In this episode of Studio A, Will Ayers reconnects with Andy Hoyt, Chief Technology Officer at Aderant, for a conversation recorded live at Momentum Global 2025. Andy explains how MADDI has progressed from a rule-based engine into an Agentic AI system that continuously learns, automates complex workflows, and supports law firms with intelligent recommendations.

Law firms that delay AI investment may be doing more than falling behind on innovation. They could be losing their people.
