Ep. 114: Disney, Data and a New Era: Candi Smith on Where eDiscovery and Legal Tech Go From Here

Legal tech is at an inflection point. The tools are changing, the conversations are changing, and the energy in the room at Legalweek 2025 made it impossible to ignore that something fundamental is shifting in how this industry thinks about eDiscovery and AI. Cat Casey sits down live from Legalweek 2025 with Candi Smith, eDiscovery Analyst at Disney, to talk about what that shift actually looks like from inside one of the world's most recognizable enterprise legal operations. They get into where eDiscovery is heading, what AI is actually changing versus what is still hype, and why the vibe at Legalweek this year felt like the beginning of something new rather than more of the same. Real talk from someone doing the work at enterprise scale. No stage answers. Just the conversation happening in the room where it matters.
