Why this matters
McDermott Will & Schulte has moved past pilots into deployment. A directional signal rather than a step change.
McDermott (then McDermott Will & Emery) licensed Microsoft Copilot as its first firmwide GenAI tool. Per Chief Knowledge Officer Hunter Jackson, the firm later moved on to ChatGPT Enterprise and CoCounsel in 2024, suggesting Copilot alone did not meet its custom legal-workflow needs.
