Quotes:
‘It's hard for me to think of a legal workflow or a legal task that is not aided by AI. I think, in some ways, the practice of law is the paradigm information is, you know, you're just talking about things and facts and you go and you push a paper somewhere and something happens and you try to convince people the words on the paper and this is information work at its finest.”

“I think anybody who says that the whole pie is not gonna get smaller. I can't follow that. You know? I think it is getting smaller. It's going to change things. And just like technology assisted review changed things before. So, yeah, there are real consequences. Do I think it's gonna happen? No doubt.”

"In measuring the success or failure of a tool, I think it's a very nuanced thing. The first and foremost question is: Is this delivering value to the client? In some ways, that's the only metric that matters. If it's a yes, if it's positive, then we should use it."

"The more we can guide people toward principles and systems and ways of thinking about adoption based on strategy, the better. We need to build in an expectation that the tool is going to change because capabilities are rapidly changing. The more we can push toward thinking about systems, thinking about standards rather than rules, those are the ways we should be thinking about things as organizations."
