The Year We Lived in the Spotlight of GenAI
Over the past year, AI has made its way into daily legal workflows, redefining the way corporate legal departments and outside counsel approach everything from research to review. In this white paper, Caragh Landry, Chief Legal Process Officer at TCDI, reflects on the real-world evolution of Generative AI (GenAI) in the legal industry and what it means for the future of legal services.
This overview examines how GenAI has shifted from ideas to implementation and what eDiscovery professionals need to consider as the technology continues to advance.
In this white paper, you’ll learn:
- How corporate legal teams and outside counsel are using GenAI to reduce costs, streamline workflows, and improve decision-making
- The most promising applications of GenAI across contract lifecycle management, litigation strategy, compliance, and legal research
- Why the collaboration between human expertise and machine intelligence is proving to be the most productive model
- Reflections on early lessons learned and the shared responsibility of eDiscovery teams to ensure thoughtful AI adoption
- Why defensible implementation depends on collaboration, transparency, and a willingness to adapt existing legal processes
