[00:00:00] Speaker 1: What are legal professionals really using AI for? Every day, they're using it to draft client correspondence, brainstorm, summarize documents, and even handle research. And the results are real. 65% of those using AI save 1-5 hours a week. Another 12% save 6-10 hours. And 7% save 11 hours or more. That's not just time saved. It's time you can reinvest in strategy, client relationships, and growing your practice. So what's holding firms back? For many, it's questions about trust, security, and fit. In fact, 43% of firms that have adopted AI said they did it because it was integrated into legal software they already trusted. When AI works inside of the solutions that you're already using, like my case, adoptions feel natural and the payoff is immediate. The only real question is, are you ready to start getting time back?
