As the legal industry grapples with the rapid integration of generative AI, a dynamic conversation recorded live at the Everlaw Summit in San Francisco delves into the transformation of litigation workflows. Hosted by Bob Ambrogi for his LawNext podcast, the panel featured insights from key industry figures on the practicalities and implications of AI adoption in legal contexts.
Participants in the discussion included Adam Borgman, a senior associate at Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease, and Julie Brown, director of practice technology at Vorys, along with Joshua Schnoll, Everlaw’s chief marketing officer. They explored how Vorys is approaching AI integration by first meticulously mapping out existing workflows, underscoring the importance of understanding current practices before introducing new technological solutions.
The panelists shared insights on Everlaw’s newly launched Deep Dive tool, a platform designed to uncover patterns and insights within vast document collections, highlighting its potential to reveal information otherwise missed—a benefit humorously illustrated with an anecdote involving Tums.
Economic considerations and trust issues were also a major theme, with the panel addressing the costs associated with AI tools and lawyers’ hesitations regarding AI reliability. The session also included advice for firms still hesitant to embrace generative AI despite the burgeoning urgency to do so.
