This episode of The Legal Ops Podcast takes you back you back to CLOC 2023 to relieve all the excitement and insights shared during the conference.

The 2023 CLOC Global Institute brought together more than 2,500 of the best legal minds in the country to share ideas on what practices and platforms to implement and how they can contribute to the growth of the entire legal ecosystem.

Whether you were there and participated in all the excitement or had to miss this year’s fun, there’s plenty you’ll want to catch up on. The good news is, we have it all in one podcast for you.

Alex Rosenrauch and Elliot Leibu of The Legal Ops Podcast spent their time at CLOC interviewing attendees and presenters on the unofficial theme of this year’s conference: artificial intelligence and its role in the legal industry.

During the interviews, which covered AI from many angles, the podcast hosts met with a few familiar Evisort faces to hear their takes on the excitement of the event overall as well as AI for contracting.

“We were ahead of the curve on thinking about large language models and [considering] how to you build [these] models securely. But I actually think the bigger impact has not been on the technology side; it's been on the awareness side. Even one year ago, people were asking, ‘Why do I need AI?’ Now when we talk to prospects, they've decided already, at a global level, that they want to use AI. The question is ‘How do I use it?’ Now, that's a good conversation.”

-Jerry Ting, Founder + CEO at Evisort

“[Operations-minded folks] are remarkably detail-oriented, super passionate, and hardworking, and I think are often behind the scenes doing so much amazing work. That was part of the reason I joined Evisort, to help elevate operations…CLOC really helps to elevate the legal ops profession and teach them the skills they need to move beyond everything they do behind the scenes to really be strategic partners.”

-Rachael McBrearty, Chief Customer Officer at Evisort

“We're at such a right point with contract management, with what AI is capable of doing, because now it's going beyond the extraction of understanding what's in your agreements. It's actually creating the agreements, it's redlining the agreements, and we're just scratching the surface of what the capabilities are now.”

-Hal Marcus, VP of Product Marketing at Evisort
