  • Technically Legal - Why Effective Legal Ops Management is Good

    Love this episode with Steph and Liz! I like how it's mentioned that it’s not always the answer to just throw tech into an existing business process!

  • Love this podcast- a must for any legal tech

    Stumbled upon this podcast and it is a treasure. As a KM manager at a firm, previous law librarian, this podcast is engaging, relevant, and makes me nod my head while also giving me perspective on what is going on in the legal realm outside my organization. Def worth listening to if you have any sort of interest in legal tech!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Best of TL: Legal's Moment to Move Beyond AI Experimentation (Sabastian Niles, President & CLO Salesforce)
Q: How can law firms pass savings to clients while growing their business at the same time?
By leveraging AI to deliver faster, more accurate outcomes and new value-based pricing models, firms can share the gains with clients and reframe pricing around outcomes and risk-sharing rather than time-based billing.
Best of TL: Legal's Moment to Move Beyond AI Experimentation (Sabastian Niles, President & CLO Salesforce)
Q: Can you describe the four systems you outlined (engagement, agency, work, context) and how they change delivery?
Engagement replaces fragmented tools with a unified interface; Agency provides an ethically governed AI framework; Work integrates professional applications into cohesive workflows; Context creates a secure single source of client data to ground strategic counsel and preserve privilege.
Best of TL: Legal's Moment to Move Beyond AI Experimentation (Sabastian Niles, President & CLO Salesforce)
Q: What do you mean by the 'age of the pilot' being over, and what should firms do differently now?
Firms should move beyond dabbling and pilots to adopt integrated, enterprise-scale AI—embedding agentic capabilities into daily workflows, governance, and client service, with a focus on leadership, culture, and a unified tech platform.
On AI Evals, TAR vs. LLMs and What Will be Different Next Year - Aron Ahmadia (VP Applied Science, Relativity)
Q: Tell me what's a day in the life like for the Relativity Vice President of Applied Science?
Aday involves coordinating a global Applied Science team, staying abreast of overnight developments, and aligning with ongoing customer work, with a balance between staying hands-on and managing a fast-moving, large-scale operation.
Moving Beyond the Billable Hour: Pricing Legal Work in the AI Age (Emily Logan Stedman - Husch Blackwell)
Q: What led you to start thinking about AFAs for litigation and how did you propose it at your firm?
Emily explains that Husch Blackwell has been progressive about AFAs, and she spent substantial time upfront mapping out pricing via AI-assisted analysis, aligning fees with value, and presenting a quarterly revisit plan to senior leadership. She prepared a detailed pitch with engagement letter language and a phased pricing model.
