Search every verified David Bloch interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. David Bloch, CEO and co-founder of Legartis, has been active in public discussions about the role of artificial intelligence in legal work. In October 2025, he participated in a Legal AI Talk with Kai Jacob and Gordian Berger, where he discussed the differences between classic AI and agentic legal AI, and introduced the Contract Playbook Creator, a tool he said enables customers to create contract playbooks independently and in a shorter time. He noted that while the underlying large language models are expected to see only incremental changes in 2025, he predicted a significant trend in AI agents that can access tools and knowledge, such as calling APIs. He also stated that legal professionals spend about 40% of their time on repetitive tasks, and that Legartis’s AI analyzes contracts against company policies to flag deviations. In earlier appearances, Bloch discussed the evolution of his company and the broader legal tech market. In a February 2025 podcast, he recounted founding Legartis, the launch of its first product, an NDA checker, in November 2019, and the subsequent hiring of a chief sales officer. He also mentioned working with companies such as Daimler, Mobiliar, and Tamedia. In a 2024 speech, he argued that legal departments face challenges including high costs, legal risks, and slow processes, and that AI can reduce review times and allow lawyers to focus on more complex work. Bloch has consistently emphasized a belief in combining machine and human capabilities, with AI handling repetitive tasks so lawyers can return to work they were trained for.
