Definelys new product chief on keeping lawyers in charge in the AI age
Summary
John Connolly joined Definely as chief product officer after leaving Meta to focus on legal AI and product strategy. He prioritizes tools that keep lawyers firmly in control of decisions rather than replacing them, and Definely concentrates on in-Word contract review rather than building an all-in-one platform. Connolly highlighted Definely's recently launched Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect AI models to its contract review tools and improve traceability and accuracy. He expects legal AI to increase lawyers' workloads around verification and judgment, and plans to deepen integrations while staying narrowly focused on document assessment and decision support.
