In this episode, David Cowen sits down with KPMG partner Ed Gill to unpack how AI, operating models, and contract intelligence are reshaping the business of law. The real shift isn't just new tools - it's a new mindset where lawyers move from doing the work to orchestrating humans, workflows, and AI agents.
