Future Transact UK
Emma Legal joins Future Transact UK on 9 December in London. Hear Veerle Brusseleers discuss AI autonomy, legal accountability and the future of M&A due diligence.
AI can accelerate the deal. But who owns the judgment?
AI is transforming M&A, moving beyond document review into increasingly complex parts of the transaction lifecycle. But as automation takes on greater responsibility, important questions emerge. How do we ensure the analysis is reliable? Who remains accountable for the outcome? And how do legal teams maintain control without sacrificing speed?
These are the conversations shaping the next generation of transactional practice.
On 9 December, Emma Legal joins Future Transact UK in London to explore how firms, in-house teams and technology providers can move deal execution forward without compromising the quality of legal advice.
Join Veerle on stage: Signed, Sealed, Automated

Signed, Sealed, Automated: How Far Can AI Take the Deal?
Veerle Brusseleers, Legal Innovation Counsel M&A at Emma Legal, will join fellow industry experts to examine the practical boundaries of AI autonomy in live transactions.
The discussion will explore:
- Autonomy versus accountability: Where should AI-led execution end and mandatory lawyer sign-off begin?
- Quality assurance and defensibility: How can teams validate AI-generated diligence and redlines, and manage liability when something is missed?
- Control across the transaction: How should deal teams audit AI outputs, reconcile conflicting findings and maintain oversight across increasingly automated workflows?
An important discussion for any legal professional responsible for delivering accurate, defensible advice in high-stakes transactions.
Join us for an exclusive Emma dinner in London
Beyond the conference, we're bringing together a select group of M&A and legal professionals for an exclusive evening in London. An opportunity to continue the conversations, exchange perspectives with industry peers and build meaningful connections over great food and drinks, in a relaxed setting.
We'll kick things off with welcome drinks at 6:30 PM. Places are limited, with registrations subject to approval.
Better diligence. Stronger legal judgment.
At Emma Legal, we believe the greatest value of AI isn't simply doing the same work faster. It's raising the standard of analysis while giving lawyers more time to focus on what matters most: advising clients and moving deals forward.
Our purpose-built M&A due diligence workspace brings a firm's collective deal expertise into every review. From identifying missing information and assessing contractual risks to producing source-linked findings and client-ready reports, Emma gives legal teams greater visibility and control throughout the diligence process.
AI handles the heavy lifting. You remain in control of the legal judgment.
