Freelance en création de contenu, Louis Gaillot se sous-facturait, de son propre aveu. Il rejoint alors Anomia, société de formation business pour avocats, comme responsable marketing, et constate que les cabinets apprennent beaucoup mais ne savent pas comment appliquer. Il fonde Ourama, agence de communication pour avocats, notaires, experts-comptables et commissaires de justice, aujourd'hui rattachée à un groupe de quatre sociétés dédiées aux professions réglementées : conseil, marketing, recrutement et cession de cabinets.Dans cet épisode d'Avocats Génération Entrepreneurs, Audrey Chemouli et Manuel Meneghini reçoivent celui qui aide les avocats à devenir entrepreneurs. Au programme : comment choisir son positionnement (une matière, un secteur, une localité) quand on n'a ni réseau ni clientèle de départ ; comment identifier les canaux où se trouve sa cible, des tatoueurs aux restaurateurs ; pourquoi les vidéos courtes fonctionnent rarement seules, et comment les recycler en publicités ciblées sur LinkedIn Ads ; ce qu'un guide téléchargeable rapporte réellement, à condition de rappeler ceux qui le téléchargent.Louis Galliot revient aussi sur le référencement à l'ère de l'IA : fiches Google, Google Ads en région, pages dédiées par métier, contenus qui ne se laissent pas résumer en trois lignes et méritent d'être cités par ChatGPT. Avec un avis tranché sur les avocats qui racontent leur quotidien sur LinkedIn, et sur la question du nom de domaine.Une conversation concrète pour les avocats qui veulent développer leur clientèle sans reproduire ce que fait le confrère d'à côté.Hébergé par Ausha.

In this episode David Beck, Casey Ballard and Uchi Jayawardhena tackle one of the biggest barriers to successful AI adoption: poor data foundations. They explore why data disorganisation, fragmentation and inconsistent governance continue to undermine business processes, long before GenAI enters the picture. With each speaker coming at the problem from a slightly different angle, they examine why even the most advanced technology cannot compensate for poor-quality data. They discuss the myths that hold organisations back, the risks of relying on technology to solve underlying data issues, and the practical steps businesses can take to move from data chaos to data clarity. The episode highlights how strong data foundations enable better decision-making, lower risk, more effective technology adoption and more reliable AI outcomes. Ultimately, the message is simple: if you want AI to deliver value, you need to start with the data.

This week's vexing problem: solo attorney Ernie DiGregorio has no IT department and no fractional vendor to help him weigh AI tools against data security and client confidentiality. Michael Santomaro, principal of Santomaro Law in Providence, walks through how he actually uses AI across his personal injury and criminal law practice, from proofreading pleadings to finding federal court rules he'd never needed before. We also get into hallucination risk, the malpractice argument for using AI at all, and how Michael turned a deeply personal passion into a growing corner of his practice. Key Takeaways Run every draft through AI before it goes out. Michael caught over twenty typos in a single complaint once he started running documents through AI, and in his book, typos in 2026 read as laziness, not just error. Using AI to rework a sentence or a closing argument isn't cheating, it's the same move as using a thesaurus or asking a colleague at the water cooler. AI can get you to an unfamiliar rule fast, but it can't replace reading the cases yourself. Hallucinated citations have already gotten lawyers sanctioned. If you've never touched AI, start small: feed ChatGPT an email you already wrote and see what it changes. Think of it as a curator, not a mystery box. Solo and small firms without in-house IT can still build real AI infrastructure with off-the-shelf add-ins for Microsoft, Adobe, and Lexis.

[00:05:00 - 00:06:00] Michael shares the malpractice warning that pushed him to adopt AI: skip it, and you're falling behind opposing counsel. [00:07:00 - 00:08:00] Michael describes running a redacted complaint through AI and catching over twenty typos his staff missed. [00:08:00 - 00:09:00] Michael uses AI to find unfamiliar federal court rules on his first case removed from state court. [00:09:00 - 00:11:00] Michael pushes back on the idea that using AI to write is cheating, comparing it to a thesaurus or a colleague's input. [00:10:00 - 00:11:00] Michael flags the real risk: hallucinated case law and the sanctions lawyers have already faced for not checking it. [00:13:00 - 00:15:00] Michael's advice for AI beginners: run an email you already wrote through ChatGPT and see what changes. [00:20:00 - 00:23:00] Michael opens up about his personal connection to plant medicine and his work with the Psychedelic Bar Association. [00:26:00 - 00:30:00] Michael breaks down how referral relationships, not big ad spend, drive his caseload.

In this episode, we unpack the growing "Misdiagnosis Effect" in the age of GenAI, where organisations often focus on the technology they think they need rather than the problem they are trying to solve. Casey Ballard (Head of Strategic Applications, UK, US & EMEA), Suzanne Cowan (Head of Corporate & Construction, UK & EMEA) and Uchi Jayawardhena (Head of Data Analytics) explore why successful transformation starts with the problem, not the technology. Drawing on real client conversations and delivery experience, they discuss the value of navigating the often messy discovery process, balancing people, process, technology and data, and choosing the right solution rather than defaulting to GenAI. They also examine the challenges of consistency, governance and repeatability, highlighting why workflow redesign and automation can often deliver greater value than AI alone.

