Weekly Stats and data brought to you by Zeal

Imagine slashing hours off your legal ops workload with the push of a button. There is so much untapped opportunity to leverage AI in the legal field, so why has the industry been slow to adopt? What are the areas where AI can be most helpful? See our weekly infographic below for more details.

How-to's, in-depth analysis, light-hearted memes-- you name it, the Zeal blog has it. Here are some of our recent deep dives into contracting:

• What is Contract Redlining? Over the years, the process of drafting contracts has evolved with technology. Despite the availability of new streamlined platforms, organizations are only catching up to the new paperless era, where many new methods have evolved or emerged due to more streamlined practices. However, “redlining” remains a fundamental part of the process.
• The Candidate Experience: Technology’s Role in Shaping Staffing Success In the contemporary competitive staffing industry, enhancing the candidate experience is not optional; it is a fundamental aspect of a successful recruitment strategy. Shockingly, close to 60% of job seekers have reported negative experiences, leading to far-reaching consequences for employers.

• AI Technology and Legal Departments: Hurdles to Adoption AI technology is bringing about significant changes in legal departments as they discover its practical benefits. Tasks that used to be tedious and time-consuming, such as contract processes and memo writing, are now being automated, transforming traditional workflows. However, legal teams may encounter difficulties in adopting new technologies despite the potential advantages of these technological innovations.

• Report Viewing Permissions This feature allows admins to control who can see or change settings for viewing reports. Admins can now restrict access to report views based on the roles users have in the workspace, like members, editors, or other custom roles. This means admins can specify which roles can or cannot access and modify reporting permissions, making it more secure and tailored to your team's needs.
• Contract PDF Download Restrictions A New feature that enables admins to limit the ability to download PDF versions of contracts based on user roles within the workspace, such as members, editors, or other designated roles. Admins can specify which roles are permitted to download contract PDFs, ensuring that only authorized users have access to these sensitive documents.

However, these fees can cause dissatisfaction and friction, presenting many challenges. AI could be the solution to these issues. Read the full article here.
