Demand for AV integration services is becoming more complex and widespread, making it increasingly difficult for integrators to scale operations without sacrificing profitability. According to AVIXA's 2024 Industry Outlook and Trends Analysis, the Pro AV market is projected to reach $422 billion by 2029, intensifying the need for flexible, scalable support. Amid these pressures, service innovations like LinkLab are helping AV integrators stay competitive while navigating labor shortages, regional growth, and evolving client expectations.So, how can integrators, especially small to mid-sized ones, expand regionally, improve operational efficiency, and take on new work without overextending their internal teams?In this episode of Pro AV Today, host Ben Thomas, sits down with Cory Allen, VP of Services at Exertis Almo, to explore how the launch of LinkLab is reshaping the way integrators approach service delivery, project scaling, and workforce development across the AV industry.Key Points from the Conversation:Strategic Rebrand with Purpose: LinkLab isn't just a new name for Exertis Almo's professional services; it reflects a clearer mission to support AV integrators with targeted, scalable solutions.Regional and National Reach: The service enables integrators to pursue business in new markets even nationwide, without the need to hire local staff or turn away opportunities due to resource constraints.Empowering New Talent: LinkLab supports industry growth by offering CTS-certified AutoCAD training, helping to upskill both newcomers and experienced technicians within the AV community.Cory Allen is a seasoned AV industry leader with over 15 years of experience in sales, services, and operations, currently serving as Vice President of Services at Exertis Almo.

In today's episode, I sit down with Gretta Rusanow, Head of Law Firm Group Advisory Services for Citi Global Wealth at Work, to break down the findings of the 2025 Citi Hildebrandt Client Advisory. This annual report is one of the most closely watched analyses in the legal industry, providing insights on market trends, firm growth strategies, and the evolving business model of law firms. We explore some of the biggest challenges and opportunities law firms are facing, including the slow but inevitable adoption of generative AI, shifting leverage models, the expansion of non-equity partner tiers, and how firms are approaching lateral hiring in an increasingly competitive market. If you're a law firm leader, an aspiring partner, or simply want to stay ahead of where the legal industry is headed, this episode is packed with valuable insights. At a Glance: 00:00 Introduction: The Future of Big Law  01:20 Overview of the Citi Hildebrandt Client Advisory and its influence on law firm strategy 04:03 How law firms are responding to generative AI and why spending remains low 08:20 The challenge of recouping AI investment costs while maintaining profitability 10:46 How AI may reshape associate leverage models and impact billing structures 16:07 The role of lateral partner hiring and why success rates remain modest 20:56 The rise of the non-equity partner tier and its impact on law firm economics 27:21 The risks of an overgrown income partner tier and how firms can manage it effectively 30:51 Growth markets and law firm consolidation trends in 2025 A Few Takeaways: Generative AI Adoption Is Slow, But Inevitable: Despite all the buzz, law firms spent less than 1% of their revenue on generative AI tools in 2023. Firms are still in the assessment phase, but large-scale investment is coming. Those that successfully integrate AI will need to balance efficiency gains with sustainable billing models. Leverage Models Will Shift, But Not Disappear: While AI may reduce the need for first- and second-year associates to perform certain tasks, firms are more likely to reshape their leverage models than abandon them. Many firms expect a shift toward mid-level and senior associates who can refine AI-generated work rather than a dramatic cut in junior hiring. Lateral Hiring Is a Gamble: The success rate of lateral hires remains low, with many firms finding that promised books of business don't always materialize. Firms that succeed in lateral hiring have rigorous integration strategies, ensuring new partners are fully embedded in firm culture and client relationships. The Non-Equity Partner Tier Is Expanding for Retention: More firms are embracing the income partner model as a way to retain senior associates who might otherwise leave. While this strategy can strengthen talent pipelines, firms must carefully manage this tier to avoid the inefficiencies seen in past decades. Market Consolidation Is Expected to Continue: The cost of running a law firm is rising, from AI investments to partner compensation. In an environment of modest demand growth, firms will increasingly turn to mergers and strategic consolidation to remain competitive, particularly in high-cost legal markets like New York, California, and London.

All stakeholders look to the company leader for direction, corporate culture, profitability, and growth. Great CEOs look to own their market and those next to their company. Rhett Bennet with Black Mountain Oil is just one of those CEOs who look at the global market perspective. I have enjoyed reading his insights from his LinkedIn posts and following their company updates. And when we found out he would be at NAPE, we jumped at interviewing him live from the floor. Delivering low-cost energy to the American Market is critical for Black Mountain, and Rhett really let me know about his views on our national security and critical mineral supply chain issues.
