Onit Podcast

The legal industry has seen significant changes in recent years – changes that predate the pandemic and have intensified as a result. Legal professionals are thinking differently about the business of law, focusing on new models for driving efficiency and effectiveness.

Even as compared to just two years ago, change is happening faster than ever, and on far more sophisticated levels for corporate legal departments and legal operations. While the pandemic certainly accelerated things, these changes were already in progress long before the pandemic hit.

Brad Rogers, Senior Vice President of Strategy & Growth for Onit and a former legal operations leader in a Fortune 100 company, sits down with us to discuss the four items fueling changes, including technology, the rise of legal operations, the replacement cost revolution and business model innovation and how corporate legal departments can leverage them to enhance efficiency, save money and spare in-house counsel from time-consuming, low-value work.

In the first part of this blog and podcast series, Eric outlined what AI is at its foundation. In part two, he tackled how AI is already powering legal departments today.

Now, Eric is back for the third and final segment of his AI series, which covers the combination of legal AI and automation. With the many different types of legal automation and AI assistance available today, he provides some crucial points to consider for automation and AI's role in it.

But for many legal professionals, there may be a lack of clarity around what artificial intelligence is and how it impacts corporate legal departments. In other words: what makes AI … AI? In this podcast, we sit down with Onit's vice president of product management to discuss this idea and how you can identify artificial intelligence.
