In the season finale of Notes to My (Legal) Self, Olga Mack is joined by Tara Emory—former big law antitrust attorney, general counsel, and legal tech consultant—for a candid conversation on how legal teams can overcome cultural and organizational resistance to GenAI.
With two decades of experience at the intersection of law and technology, Tara shares her evolution from litigator to legal innovator. Drawing on her in-house and consulting work, she breaks down what it really takes to bring GenAI into legal workflows in a way that sticks.
In this conversation, you'll learn:
Why legal tech adoption is as much about culture as it is about code
How in-house teams evaluate legal tools through a cost–value lens
Real-world use cases for GenAI—from drafting contracts to redline comparisons
How to align GenAI initiatives with company culture and strategic goals
Why GenAI should enhance human clarity, not replace legal judgment
Whether you're a GC evaluating tools, a legal ops leader planning implementation, or a skeptic wondering where GenAI fits in, this episode offers practical insights to guide your next steps.
