So my big point is trying to discuss open-mindedly what ROI looks like when we are investing in this.
And there's all these discussions about whether prices are gonna come down, whether legal fees are gonna come down.
Well, at the moment we've got firms investing millions and millions and millions into some of these systems, depending on the size.
Of the firm, and we're at a stage where we're still educating our lawyers on how to use them.
So you're not going to see that yet, and people need to be aware of that, and we need to educate people around that.
Um, and as I say, it's all about trying to change that culture, trying to get people more on board.
There's a really interesting dynamic around, I guess you'd call it generational divide.
Um, traditionally, the more senior members of staff will be imparting their legal wisdom onto the more junior members.
Members of staff.
I think the interesting dynamic here is if you're looking as an innovation team around your firm for innovation champions, whatever you want to call them, AI champions that are likely to really take to these sort of systems like ducks to water and unlikely to lead them forward on your firm, they might not be the senior partners.
So that's a dynamic we need to look at.
How are your senior partners m going to react when perhaps a more junior member of staff is
is trying to educate them, support them, help them to adopt these pieces of tech.
So that's an interesting dynamic we're gonna have to look at.
I hark back to a point that I was making many, many years ago, which is all about well being.
Uh a and that you know, there are many ways you can take discussion.
Um I don't want to bring the mood of the podcast down too much, but I had a friend uh that I was at law school with who very sadly took his life.
Um that was devastating uh to his family um uh but also and and those that knew him, but also all of us that knew him in the industry because had we noticed what he was going through, could we have done more?
All those sort of things go through your mind.
Um many years have passed since that moment, but it it still hangs with me.
