Future-ready lawyers will best serve clients by integrating generative artificial intelligence (gen AI) into their legal practice. But gaining fluency — knowing how gen AI works, how to guide it, and when to push back — requires more than curiosity. It requires a roadmap.

That’s why Stradley Ronon is thrilled that we recently hosted our first gen AI hackathon in Philadelphia as part of the firm’s inaugural Stradley Labs Legal Gen AI Drivers certification program, led by Sarah Hirebet, the firm’s director of knowledge management. Developed in partnership with AI and legal database provider vLex, the program is designed to deliver an industry-leading gen AI training certification for our lawyers and legal professionals on the ethical, practical and strategic use of gen AI tools in legal practice.

During the hackathon, participants collaborated to develop and pitch gen AI-driven solutions to real-world legal challenges, focusing on workflow efficacy, client communication and optimizing client service.
