Sri Daita, Director of Legal Operations Technology at PayPal, joins show host CJ Saretto, Axiom's CTO, for a deep dive into how PayPal's legal ops team is accelerating driving a comprehensive AI transformation across four major workstreams: contracting, e-billing, matter management, and advice workflows.

Early successes include enabling the business to use AI-suggested contract redlines for low-risk agreements without legal touch. Attorneys can now compress weeks of regulatory analysis into minutes. Invoices can get holistic reviews across law firm, ALSP, and other provider relationships. Matters can have automated summaries, while litigation leaders can get answers to case status questions using natural language. Oh, and the legal budget and spend can be tracked in real-time. And that's just for starters.

Listen in to learn how PayPal's in-house team is getting its arms around legal AI fast, speeding deployments, generating team enthusiasm, and reaping impressive results in the process through quick wins and strategic pilot scaling.
