Stop Buying Legal AI Until You Do This First

from The Levantage Legal AI Podcast · host Levantage AI Advisors

How Law Firms Should Choose AI Software (Without Wasting Money or Risking Compliance) Ty Brown, an attorney and partner at Lavantage AI Advisors, explains why law firms waste time and money when they start AI adoption by shopping for tools instead of making an operations and leadership decision. He argues AI amplifies broken workflows, so firms should map processes first, identify bottlenecks, and select tools based on friction points. The video outlines four categories of legal AI document review/analysis, legal research platforms, drafting/writing tools, and operational AI and provides a five-step evaluation framework: define the problem, assess integration and adoption risk, review security/confidentiality/ethics, set human oversight controls, and calculate total cost and real ROI. He warns against treating AI as plug-and-play, recommends piloting one use case, and lists vendor red flags like lock-in, weak security, and unrealistic autonomy claims. He closes with a decision filter: design the system first, then add tools.
