## Resource

Recorded live from Legalweek , David Cowen sits down with Patrick Forquer , the CRO of Legora, to unpack what happens after the AI experimentation phase ends. The legal industry is shifting from curiosity to proof, where firms and corporate teams are demanding measurable ROI, faster workflows, and real business impact. The big takeaway: the real AI dividend isn't just saving time - it's accelerating work, improving outcomes, and unlocking revenue that used to sit trapped inside slow legal processes. Hosted by David Cowen Key Topics Covered Why legal AI has moved from experimentation to social proof , with firms now demanding measurable ROI instead of demos and hype The three layers of the AI dividend : saving time and cost, increasing the quantity and quality of work, and ultimately generating new revenue How faster contract cycles can unlock enterprise value by accelerating revenue rather than just reducing legal spend Why the smartest buyers cut through market noise and choose AI tools based on workflow fit and adoption readiness The new implementation reality: AI success requires post-sale enablement, legal engineers, and real operational change Why AI adoption is now a cross-functional decision involving leadership, innovation teams, knowledge management, and practitioners The talent shift underway as firms look for professionals who can bridge legal expertise with AI-driven execution 🎧 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
