402 - The Tech-Enabled Contract Team: A Practical Blueprint for Delivering Results Every Day

Get beyond promises of a better tomorrow and learn how to deliver a better today. In this down-to-earth session, Allison DiBona, Associate Director of Contracts and Legal Ops at Alkermes, will share practical steps to achieve greater efficiency, higher quality, and stronger partnerships—based on her own journey into legal automation.

Using Allison’s experience as a springboard, we’ll alternate between brief insights and roundtable discussions focused on four key areas:

•Getting contracting out of email chaos and into manageable structure
•Engaging business partners to take control of processes and improve their own experiences
•Building self-service programs that solve real problems (not create new ones)
•Using AI for the things it’s good for—right now
•From immediate wins to hard-won lessons, we’ll separate hype from reality and leave with a practical blueprint for how forward-looking GCs and Legal Ops teams can drive meaningful legal optimization today.
