What do entity records, litigation strategy, client onboarding, partner growth and abandoned AI pilots have in common? They are all becoming part of a much bigger rethink of how legal work gets done.

LegalTech Diaries Volume 17 brings together 11 leaders looking at that rethink from very different corners of the industry. Their conversations span the unglamorous infrastructure that keeps legal organisations running, the products lawyers actually choose to use and the new ways AI is changing how firms compete, serve clients and make decisions.

There is plenty of ambition in this edition, but also healthy scepticism. We hear why a 95% accurate AI answer may still create more work, why prototypes can die after an impressive demo, why governance should enable adoption rather than smother it and why buying another platform is not the same as having a strategy.

The edition also looks further ahead. As AI takes on more drafting, review, research and operational work, firms are being forced to think differently about training, accountability, differentiation and even where their commercial advantage comes from.

Featuring perspectives from MinuteBox, Silks, Vesence, Mage Legal, Kuberno, Purple, Lumio, Kroll, OurFirm.ai, A&O Shearman and Factor.Law, Volume 17 is a wide-ranging look at the people building, buying and rethinking LegalTech from the inside.

Happy reading!
