LegalTechTalk 26 - Jean Yang

At LegalTechTalk 2026, David Woolstencroft sat down with Jean Yang to discuss one of the biggest shifts happening across the legal industry. It's no longer a question of whether organisations will adopt AI. The question has become: Where do we start? After moving from litigation in New Zealand to co-founding legal AI pioneer McCarthy Finch and now leading the legal innovation community at Onit, Jean has had a front-row seat to the evolution of AI in legal. 💡 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: ↳ AI has moved from curiosity to a business priority across legal teams. ↳ The biggest challenge is no longer convincing people to adopt AI, but helping them navigate the overwhelming number of options. ↳ Learning from peers is often more valuable than listening to another webinar or sales pitch. ↳ Successful AI transformation is driven by community, collaboration and shared experiences. One insight stood out: "I must do something with AI. I don't necessarily know what, but I must." As AI adoption accelerates, the organisations that move forward most confidently may not be the ones with all the answers. They'll be the ones willing to learn from each other. #LegalTech #ArtificialIntelligence #LegalInnovation #LegalAI #LegalOperations #InHouseCounsel #DigitalTransformation #PeopleInLegal #LegalTechTalk2026
