Generate AI Traction with
a Bottom-up Approach

Finding your AI champions is critical to successful adoption. Champions spread enthusiasm and encourage skeptics to give AI a chance. Here’s how to identify them:

  1. Look for early adopters who always volunteer to test new tools
  2. Ask staff to nominate themselves or colleagues
  3. Start with case staff (paralegals, case managers) who handle manual processes and will see benefits fastest

Their success builds momentum and encourages hesitant attorneys to follow suit. Hear from Edwin Saghian, Founding Partner at Omega Law Group, about their approach to building momentum for AI adoption.

“We try to focus on a bottom-up approach. If we can get the paralegals or case managers to adopt it first, that usually trickles up to the rest of the firm.”

Help Your Team See What AI Means for Them

Take learnings from your early adopters and use them to show the rest of your team the value of AI. Demonstrate how it:

  1. Makes them more efficient
  2. Cuts out tedious tasks
  3. Drives better case results

Use this worksheet to identify role-specific AI benefits and redefine processes across your team.

Highlight Quick Wins to Gain AI Advocates

Use small pilot groups to refine your approach before scaling across your firm:

  1. Test new workflows with trusted team members
  2. Gather feedback and identify pain points early
  3. Surface champions who can provide 1-1 support to colleagues

This peer-to-peer approach ensures smoother adoption across the firm.

Hear Neila Pourhashem, Director of National Operations at Sweet James, share how champions help build their culture of change.

“Having those partners in the firm who become power users is critical. They can then lend a hand to those folks who might not be able to or are a little intimidated to raise their hand in a group. They can handle some of those one-on-ones as a colleague.”
