_Background
Kirkland & Ellis has spent $500 million building an AI platform with Palantir. It's a structured model of the firm's own funds, investors, side letters and clause positions, an ontology that gets more useful every time a matter runs through it. Most law firms have bought a point solution this year. None has built what Kirkland has. This session covers what an ontology actually is, why it compounds in a way a licensed tool never will, and what it would take to build one at your firm.

Agenda
Agenda
1. The ceiling every firm is hitting
Off-the-shelf legal AI is trained on public material. We look at why that caps its value for the work that actually defines a specialist practice.
2. Why Kirkland & Ellis got this right
Inside the $500 million Palantir partnership: what it actually builds, and why calling it an AI platform undersells it.
3. Where we think every law firm needs to move
Our view on the path from point solution to owned infrastructure, and what has to change first to get there.
4. Live demo: building an ontology on Palantir
A working example of matter and client data becoming structure, reasoned over by an agentic layer.
5. Q&A
Bring your questions on confidentiality, cost, timelines, or where to start.
