Building Intelligent Workspaces That Empower Legal Teams in the Age of AI

Gabriela Ivancu is Founder & Legal Engineer focused on AI Workspaces for Legal Teams. A seasoned international lawyer and entrepreneur, she designs practical AI-powered environments that help legal professionals manage complexity, reduce risk, and scale governance without sacrificing control or accountability.

Drawing on experience leading legal structuring for sovereign digital infrastructure, identity systems, and cloud projects at Thales (including cross-border deployments across Europe, Africa, and Asia), Gabriela brings deep insight into high-stakes technology contracts and regulatory frameworks. She mentors on AI governance, risk, and trust, emphasizing scalable processes over reactive fixes, and advocates for human-in-the-loop oversight aligned with emerging regulations such as the EU AI Act. At UN Blockchain Week she shares how legal teams can adopt AI workspaces that enhance — rather than replace — professional judgment while building resilient, future-ready practices.
