The Law in World Affairs program at the Moy nihan Institute of Global Affairs presents an in person talk with Bjarne P . Tellmann\, CEO of FjordStream Advisors and former chief legal officer at Haleon and Pearson. A leading scholar on AI’s impact on legal institution s\, he currently teaches at Yale Law School.

This talk will take p lace at the Syracuse University College of Law\, in Dineen Hall.

Ar tificial intelligence is often discussed in the legal profession as a new tool for lawyers. This talk advances a broader argument: AI will transform legal institutions primarily because it is transforming the organizations they serve.

As corporations become AI-enabled enterprises\, operat ing with greater speed\, scale\, connectivity\, and increasingly automated decision-making\, their legal departments will need to evolve in parallel \, rethinking how legal work is organized and delivered\, how knowledge an d data are used\, and how increasingly powerful AI systems are governed wh ile preserving human judgment and accountability. Those changes will\, in turn\, reshape the market for legal services\, placing pressure on traditi onal law-firm models built around leverage and human throughput while crea ting opportunities for new organizational forms\, technology platforms and alternative providers.

Drawing on research\, three decades of glob al executive experience\, and themes from his Yale Law School seminar on t he transformation of legal institutions in the age of AI\, Bjarne Tellmann will examine how this chain of institutional change may unfold and what i t means for legal leadership\, professional judgment\, governance\, compet ition and the future role of lawyers. The central question is not simply w hat AI can do\, but how legal institutions will reorganize around its capa bilities\, how they will govern those capabilities responsibly\, and what they will choose to preserve as they do.

Bjarne P. Tell mann is the former founding general gounsel of Haleon (FTSE 20) a nd chief legal officer of Pearson (FTSE 100)\, who now writes\, teaches an d advises on how artificial intelligence is reshaping legal institutions a nd the profession’s leadership.

His most recent book\, Law in the Era of AI: Clients \, Firms\, and the Future of the Legal Industry (Wiley\, 2026)\, argues that AI-driven changes in corporations and their operating models will reshape legal departments\, law firms and the wider legal services ma rket from the outside in—and that corporate clients\, rather than technolo gy vendors\, will drive the next wave of disruption. That perspective draw s on three decades of experience across law\, business and global institut ions in Europe\, Asia\, the Middle East and the United States.
