From Pilot to Production: How Axiom’s Clients Cracked the Legal AI Adoption Code
Join as he corrals , , and for an inside look at running successful AI pilots in legal organizations. After helping Axiom test dozens of tools and compress months of contract review work into days, this group of legal AI experts unlocked the secret to achieving 10x efficiency gains that few in-house teams know. In today’s episode, learn why 14-day trials doom AI adoption before it starts, why training your AI on thousands of past contracts degrades does the exact opposite of what lawyers expect it to do (get smarter; but no, it gets dumber), and how focusing on one specific use case beats trying to solve everything at once. The panel shares hard-won insights from their innovative structured 8-week pilot program, including why dummy data kills engagement, how vendor engagement and support makes or breaks adoption, and why it’s crucial to give your lawyers 3-6 weeks to build new habits around AI tools. Whether you’re a GC evaluating generative AI tools, a legal ops leader running pilots, or a law firm partner wondering about how to measure ROI, this conversation offers field-tested strategies for what drives AI adoption in legal settings vs. expensive experimentation. Key topics: Structured pilots vs. side-of-desk testing • Why playbooks beat historical data • The 90-day sweet spot • Building momentum with quick wins • The future of AI-augmented legal work 🎧 Part of the Axiom Legal Tech podcast series exploring practical AI implementation in legal services Visit for more information
