Guidelines for Law Firms
Back in September at the Mackrell International Legal Network conference in Sofia, Bulgaria, I shared guidelines for AI adoption and integration among the member firms. It sparked some really excellent questions and business discussions. From that experience and the great feedback, I want to make a short post to share an updated version of the suggested guidelines and this summary of the seventeen steps for law firms looking to accelerate their AI process.
