Challenge: Limited Customization for Niche Practice Areas

"Training Legal AI software to meet your specific requirements and align with your corporate governance policies is a complex and time-consuming process. It demands considerable time, commitment, and analysis to reach a point where you can confidently trust the process. Additionally, it necessitates input from both legal and commercial business units to guarantee its effectiveness for all parties involved. While it can be a valuable tool once fully implemented, it is important to recognize that this does not occur instantaneously."
