About the Podcast
Everyone has a prediction about AI in law. Far fewer can compare it to reality. Ahead of Future Disputes UK, we sat down with Tripp Hemphill (DISCO), Nina Gratrick (Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer) and Timo Karakashev (Cosmonauts) to unpack how legal technology adoption has actually unfolded - how today's use of technology by lawyers compares with what was envisioned five years ago, the real litmus test for whether a tool earns a place in a firm's tech stack, and why trust and the human element remain the deciding factors in disputes. A candid conversation between the people building legal AI and the people deploying it inside a global law firm.
