From Prompts to Playbooks: Turning Your Best Lawyers' Judgment into AI Workflows

Most law firms have bought the AI tools; far fewer have turned them into repeatable process efficiency. Jackson Walker Chief Innovation Officer Greg Lambert shares the firm's working method: extract an experienced partner's patterns from their own executed matters and redlines, encode them into AI playbooks and workflows, test against live deals, and scale across the firm. He'll walk through real results, including hundreds of easement document reviews delivered in 72 hours that captured hundreds of thousands in new work, a 49-rule loan agreement playbook built from one partner's redline history, and an AI-plus-DMS workflow that is quietly retiring the firm-wide "does anyone know..." email. The talk covers what makes it work underneath: governance, cost discipline, and measuring outcomes in dollars rather than self-reported minutes saved. Attendees leave with a concrete, replicable model for moving from individual prompting to firm-wide process.
