Contractually Speaking

In the inaugural episode of Contractually Speaking, Matt sits down with Lucy Bassli of InnoLaw Group to unpack the real challenges behind adopting contract lifecycle management (CLM) systems and legal technology. While AI often gets the spotlight, the conversation reveals that the biggest hurdle isn’t technology at all—it’s people. From fear of change to misconceptions about AI replacing everyone, Matt and Lucy explore what it truly takes to make legal tech successful across an organization, not just a legal tool, and what approach can unlock far greater value.
