Podcasts about legal innovation

Welcome to AI Lawyer Talking Tech. Today, we delve into the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on legal practice. With AI adoption soaring among legal professionals, from just 19% in 2023 to 79% in 2024 according to one report, many firms are embracing new tools to enhance efficiency and service. AI is being integrated into various facets of legal work, automating repetitive tasks, aiding legal research, reviewing documents, assisting with drafting, and even managing aspects of litigation. These applications promise benefits like increased speed, reduced errors, and freeing lawyers to focus on providing high-quality advice and building client relationships. However, as AI becomes more integrated, it introduces critical considerations around accuracy and the need for lawyers to maintain their professional responsibility by verifying AI-generated content and ensuring compliance. This era of rapid change and opportunity is a central theme in legal tech discussions, evident at recent events like the ABA Techshow, where "Everything AI" was pervasive, and the Legal Innovators California conference, exploring the cutting edge of legal AI and innovation. Join us as we explore these developments and the evolving landscape of law practice in the age of AI.Anthropic Sued by Reddit for Unauthorized Use of AI Training Data04 Jun 2025Win BuzzerWe're Live, the Real Lawyers Podcast—First Guest is John Corey of Greentarget04 Jun 2025Real Lawyers Have BlogsLinklaters expands use of Opus 2 AI to boost litigation teams Today04 Jun 2025IT Brief UKEpiq Combines Epiq AI Discovery Assistant™ Capabilities With Global Investigations and Consulting Expertise04 Jun 2025Epiq SystemsOverwhelmed by AI?

On 7 May 2025, in the fourth podcast in CLI's Legal GenAI Conversations Series Terri Mottershead, Executive Director of the Centre for Legal Innovation was joined by three amazing guests to discuss The Lawyerless Law Firm – Myth or Reality in 2030? Miriam Rihani, Head of Transformation and Legal Operations (OGC), PwC Australia Laura Vickers, Founding Director, Nest Legal Dominic Woolrych, CEO and Co-Founder, Lawpath Topics covered in this session included: Whether or not we are close – technologically, culturally, and commercially - to a truly lawyerless law firm and what key barriers stand in the way If we are likely to see lawyerless business models emerge in certain sizes of practices or areas of practice, while others remain lawyer-led If the promise of broader access to justice via AI can be reconciled with the safeguards lawyers have traditionally provided If the future of legal practice is less about lawyering, more about tech, or a complete redefinition of legal roles Where human lawyers can add the most irreplaceable value in a tech-enabled legal system Who should build and enforce the guardrails in a world where legal professionals are integrally intertwined with the tech and, how we guard against self-interest If the lawyerless law firm will be a positive or negative addition to the legal ecosystem You'll find details about the other topics we'll be discussing in this series here.

Ever wonder why legal advice feels so intimidating for founders? Jeff Holman is changing that narrative by merging his unique background as an engineer, MBA, and attorney to help entrepreneurs navigate the complex world of business law with clarity and confidence.What makes Jeff's approach at Intellectual Strategies different is his fractional legal team model. Rather than providing occasional legal advice or requiring founders to hire a full-time counsel they can't afford, his team becomes an extension of the startup—providing expertise across multiple legal disciplines exactly when needed. This innovative approach means founders get "the right attorney with the right expertise at the right time" without the bottlenecks that come with traditional legal counsel.Our conversation reveals the stark contrast between first-time and second-time founders. While first-timers focus almost exclusively on product-market fit (often neglecting crucial legal foundations), experienced entrepreneurs understand the importance of addressing legal considerations early. As Jeff explains, it's not just about avoiding problems—it's about creating the freedom to operate boldly in your business. His four-layered approach to intellectual property protection (patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets) offers a comprehensive framework for innovative companies to protect what matters most.Perhaps most valuable is Jeff's philosophy around overcoming the fear that paralyzes many entrepreneurs. "You're never afraid of the past," he notes, "you only fear the future." His solution? Action. By taking decisive steps toward addressing potential legal issues, founders transform future uncertainties into present realities they can manage with confidence. This approach embodies his company's mantra: "innovate with confidence."Want to connect with Jeff and his team?

What happens when a GC thinks like a CEO, rolls up his sleeves like a contractor, and leads like a startup founder? You get Mark Smolik, Chief Legal Officer of DHL Supply Chain, and a masterclass in legal leadership you can't afford to miss. This episode is a front-row seat to how Mark turned blue-collar grit, data discipline, and a sharp eye for ROI into a legal department that runs like a high-performance business unit. We unpack: His $37,000-a-claim insight that reshaped risk management. A bold AI deployment that eliminates human review in M&A due diligence. And the why behind DHL's Legal Innovation Summit, June 3–4 in Columbus, where his full team will share the playbook. If you're wondering how to go from ideas to impact or how to just start, this is the episode. One of the best conversations we've had.

There's little more fundamental to every business than revenue. In law firms, for a while now, that's been measured by the billable hour. In most law firms today, we still wrap up hours billed in the same parcel as expertise, performance, and value. That's a BIG problem and it's getting bigger as AI and particularly generative AI is completing tasks faster, better, and cheaper AND starting to advance into complex problem solving too! So, what does that mean for law firms? Can we/should we all immediately convert to fixed fees, subscriptions and/or value-based pricing or something entirely new? What happens if we do? What happens if we don't? Where do we go to figure it out? We chatted about all of that and more on 16 April 2025 in the third podcast in CLI's Legal GenAI Conversations Series on Will GenAI kill the billable hour…ever? Terri Mottershead, Executive Director of the Centre for Legal Innovation was joined by three amazing guests with a wealth of experience to share from Australia and New Zealand: Melissa Lyon, Executive Director & Experience Designer, Hive Legal and CLI Advisory Board member Gene Turner, Managing Director, LawHawk and CLI Advisory Board member Tessa van Duyn, CEO and Practice Leader, Moores and CLI Advisory Board member Topics covered in this episode included: Whether generative AI has put pressure on law firms to reconsider the billable hour, or if it is still mostly hype What are the most viable alternative fee models are and how if generative AI making these more attractive or feasible The key advantages and disadvantages of moving away from the billable hour toward alternative fee arrangements in a GenAI powered legal landscape How law firms have managed the impact of alternative models on lawyer and allied legal professional remuneration, bonuses, performance reviews and career progression The key focus for law firms to have in mind when deciding to move from the billable hour model You'll find details about the other topics we'll be discussing in this series here.

