Listen to Akin’s shift from AI experimentation to firmwide adoption, featuring Jeff Westcott with Akin and NetDocuments’ Heath Harris. Akin began its journey by testing many AI tools, then focused on practical platforms such as NetDocuments AI to unlock value from its large document repository. The speakers emphasize embedding AI where lawyers already work, especially in the document management system to reduce friction and improve searchability. Key themes include trust, governance, client sensitivity, and internal buy-in.
