What the AI did
A senior associate wrote a strict AI policy and checklist, then showed staff practical uses every day. The firm used only pro versions of tools, and a solicitor checked every AI-created document before it was issued.
The result
Take-up was good, especially for document review and admin, but the source gives no figures.
Check before trusting
The solicitor quoted has since left the firm, and no numbers are given.
