Law360 Quotes Lightfoot CTO Corey Thomas in Articles on AI Adoption at Law Firms

October 27, 2025

Law360 quoted Lightfoot, Franklin & White Chief Technology Officer Corey Thomas extensively in a Sept. 26 article covering how law firms are encouraging attorneys to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) to improve efficiency and enhance client service. 

Drawing on his leadership in launching the legal AI platform Harvey last year, as well as introducing Lexis + AI and Microsoft Copilot, Thomas shared how Lightfoot’s forward-thinking approach led to a successful adoption across the firm. He noted that key elements of the rollouts included engaging lunch-and-learn sessions, short informational videos and concise one-page handouts. Additionally, the firm’s internal newsletter, launched during the COVID-19 pandemic, became a powerful educational tool for showcasing attorney success stories and best practices with the new platforms, further demonstrating the value delivered to clients. 

Moving forward, Thomas told Law360 that Lightfoot will work with a dedicated engineer who can support lawyers with pain points in their use of AI. This initiative will focus on identifying opportunities within practice areas where AI can streamline work and deliver meaningful benefits to clients, reinforcing Lightfoot’s commitment to client service and innovation. 

"Let's go a step above training," Thomas told Law360. "How can we help AI deliver better value to clients and increase efficiency?"

Thomas was quoted again in an Oct. 22 Law360 article highlighting how clients are driving wider AI adoption by law firms.

In the article, he said clients are increasingly bringing up AI in attorney meetings and asking how it can increase efficiency. 

As Chief Technology Officer, Thomas drives Lightfoot’s pursuit of legal technology excellence. In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, he ensures the firm remains at the forefront of innovation—advising on technology systems, upgrades, and security—so that Lightfoot continues to deliver exceptional results and value for our clients.
