Extract from Exterro’s article “Transforming Legal Workflows: The Role of AI in Document Review”
In today’s fast-paced legal environment, the landscape of document review has undergone a significant transformation. Traditional methods of examining vast volumes of documents are no longer feasible due to the exponential growth of data and the necessity for timely case resolutions. Enter Artificial Intelligence (AI), a game-changer that is revolutionizing how legal teams handle document review projects. This post delves into how AI optimizes speed, accuracy, and efficiency in legal workflows, making it indispensable for in-house legal teams, lawyers, law firm paralegals, and in-house paralegals.
