Thomas Vick and Seth Wilson on Clio's New AI Tools for Law Firms

Thomas Vick and Seth Wilson break down what came out of ClioCon: a push to pull intake, client communication, workflows, and case management into a single point of entry.

What AI Actually Gives Lawyers Back

Thomas Vick and Seth Wilson dig into what artificial intelligence actually changes inside a law practice — not the hype, the day-to-day. They cover where automation genuinely saves time, how AI is reshaping document management in estate planning, and what it takes to train staff on tools that keep evolving underneath them. The throughline: the real return isn't speed for its own sake. It's the hours AI hands back, and whether you spend them on better conversations with clients or just absorb them into more work.

How Lawyers Stay Focused When the Day Falls Apart

Thomas Vick and Seth Wilson get into what happens when a well-planned day in a law practice collides with the unexpected - the emergency filing, the walk-in client, the question from staff that cannot wait.

What AI Should and Shouldn't Do in Your Law Practice

The question isn't whether AI belongs in a law practice anymore. It's which tools earn their place, which ones still need a human in the loop, and where the ethical lines sit. Thomas Vick and Seth Wilson work through the AI tools landscape as it actually stands for practicing attorneys - what to adopt now, what to approach carefully, and why the goal is to enhance the lawyer's judgment rather than replace it.
