He believes the real challenge isn’t just adopting AI, but getting teams aligned, open to change, and involved in shaping workflows so the technology actually delivers value. He also warns that legal departments and law firms are heading toward a pricing and service tension: if firms don’t reduce costs and adapt, clients may bring more capabilities in-house.So why should you be listening in? You can hear Rob and Manuel discussing:- AI Strategy Mattering More Than Tools- Teams Needing a Mindset Change- Client Costs and Values Shifting- Talking to Clients About Shortcomings- Adapting Workflows for Real Efficiency.Connect with Manuel Mesquita here - https://www.linkedin.com/in/manuel-mesquita-93635314/
