From AI Hype to Enterprise Reality: Where Legal Innovation Is Actually Heading | Legal Soundings EP4

Three years into the generative AI revolution, is legal tech actually delivering—or is it still just hype? In this episode, two of the most respected legal tech journalists, Bob Ambrogi (LawSites) and Stephanie Wilkins (LegalTech Hub), join host Zena Applebaum for a frank conversation about what’s really changing in law firms and legal departments. They cover everything from back-office AI wins to the future of the billable hour, why the Clio/VLex merger signals a new era of consolidation, and the one technology trend (MCP) that most legal leaders are completely overlooking.
