In eigener Sache: Interview LegalCommunity Magazin

Ich konnte im Magazin von LegalCommunity.ch ein paar Sätze zur KI Adoption in Kanzleien ausführen:

"Daniel Brugger, senior legal AI advisor at Lenz & Staehelin, also frames responsible adoption as something broader than tool selection. 'Selecting compliant tools is only the first step. The harder work follows', he says. For a leading law firm, this means rethinking workflows, modernising knowledge and data management, and building new AI-driven services and products while preserving the lawyer’s ultimate responsibility.

At Lenz & Staehelin for example, he explains, training includes mandatory onboarding for new joiners, recurring AI talks and working sessions differentiated by seniority and practice group. The point is clear: AI adoption is not only a technology project. It is also an organisational and educational one. 'Tools alone do not transform a law firm. People do', Brugger says. AI literacy should become part of the standard professional training of every young lawyer, but it does not replace legal expertise. 'Substantive legal expertise remains the foundation', he says. What changes is the competence profile: the focus increasingly moves from producing legal work products from scratch towards verifying, refining and curating AI-generated output. Yet 'judgement, professional ethos and interpersonal skill remain distinctly human - and become the real differentiator'.
