• Big Law got a new opponent last year with the formation of Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer.
• The firm tapped a former McKinsey lawyer, Ilona Logvinova, to lead the rollout of AI tools.
• AI tools are easy to license, Logvinova says. The hard part is changing behavior.

When corporate law firms Herbert Smith Freehills and Kramer Levin combined last year, they put a new contender into Big Law's league, with about 2,700 lawyers and more than $2 billion in revenue.
