Dean Sonderegger, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions, recently joined legal industry analyst and host Ari Kaplan on the Reinventing Professionals podcast to discuss the critical role legal domain expertise plays in developing and deploying AI solutions that legal professionals can trust.
“We feel like it's very important since we're working in the legal market that we have attorneys that are part of the core team,” said Sonderegger. “Those attorneys help in providing service, designing the software itself, and training the AI tools to help drive the value and outcomes customers are looking for.”
During the conversation, Sonderegger also shared his perspective on the legal industry's rapid transformation and the importance of focusing on measurable business outcomes rather than technology features. He encourages legal professionals to focus their use of AI on measurable business outcomes, such as reducing legal invoice review times.
Dean also shares insights on:
- The current state of AI adoption across corporate legal departments.
- Overcoming governance, privacy, and implementation barriers.
- How legal teams can identify high-value AI use cases.
- Why outcome-driven innovation is critical to successful legal technology investments.