On this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, I, Stewart Alsop, sit down with Federico Ast, founder of Kleros, to explore how decentralized justice systems can resolve both crypto-native and real-world disputes. We talk about the pilot with the Supreme Court in Mendoza, Argentina, where Kleros is helping small claims courts resolve cases faster and more transparently, and how this ties into a broader vision for digital governance using tools like proof of humanity and soulbound tokens. We also get into the philosophical and institutional implications of building a digital republic, and how blockchain can offer new models of legitimacy and truth-making. Show notes and more about Federico's work can be found via his Twitter: @federicoast (https://twitter.com/federicoast) and by joining the Kleros Telegram community.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:38 Claros Pilot Program in Mendoza02:00 Claros and the Legal System05:13 Personal Journey into Crypto07:16 Challenges and Innovations in Kleros18:02 Proof of Humanity and Soulbound Tokens26:54 Incentives and Proof of Humanity27:01 Interesting DAO Court Cases27:21 Prediction Markets and Disputes31:36 Customer Service and Dispute Resolution38:21 Governance and Online Communities40:02 Future of Civilization and Technology47:16 Bounties and Legal Systems49:06 Conclusion and Contact InformationKey InsightsDecentralized Justice Can Bridge the Gap Between Traditional Legal Systems and Web3: Federico Ast explains how Kleros functions as a decentralized dispute resolution system, offering a faster, more transparent, and more accessible alternative to conventional courts. In places like Mendoza, Argentina, Kleros has been piloted in collaboration with the Supreme Court to help resolve small claims that would otherwise take years, demonstrating how blockchain tools can support real-world judicial systems rather than replace them.Crypto Tools Are Most Powerful When Rooted in Real-World Problems: Ast emphasizes that his motivation for building in the blockchain space came not from hype but from firsthand experience with institutional inefficiencies in Argentina—such as corruption, inaccessible courts, and predatory financial systems. For him, crypto is a means to address these structural issues, not an end in itself. This grounded approach contrasts with many in the space who begin with the technology and try to retrofit a use case.Proof of Humanity and Soulbound Tokens Expand the Scope of Legitimate Governance: To address concerns over who gets to participate in decentralized juries, Kleros integrates identity verification through Proof of Humanity and uses non-transferable Soulbound Tokens to grant eligibility. These innovations allow communities—whether geographic, organizational, or digital—to define their own membership criteria, making decentralized courts feel more legitimate and relevant to participants.Decentralized Courts Can Handle Complex, Subjective Disputes: While early versions of Kleros were built for binary disputes (yes/no, Alice vs. Bob), real-world conflicts are often more nuanced. Over time, the platform evolved to support more flexible decision-making, including proportional fault, ranked outcomes, and variable payouts. This adaptability allows Kleros to handle a broader spectrum of disputes, including ambiguous or interpretive cases like those found in prediction markets.Incentive Systems Create New Forms of Justice Participation: Kleros applies game theory to create juror incentives that reward honest and aligned decisions. In systems like Proof of Humanity, it even gamifies fraud detection by offering financial bounties to those who uncover duplicate or fake identities. These economic incentives encourage voluntary participation in public-good functions such as identity verification and dispute resolution.Kleros Offers a Middle Ground Between Corporate Automation and Legal Bureaucracy: Many companies use rigid, automated systems to deny customer claims, leaving individuals with no real recourse except to complain on social media. Kleros offers an intermediate option: a transparent, peer-based adjudication process that can resolve disputes quickly. In pilot programs with fintech companies like Lemon, over 90% of users who lost their case still accepted the result and remained customers, showing how fairness in process can build trust even when outcomes disappoint.Digital Communities Are Becoming the New Foundations of Governance: Ast points out that many people now feel more connected to online communities than to their local or national institutions. Blockchain governance—enabled by tools like Kleros, Proof of Humanity, and decentralized IDs—allows these communities to build their own civil infrastructure. This marks a shift toward what he calls a “digital republic,” where shared values and participation, rather than geography, form the basis of collective decision-making and legitimacy.

Every aspect of legal practice is transforming before our eyes with AI as the catalyst and the enabler.  It's a challenging time for law firm leaders - it's definitely not a role for the faint hearted.

Simon Newcomb, Partner, Clayton Utz Dan Proietto, Chief Executive Partner, Lander & Rogers Prue Tyler, Founder and Director, SHIFT Advisory Limited Topics covered in this session included: Whether law firm leaders need to think differently and lead differently in the AI era Whether AI demanded a fundamental rethink of law firm structures, billing models, and governance and if so, how? How you reskill lawyers, attract new talent, create multidisciplinary teams, and redefine roles to thrive alongside AI How you introduce and embed AI without overwhelming everyone in the process With AI democratising legal knowledge and making legal services/products/solutions more accessible, how law firms can stand out, create, and sustain unique value Where law firms need to be on the AI Maturity Scale in the next 12 months, why, and how they will know if they have hit the mark You'll find details about the other topics we'll be discussing in this series here.
