What happens when AI moves beyond individual legal tasks and starts changing how an entire legal department operates? In this episode of Meeting of the Minds – The Legal AI Podcast, hosts Hal Marcus and Memme Onwudiwe sit down with Monique White, Vice President and Head of Legal Operations at Link Logistics, to explore the rapid evolution of legal AI and what it means for legal teams, legal operations professionals, and business leaders.
