Recorded at the Legal Geek Conference in London, this episode dives into the fast-moving world of agentic AI with Jeremy Coleman, Vice President, Legal Research & Development at ContractPodAi. Jeremy breaks down the shift from GenAI experimentation to real-world implementation, and explains why legal teams should be planning, not panicking.

In conversation with Hidde Bruinsma, Jeremy explores:

• What agentic AI really is, and why it’s not as scary as it sounds
• How agents bring more control, not less, by working within user-defined guardrails
• Why we’ve already been preparing for this through workflow automation, machine learning, and GenAI
• How legal work will shift from individual tasks to coordinated agentic systems
• Why the biggest opportunity lies in connecting departments, not replacing them
• How ContractPodAi’s platform Leah helps in-house teams build real-world agentic workflows
• Which legal tasks (e.g. real estate, regulatory prep) are ripest for automation
• Why law firms may not become tech companies, but already operate like them

Jeremy offers a clear-eyed view on what’s changing in legal tech, what will remain the same, and how to build smart AI systems that augment lawyers rather than replace them.
