TAMPA, Fla., July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- IntelAgree, a leading AI-powered contract lifecycle management (CLM) platform, today announced an upcoming CLE-accredited webinar, "AI in Contract Management: Legal Risks, Ethical Duties, and Practical Guidance," on Monday, July 27, 2026, at 11 a.m. EST. Hosted by the National Academy of Continuing Legal Education (NACLE), the webinar will examine how attorneys can use AI-powered tools responsibly in contract work.

The virtual event will feature three speakers. Lee Rone, General Counsel of IntelAgree, will cover the ethical duties AI raises in contract work and the regulatory shifts heading toward legal teams. Marlon Abbott, Director of Information Security at IntelAgree, will discuss how to evaluate AI vendors and apply security standards like SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001. They will be joined by guest speaker Stanislav Zakharenko, a principal at GTC Law Group who advises companies on AI governance and responsible AI programs.

"The job doesn't change because the tool is new," said Lee Rone, General Counsel of IntelAgree. "An attorney still answers for the work product and the confidential data, even when a model they didn't build produced it. This session is about drawing those lines so teams can adopt AI without losing track of who owns the risk."

During the webinar, the three featured speakers will cover the duties, policies, and standards that govern AI use in contract work. Attendees will learn how to:

• Distinguish generative from agentic AI and match oversight to each, from reviewing a single draft to governing a system that acts on its own
• Map AI use to the specific ABA Model Rules it implicates, including competence, confidentiality, and the duty to supervise AI as nonlawyer assistance
• Hold AI vendors accountable for client data with concrete contractual terms like model-training prohibitions, sub-processor disclosure, and audit rights
• Use SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, and NIST to evaluate AI-enabled tools, and read vendor claims like "AI-ready" and "AI-compliant" critically
• Stand up a governance routine that keeps pace with quarterly reviews, annual vendor re-evaluation, and human review of AI output treated as non-negotiable

"Most confidentiality risk now lives in tools legal teams already trust," said Marlon Abbott, Director of Information Security at IntelAgree. "The harder questions are whether your client's data is training a model, who the sub-processors are, and how you'd even know. We'll cover what to add to a vendor review and what to insist on in the contract."

As legal teams lean more on AI to draft, redline, and summarize, the duty to oversee it intensifies. The problem is, AI is a moving target.

"AI moves faster than any policy written to govern it," said Zakharenko. "The framework you approved last quarter may already be behind the technology. The teams that stay ahead treat governance as a living process, not a one-time deliverable.
