About this Webinar
The rise of Generative AI is doing more than just speeding up document review; it is dismantling the traditional leverage ratios of external law firms. For Australian litigation teams, this means a golden opportunity to optimize outside counsel spend without sacrificing quality.
This webinar provides a roadmap for leveraging AI to gain total visibility into your litigation portfolio. We will dive into:
- Use AI to benchmark outside counsel performance and spend.
- The "Shadow" Pyramid: Identifying where AI can replace junior-level billable tasks.
- Accountability: Metrics for ensuring outside counsel are passing AI-driven efficiencies back to the client.
- Case studies on optimizing litigation spend in the Australian market.
- Demonstrate how Exterro Review enables legal and investigative teams to manage large datasets efficiently, apply defensible workflows, and complete review projects with greater speed and accuracy.
