AI Assisted Deals: Contract Drafting, Due Diligence, and Deal Management

Steve Smith, CEO of Intelligence by Intent and AI strategy consultant, will walk transactional attorneys through the full arc of AI-assisted deal work, from early-stage contract drafting and document review to due diligence workflows and regulatory compliance checklists. Drawing on hands-on experience integrating AI into legal practice environments, Smith will cover how to evaluate and deploy AI tools across each phase of the transactional lifecycle, where the technology delivers the most meaningful efficiency gains, and what responsible use looks like when the stakes are high. Attorneys will leave with a practical framework for making AI a core part of how they structure, negotiate, and close deals . It's not just a shortcut, but a durable upgrade to their practice.
