“Part is keeping up with the Joneses, part of it is marketing, and part of it is just getting over the adoption challenges,” he continued. “In eDiscovery, before the advent of genAI, you needed some training to know how to interact with discovery database.

Law firms and corporate legal departments are adopting genAI for a myriad of purposes, ranging from document discovery and analysis to contract lifecycle management. GenAI can be used to categorize and summarize documents, draft new ones, and generate client communications.
