Legal Maxxing™ with Liz Lugones

Legal is being asked to move faster, adopt AI, and do more with less — all without increasing risk. For most teams, that pressure is piling on top of an operating model that was never built to handle it.In this launch episode, host Liz Lugones breaks down what Legal Maxxing actually means and why now is the moment for legal to stop retrofitting old processes and start building the foundation that makes everything else possible.People. Process. Data. Technology. AI. When those five things are aligned, legal stops being a checkpoint and starts being a catalyst.15 minutes. Zero filler. Welcome to Legal Maxxing.

What does the Artemis II moon mission have to do with AI adoption in legal? More than you'd think.In this episode, Liz sits down with Ashley Estilette, Chief Marketing Officer at Mitratech, to talk about what the legal and tech world is getting wrong about AI — and it comes down to one thing: the human fingerprint.Ashley makes the case that technology only truly matters when people are at the center of it. The Mars Rover is incredible. But we were glued to Artemis II because humans came back and told their stories. AI in legal is no different.They cover why the pressure to "just adopt AI" is backfiring, why "human in the loop" undersells what's actually at stake, and the one thing legal teams should do this quarter before they evaluate a single tool.Plus: Maxx It / Kill It — Ashley's take on what legal needs to stop doing immediately and where to go all in.
