Confirmed

Docusign's Chief Legal Officer publicly described how the company's legal department builds AI fluency: staff are segmented into AI Leaders, Learners and Skeptics, with tiered training and monthly peer demonstration forums. AI handles low-risk contracts with lighter oversight while complex matters keep heavier human review, and AI fluency is becoming an implicit hiring expectation. New hybrid roles pair lawyers with sales and customer success teams.

""AI fluency will occupy a large portion of the toolkits people will need to succeed in the future in positions and companies like ours." - Jim Shaughnessy, CLO, Docusign"
