“I started working with John in 2017, and he immediately made me feel like a valued member of the transactions team, even in my capacity as an independent consultant. John empowers his team to operate autonomously while always making himself available for support as needed. His in-depth industry knowledge and excellent negotiation skills enable him to generate the best results for his clients. He is not only an excellent attorney, he is an absolute pleasure to work with as a colleague. I would happily collaborate with him on future endeavors and offer my highest recommendation.”

The legal tech world is debating the wrong metrics. Last week's discussion about Harvey's user numbers and utilization rates perfectly illustrates the problem - we're measuring vendor success, not client value. Law firm tech tracks billable hours, seat licenses, and utilization rates. But in-house teams need completely different metrics. We need to know how much we reduced outside counsel spend, how fast we can turn around contracts, and what capacity we created for strategic work. At Coherent, we've achieved a 78% reduction in contract review time. We're on track for 50%+ reduction in outside counsel dependency and have eliminated 30% of manual tasks, freeing our team for higher-value work. Unless we require accountability to the metrics that matter for us, tech built for law firms will never measure what matters to in-house teams. In-house teams need tech built specifically for in-house priorities. We need vendors (including law firms) who measure what actually matters to the business. And we need radical transparency about real outcomes, not vanity metrics. To my fellow CLOs - Start demanding the metrics that matter. Ask your vendors how their AI creates efficiency gains, not how many licenses they've sold. The conversation needs to shift from vendor success to customer value. Until then, we're having the wrong conversation about legal technology. I explore this further in my latest piece for Legal IT Insider--> https://lnkd.in/eieDEgvM

Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP just acquired Springbok AI to develop custom AI solutions internally. I've always believed that selling 'standardized' SaaS to law firms never made sense. Law firms are functionally a partnership of independent contractors who have extremely different workflows, and whose value is tied to how they handle edge cases, not how fast they process standard cases. Custom AI solutions for each law firm, department, and even lawyer is the inevitable future. https://lnkd.in/e-tT-Mg2
