Webinar Details
How do you evaluate legal AI when every vendor claims similar capabilities? And once you choose one, what actually changes? The challenge lies in identifying the solution that truly meets the intricate needs of your firm.
Join Elias Dehsabzi (Associate and Digital Lead, Hicksons Lawyers), Jason Lee (Co-Founder, xGC), and Rutvik Rau (CEO, August) for an honest discussion about legal AI adoption in Australian firms.
Jason will share what he's seeing across the market: which firms are moving ahead, what's holding others back, and what questions you should be asking before committing to a platform.
Elias will walk through Hicksons' evaluation process: how they tested multiple vendors on the same complex files, what criteria actually mattered, and why most didn't make the cut. He'll also share what's changed since implementation—how Hicksons now handles thousands of complex matters and what that means for junior and senior lawyers.
You'll see a brief demonstration of how August processes matters and integrates into existing workflows, followed by open Q&A on implementation, cost, and adoption.
What You'll Learn:
How to test legal AI on your firm's actual work
What Australian firms are learning from early adoption
Real outcomes from Hicksons after several months in production
