Jad Abumrad to Deliver Everlaw Summit ‘25 Keynote
The Famed Podcast Creator on the Power of Better Conversations
by Justin Smith
As Everlaw Summit returns for another year, the legal profession is continuing to undergo monumental change. Whether it’s generative AI transforming how people work, the challenges of managing novel data types in ediscovery, or the role of the law in a changing world, Summit ‘25 promises to deliver a slate of content suited to the issues that matter most.
With education, connection, and inspiration at its core, there’s a reason why 97% of participants say they’ll return this year.
Summit ‘25 will offer practical sessions and opportunities that legal professionals will be able to take back to their teams, including four single-day live product certification tracks, hands-on previews of the latest Everlaw features, CLE credit, networking opportunities, and, we’re excited to announce today, a keynote address from Jad Abumrad that’s catered perfectly toward the legal audience.
