Giving legal teams access to AI is one thing. Working out where each tool should be used, and what needs to change around it, is another.

Which tasks can be handled by enterprise AI? Where is a specialist legal tool needed? What is worth building internally? And how should the work be checked, governed and measured?

These are now practical delivery questions, not simply technology choices.

In Factor’s 2026 GenAI in Legal Benchmarking Report, 47% of respondents said workflow redesign or orchestration would do the most to accelerate AI impact this year.

In his latest blog, Factor's Nimal Hemelge draws on the report and Factor’s work with in-house teams to explore how legal teams are building AI around their workflows, risks and priorities.

The real test is not how many people use the technology. It is whether it improves the speed, quality and reliability of the work.

CLM has helped legal teams structure intake, workflow, storage and reporting, but many of the outcomes it promised remain difficult to achieve. AI is changing that.

It can add reasoning and decision support across the contracting lifecycle, helping teams apply playbooks, identify risk, support escalations and make faster, better-informed decisions.

Join Factor’s Sandy Devine and Nimal Hemelge on Thursday, September 17th at10am ET as they explore what intelligent contracting looks like in practice.

You’ll learn:

• Why AI changes the role of CLM

• How leading legal teams are embedding AI across the contracting lifecycle

• What it takes to build an intelligent contracting operating model

AI is an excellent mimic. And that’s exactly what can make it risky.

It can produce legal work that looks polished, sounds credible and follows all the right patterns, even when the substance isn’t correct.

For legal teams, that distinction matters. Fluency isn’t the same as accuracy, and a convincing answer isn’t necessarily a trustworthy one.

In our recent Sensemaker Academy workshop, Factor’s Michelle Sherman explored what’s happening behind AI-generated outputs and how legal professionals can verify them without simply redoing the work themselves.

The goal isn’t to distrust AI. It’s to build the skills and judgment to use it with confidence.

Watch the workshop recording and learn three practical techniques for verifying AI-generated work: https://www.factor.law/insights/beyond-ai-access-a-hands-on-workshop-for-building-trust-in-ai-outputs-workshop-recording

Want to know how legal teams are actually using AI? Look at the work, not the tool list.

Factor works alongside legal teams to embed AI into real legal workflows. We’ve seen what is working, where teams are getting stuck and what turns AI access into measurable impact.

What we are seeing is not a race towards one winning platform. Our research shows that legal teams are building hybrid AI stacks:

• 56% have purchased specialist legal AI tools

• 49% have built an internal interface

• 34% have done both

But the stack alone does not create value. The results come from matching the right technology to the right work, redesigning the workflow around it and putting the right governance and measures in place.

In his latest blog Nimal Hemelge shares six lessons from our work with legal teams activating AI inside their workflows.

Most lawyers don’t need another AI tool.
They need to know how to get more from the tools they already have.
That means moving beyond experimentation and building practical skills for applying AI to real legal work.
That’s what we’ll focus on in our Sensemaker Academy taster session on August 19.

Join Factor’s Michelle Sherman and Nicole Bradick for a hands-on session designed to help you:
• Give AI the right role
• Refine your approach
• Turn AI outputs into stronger legal work
• Use AI responsibly while managing the risks

AI access is only the starting point. The real advantage comes from knowing how to use it well.

Our invite-only dinner series, the Sense Supper Club brings together a small group of leaders who are advancing AI inside legal departments.

The events are focused on problem-solving, exchanging ideas and working through how legal teams move forward with AI.

At our most recent gathering, the conversation shifted beyond AI adoption to impact: how to measure AI ROI and how to govern AI-enabled work, while helping teams build the skills to use AI responsibly and effectively.

Much more to come on this topic, but there was broad agreement that lasting impact comes from combining AI with human judgment, confidence and thoughtful oversight.

A sincere thank you to everyone who joined us and shared their perspectives. We look forward to continuing the conversation at future Sense Supper Clubs!
