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. White brings a unique perspective shaped by her career across global supply chain operations, internal audit and compliance, legal operations, and alternative legal service providers. She explains how her audit background shaped her risk-based approach to legal operations and why understanding the business end-to-end is becoming increasingly important for legal professionals. The conversation explores AI as a potential junior-level resource for low-complexity, high-volume legal work, the shift from legal operations execution to workflow orchestration, the role of AI in contract analysis and risk identification, and the importance of closing the loop between contract insights and future workflows. White also explains why legal teams need to establish clear guardrails around AI and determine where human judgment must remain central. For legal operations leaders, general counsel, in-house legal teams, and professionals navigating AI adoption, this conversation offers a practical look at how legal technology, workflow automation, AI governance, and business strategy are coming together.
