough of how to use AI and your lawyer together to get quality legal work done faster and cheaper. We'll look at live examples: AI drafting a SAFE (what it nails, what it hallucinates), AI reviewing a contractor agreement (what it catches, what it misses), and AI "doing legal research" (when it's useful, when it's confidently making things up).
You'll leave knowing:
- How to use AI output to make your lawyer faster and your bill smaller
- The mistakes AI makes about startup legal work that could actually sink your company
- Confidentiality risks with AI
- What an AI-forward law firm looks like in practice, and why it matters for your budget
This isn't a talk about AI replacing lawyers. It's about founders being smarter about how they use both. Bring your laptop.
Presenters: Todd Taylor and Alex Frescoln, Avisen Legal β startup and business lawyers with an AI-forward practice serving founders, funders, and growth companies.
