Artificial intelligence has reached a tipping point that will spur changes in the everyday practice of law, Orrick’s Vedika Mehera told Artificial Lawyer, which covers legal tech and AI news.

In an interview that also covered her background and role at Orrick, she shared her perspectives on how:

  • Artificial intelligence will change the everyday practice of law for more routine matters and complex legal work, thought the implications are harder to predict for the more nuanced projects.
  • The pace of technological change is likely to spur new regulations and additional burdens in data privacy and security.
  • Investing heavily in data strategies represents one of the greatest opportunities for change across the legal sector.
