Is legal AI accurate?
It can be wrong, which is why a lawyer reviews anything legal. The operations team works on facts and scheduling, and routes judgment calls to attorneys.
What is the difference between legal AI and a legal AI team?
A tool does one task when asked. A team of agents runs ongoing work, like intake and client updates, every day.
