Briefly

Recent legal tech shows reveal a shift in focus from hypothetical AI advancements to tangible, specific use cases of generative AI. As seen during this year's Legalweek, vendors emphasized real-world applications, showing how firms are integrating AI into workflows. Notably, experiences from Boies Schiller and DISCO indicate that generative AI is improving legal assessments and strategies. This transformation signals a notable turning point in the legal profession's acceptance and utilization of technological advancements, prompting a more proactive approach to leveraging AI.
