080. AI for Legal Workflows: The Potential and the Pitfalls

AI tools in legal workflows are making waves, but are they really the productivity boosters they’re cracked up to be? While these tools can help speed up certain tasks, like research and drafting, they can also introduce significant risks if we’re not careful.

In this episode, I dive into the promise and pitfalls of AI task engines and automation tools in law practices. I'll also explain why more working time doesn’t always mean faster delivery, and how managing both working and waiting time is key to improving your firm’s overall efficiency. By the end, you’ll have a clearer understanding of how AI tools can be used effectively in your practice to optimize your firm’s overall process.
