Successful AI adoption in legal teams happens where AI meets human structure.
Your legal department is ready for AI.
AI for Legal Teams helps legal departments adopt AI with greater efficiency and responsible decision-making.
The approach
A structured approach to AI adoption for legal teams.
AI Readiness
- ·Understand where your legal department currently stands with AI
- ·Identify skill gaps, readiness barriers and entry points
- ·Build a shared baseline across leadership and legal teams
Result
You know where to start.
Define Legal Use Cases
- ·Analyse real legal workflows, not hypothetical scenarios
- ·Identify and prioritise high-value use cases
- ·Define safe and meaningful entry points for legal work
Result
AI creates real value in legal work.
Integrate AI into Legal Work
- ·Select tools based on actual legal needs
- ·Design workflows around AI support
- ·Build in review points and human oversight from the start
Result
AI becomes part of how legal work gets done.
Responsible AI Governance & EU AI Act Readiness
AI adoption through structure, procedures and decision clarity. Procedures matter.
Who this is for
In-house legal teams
AI is on your leadership's agenda, but nobody has a clear implementation plan
Your team uses AI tools informally, without structure or oversight
You need a practical plan, not a theoretical one
Compliance teams
AI use in your organisation must meet GDPR and EU AI Act requirements
You need documentation and accountability structures for AI systems in use
Risk categories of AI systems in use are not yet assessed
General Counsel and CLOs
You're being asked about AI readiness but don't have clear answers
You want an honest view of what adoption actually takes
You need someone who understands both law and AI. Not a vendor.
Legal operations
You manage high document volumes and repetitive legal workflows
You've tried AI tools but adoption was inconsistent
You want AI built into how legal work gets done, not bolted on afterwards
Human structure makes legal teams AI-ready.
The visible side of AI is tools.
What matters most is accountability, processes and compliance.
Most legal AI initiatives focus on the visible part. What determines success is everything underneath: who owns decisions, how processes are structured, and whether compliance is built in from the start.
The challenge
Successful AI adoption in legal teams goes beyond technology.
What matters is introducing AI in a way that fits how your legal department works, supports responsible decisions, and creates real value in everyday legal work.
"We bought the tools. Nobody uses them properly."
Adoption failure"Lawyers are using AI informally. Nobody knows the risks."
Shadow AI exposure"We need to be EU AI Act compliant but don't know what applies to us."
Compliance uncertainty"Our GC wants AI. Our lawyers are afraid of it."
Readiness gap"We don't know where AI is safe to use in legal work."
Use case confusion"Who is accountable when AI makes a mistake in a legal matter?"

Marta Schmidl
AI Adoption Advisor · Decision Structures · International Legal Counsel
I work on how AI becomes part of daily operations - in a way that aligns with responsibility, risk and real workflows.
My background combines international legal practice, project management and hands-on AI adoption in legal and business teams. This shapes how I design AI use in real working environments.
My work is supported by a structured AI environment, integrated into daily workflows. I use it within clear principles, with human judgment and responsibility remaining explicit.
I bring a strong understanding of legal risk, organizational reality and the human side of adoption.
