Legal Invoice Review, AI and Sighs of Relief From In-House Counsel Sep 14, 2021

Show notes

Legal invoice review often invokes dread and frustration from in-house counsel. After all, which busy lawyer wants to set aside interesting work to review a 100-page law firm bill?

Advances like e-billing and billing guidelines have helped the process tremendously, but there's still room for improvement. In this podcast, Onit's Matt DenOuden and Mary Fuzat sit down to discuss the challenges of legal invoice review and how AI finds "between the rules" savings and gives attorneys back time for more strategic contributions.

Actionable Intelligence for Enterprise Legal Management: Welcoming Bodhala to Onit Sep 01, 2021

Show notes

Imagine four waves of legal technology improvement for legal operations. The first, back in the 90s, came from matter management when legal departments started using technology. The second, which blossomed in the early 2000s, focused on electronic invoicing and spend management and addressed the economics of legal matters. The third wave began to crest around 2010, with the introduction of workflow and process management.

Now, legal departments are on the fourth wave of transformation. This time, it's actionable intelligence and using data to its fullest extent to enhance legal operations.

This fourth wave is what Eric M. Elfman, CEO and co-founder of Onit, and Raj Goyle, CEO of Bodhala, have come together to discuss in this podcast. Onit's acquisition of Bodhala means creating the most complete enterprise legal management solution in the market – one that relies on benchmarking, market intelligence and legal analytics. The two discuss the acquisition, what actionable intelligence means to them and why it's the next revolution for legal operations evolution.

How to Alleviate the NDA Strain Aug 19, 2021

Show notes

Let's face it – reviewing and managing NDAs is a pain in the neck for in-house counsel. They're the highest-volume contracts handled by businesses today. In fact, our customers tell us they process between 500 and 100,000 a year. That's a lot of time (and cost) that can be redirected to other contributions.

In this podcast, Nick Whitehouse, the GM of Onit's AI Center of Excellence, explains why NDAs are ripe for automation and AI and how corporate counsel can cut their time spent on NDAs by 70%.

What Do Lawyers Really Want From Contract AI? May 11, 2021

Show notes

Everyone from tech companies to industry influencers is telling lawyers what they need from AI. And, if there's one thing about lawyers, they don't generally like being told what they like. The dynamic should be flipped. So, let's take a step back and ask this question: Are legal and contract AI technologies giving lawyers what they truly need? What do lawyers think?

In this episode, we go straight to the source, interviewing a lawyer about what she expects from AI. Jean Yang is the VP of Onit's AI Center of Excellence, a lawyer and an AI expert. We talk to her about her experience as a lawyer and her use of technology when practicing law. She'll also share why Onit's newly released ReviewAI Smart Checklists improves contract review consistency, lowers contract risks and better supports the business.
