Legora just acquired Wexler, and I think it's the clearest signal yet that AI in law is moving from transactional work to litigation. Gregory Mostyn, co-founder and CEO of Wexler, built the company just to the right of discovery. Not doc review, what happens when the documents actually hit the lawyers. He explains why he bet on facts instead of documents, why he stayed a scalpel while Harvey and Legora built Swiss Army knives, and why a company that wasn't for sale sold anyway. I also pushed him on the two questions I get from lawyers every week. Are we in a bubble? And if the models are this good, why buy anything at all instead of building it yourself? His answer to the second one is the part I'd replay. And yes, the company is named after Kim Wexler.
