When legal meets AI: Navigating eDiscovery, Privilege, and AI-Assisted review in the modern enterprise

Artificial intelligence is transforming legal discovery — and creating security and governance risks that most organisations are wholly unprepared for. When AI tools touch legally privileged communications, when large language models are used to review sensitive regulatory documents, when eDiscovery platforms begin automating decisions that once required a qualified lawyer — who is accountable? And what controls should security teams be insisting on?

Jackie Orchard is uniquely placed to answer these questions. Recognised as Australia's only Relativity AI Visionary and the architect of Australia's first comprehensive internal eDiscovery capability, Jackie brings a rare cross-disciplinary perspective that bridges information security, legal operations, AI governance, and data classification. 

In this session she will share the strategic and operational framework she has developed to manage the intersection of AI capability and legal professional privilege — drawing on direct enterprise implementation experience in a large, regulated environment.

This is not a session about any particular eDiscovery platform. It is about the governance structures, data controls, privilege protection frameworks, and risk postures that security professionals need to understand — and often own — when AI enters the legal discovery workflow.
