What does “AI in Legal” actually look like in day‑to‑day work?

Here's a short demo I recently presented at the ABN AMRO Legal Conference of how I use Microsoft Copilot inside a real legal workflow — not as a gimmick, but as a genuine productivity and quality booster. This shows how Microsoft Copilot's Researcher Agent changes regulatory horizon scanning or assessment of regulation workflows. This used to mean weeks of work — cross-referencing legislative trackers, assessment of regulation, deep analyses of clauses, drafting a memo from scratch. In this short demo, you'll see how Microsoft Copilot's Researcher Agent changes that workflow entirely. The scenario: Regulatory expert tasked with scanning the proposed EU Cybersecurity Act 2.0 and producing a briefing memo to take to the business and CISO. Watch how the agent goes wide across multiple authoritative sources simultaneously, considers overlap in Dutch regulation, and produces a structured, fully cited memo — in minutes. The legal judgment (ensuring the output is authoritative, traceable, and accountable) continues to sit with the legal professional. The economics of producing the foundation just changed completely.

The big takeaway:
Copilot doesn’t replace legal reasoning — it creates space for it.
If you’re curious about how AI can augment legal work (responsibly and realistically), this is a good place to start.
