What truly stood out to me at ILTACON was the energy and enthusiasm of the event. I was struck by how the collaborative atmosphere among attendees 鈥� ranging from seasoned legal professionals to tech enthusiasts 鈥� created an enriching environment for knowledge exchange and networking.

The insightful sessions on cybersecurity, data privacy, and the future of legal tech trends provided valuable takeaways that are likely to shape the industry in the coming years. Overall, the conference underscored the rapid advancements and the pivotal role of technology in transforming the legal landscape.

CIO insights

I moderated a among G100 and G200 CIOs. The CIOs discussed the evolving role of the document management system, the opportunity for generative AI to drive efficiency improvements now and in the future, the evolving expectations of corporate law departments, and data security practices.

Audience attendees seemed especially interested in the tenor of the conversation around transformative AI solutions. One of the CIOs said that his firm was using CoCounsel as its AI assistant and that lawyers at the firm were eager adopters. He mentioned wanting to buy more seats. That was a fun moment for me!

CoCounsel 2.0

We hosted a number of extremely well-attended events, including customer dinners, an appreciation event, and other celebrations. The opportunity to share perspectives and learn from law firms was invaluable.

I was thrilled to see that the announcement of CoCounsel 2.0 seemed to generate the most excitement among product news. Jake Heller, head of Product for CoCounsel, 成人VR视频, showcased a side-by-side view on the speed of the application, highlighting how CoCounsel 2.0 moves more than 3 times faster than the current version CoCounsel Core. After customers saw that, they were clamoring for access.

On a personal level, I enjoyed seeing so many former colleagues and peers. The legal community is a tight-knit group. It was amazing to walk the halls of the conference centers and catch up with so many great people.

鈥淚t seems like just last year we were talking about CoCounsel 1.0, the generative AI product launched by Casetext and then swiftly acquired by 成人VR视频,鈥� Joe Patrice said in . 鈥淭hat鈥檚 because it was just last year. Since then, 成人VR视频 has worked to marry Casetext鈥檚 tool with TR鈥檚 treasure trove of data.鈥�

Patrice noted CoCounsel 2.0 draws on 鈥渢he experience gained over the last year and a m茅lange of multiple LLMs under the hood鈥� and includes Claims Explorer 鈥� an AI skill in Westlaw Precision 鈥� plus CoCounsel Drafting.

Richard Tromans David Wong, chief product officer, 成人VR视频, made during his ILTACON presentation on CoCounsel 2.0 about the strength of 成人VR视频 data.

鈥淒avid Wong, CPO, said that 鈥榯his is the most meaningful work I have done at 成人VR视频,鈥欌�� Tromans noted. 鈥淗e then stressed the fact that they have all the three main food groups when it comes to AI tool development:聽鈥榃e have the data, the expertise, and the tech. Few have all three in such quantity and depth.鈥� And that鈥檚 a key point. If you look at some of the challengers out there, there are few that have all of that lovely, rich data.鈥�

Tromans added. 鈥溾�� Wong is right, having genAI skills and having a smart team is great, but a ton of authoritative legal data is the cherry on the cake if you want to offer a really broad genAI platform.鈥�

A shift in the legal industry’s approach to technology

What stood out to me at ILTACON was the momentum behind the adoption of generative AI across the legal industry. It was striking to see how many law firms, regardless of size, have already integrated generative AI into their practices.

My personal highlight at ILTACON was participating in a panel discussion on the application of generative AI in legal practice. We received thoughtful and insightful questions from the audience, reflecting a deep interest in maximizing the potential of generative AI.

During the panel, we conducted a quick audience survey, and nearly every attendee indicated that their firm was already using generative AI. This widespread adoption reflects a significant shift in the legal industry’s approach to technology, signaling that generative AI is already playing a pivotal role in shaping legal practice.

The primary focus of interest in my panel was on the practicalities of implementing generative AI solutions within law firms. Attendees seemed particularly interested to learn about best practices for conducting a successful proof-of-concept, including strategies for testing the accuracy and reliability of generative AI software.

Attendees also seemed interested in understanding how to effectively measure ROI from adopting generative AI. The focus was not on whether law firms should adopt generative AI, but rather how to adopt this technology and derive the most value.

From skepticism to enthusiasm

One of the most surprising and encouraging moments at ILTACON was seeing the shift in attitudes toward generative AI. Where there was once skepticism and anxiety, I now see a growing acceptance and even enthusiasm.

The concerns that previously dominated discussions 鈥� like the potential impact on the billable hour 鈥� seem to have softened. Instead, there’s a growing recognition that generative AI is not just a disruptive force but a transformative tool that can enhance legal practice.

Many attendees expressed optimism that generative AI will ultimately expand the reach of legal services, enabling more people to engage with the legal system, pursue legal claims, and explore innovative legal strategies.
