Cranfill Sumner LLP Chief Executive Officer April Bogard Pinder and Chief Strategy Officer Anna Hedgepeth recently participated in a national Law.com Pro Mid-Market webcast focused on how artificial intelligence is reshaping midsize law firms.
The webcast, “The AI Squeeze: Time and Cost Pressures on Midsize Firms,” was held April 23 and moderated by David Gialanella, editor in chief of The American Lawyer and Business of Law. The discussion examined how generative and agentic AI are driving operational, financial, and leadership challenges across the mid-market legal sector.
April and Anna joined a panel of legal industry leaders from across the country to explore the growing expectation that AI adoption moves beyond experimentation to become an integrated part of firm strategy and service delivery.
Key themes included the need for strong leadership alignment, intentional training and change management, evolving staffing and pricing models, and ongoing client communication to ensure transparency and value as AI is incorporated into legal work.
The Law.com Pro Mid-Market webcast series brings together law firm leaders and industry experts to share insight on the most pressing issues facing midsize firms nationwide.
