We share how CMS uses controlled experiments, firm wide access to Harvey and practice specific use cases to turn AI adoption into measurable value.</p><p><br></p><p>We also cover why prompt counts reveal little about success, how AI could reshape legal pricing, why the billable hour still has a role and how law firms may gradually develop into hybrid organisations combining lawyers, software, workflows and agents.</p><p><br></p><p>The episode offers a pragmatic perspective on legal innovation: move step by step, focus on client outcomes and prepare for fundamental change without reacting to every new wave of hype.</p>","author_name":"Pim Betist | Recht in je Oor "}