Live from ILTACON | Sponsored by Steno Legal technology used to move on annual planning cycles. Now, even 90 days can feel too slow. Live from ILTACON, David Cowen sits down with Damien Riehl, Solutions Champion at Clio, to unpack what happens when the pace of AI development becomes exponential and the traditional boundaries between law, LegalTech and frontier AI begin to disappear. Their conversation moves from the influx of capital and outside talent into legal to the arrival of foundation model companies as new competitors. But the bigger question is what all of this means for lawyers. Could AI reduce the cost of legal work so dramatically that instead of shrinking the market, it unlocks entirely new demand? In this episode: Why legal technology may have moved beyond the 90-day change cycle Where Damien looks to understand what is coming next in AI Why new talent and capital are flooding into legal What happens when frontier AI companies move directly into LegalTech Why data may become the defining advantage for legal technology companies What curiosity, adaptability, resourcefulness and grit mean in an exponential market Why multi-agent AI represents another major shift in how work gets done How AI could dramatically expand access to legal services Why lawyers could become busier because of AI, not in spite of it Chapters 00:10 | Why LegalTech Is on an Exponential Curve 01:18 | From 12-Month Planning to 90-Day Change Cycles 01:42 | Where to Look to Understand What AI Will Do Next 02:39 | The New Talent Entering the Legal Industry 03:21 | Why Capital Is Flooding Into LegalTech 04:27 | When Frontier AI Companies Enter Legal 05:46 | Disruption Disrupting Disruption 06:28 | What Blockbuster, Nokia and Kodak Can Teach Legal 07:16 | The New Build vs. Buy Question 08:10 | You Don't Have to Keep Up With Everything 09:07 | Curiosity, Adaptability, Resourcefulness and Grit 10:19 | What Was Impossible Three Months Ago Is Possible Today 10:35 | The Shift From AI Answers to AI Agents 11:50 | What Happens to Human Capital in an AI Economy? 12:59 | Could AI Actually Increase Demand for Lawyers? 13:38 | The Opportunity to Serve Unmet Legal Needs The Big Idea What if AI doesn't make the legal market smaller? What if it makes the pie dramatically bigger? If AI lowers the cost of legal services, work that was previously too expensive to justify may suddenly become accessible. That creates a very different future for the profession. Instead of lawyers becoming less necessary because of AI, Damien sees the possibility that lawyers become busier than ever because of AI, while serving legal needs that historically went unmet. The challenge isn't knowing everything that's changing. It's staying curious enough to see what just became possible.

AI is changing litigation - but is the defense bar keeping pace? On Episode 282 of The Lawyer Stories Podcast, Benny Gold sits down with Rob Martorana, Head of Partnerships at Theo Ai, for a fascinating conversation about artificial intelligence, litigation intelligence, case strategy, and the future of legal technology. Rob brings a unique perspective to the conversation. His career has taken him from serving as an Assistant District Attorney and practicing law to years in litigation finance and now the rapidly evolving world of legal AI. We discuss the technology and investment gap between the plaintiff and defense bars, why defense litigation has historically been difficult to standardize, and how AI can help legal teams better understand massive amounts of litigation data. Rob also shares his perspective on case valuation, settlement benchmarking, litigation finance, risk and exposure analysis, and how technology may change the way lawyers evaluate and manage cases.

Most law firms know AI is changing their industry. Fewer know exactly where to start, what to avoid, or how to build a technology strategy that doesn't blow up mid-implementation. Eric Thurston is Executive Chairman of SurePoint Technologies — one of the most widely used legal technology platforms in the country — and a veteran software executive with more than 20 years of experience building and scaling technology companies. He's seen thousands of law firms navigate technology change from the inside. In this episode, Eric joins Scott Love to share a clear-eyed, practical view of where the legal industry stands right now on AI and technology, and what firm leaders need to do to stay ahead of it. You'll learn: How AI has evolved from "just ask ChatGPT" to a genuine business strategy — and what that shift means for law firms right now The two sides of legal technology: practice of law vs. business of law — and why the business side is where most firms are leaving money on the table Why change management is the most underestimated part of any technology implementation The #1 mistake law firm leaders make when buying new tech tools (hint: it's not the tool itself) Why older, monolithic systems can't interact with modern AI — and what to do about it How one firm identified $70,000–$100,000 per attorney per year in recoverable revenue through process improvement alone Why attorneys aren't going away — but the nature of associate work is already changing How forward-thinking firms are rebranding, restructuring, and positioning themselves to be acquisition targets or platform buyers Why data cleanup is the most overlooked prerequisite for any AI initiative 3 action steps law firm leaders can take right now to build a technology strategy that actually works Eric also shares details on SurePoint's annual Ignite Conference — September 14–16 in Savannah, Georgia — and the firm's suite of practice management, business development, and legal intelligence solutions.

Executive Summary Jared sits down with Carly Savar, general counsel at Steno, to unpack what actually happens when a law firm signs up with an AI vendor. Carly explains why reading the fine print matters more than any feature list, and what separates a vendor you can trust from one that's just telling you what you want to hear. Key Takeaways Read the actual data processing agreement yourself. Don't assume a vendor's security is handled just because they signed a service level agreement. Push for a zero-day retention agreement, and ask about the LLMs your vendor is built on, not just the vendor itself. SOC 2 Type 2 certification means a company's controls held up over a full year. SOC 2 Type 1 only proves a single snapshot in time. Not all training is created equal. Aggregated usage data is usually fine. Your client's confidential content should never go into a model. New billing ethics guidance says you can only charge for the time you actually spent, not the time an AI tool saved you. About the Guest Carly Savar is general counsel at Steno, a litigation support and court reporting technology company. She spent years litigating before founding her own legal recruiting company and eventually moving in-house. Carly now negotiates AI and data agreements from both sides of the table, as counsel to a legal tech vendor and as a buyer evaluating other vendors herself.

Executive Summary On this episode of Adventures in Legal Tech, Jared Correia talks with Phillip Greer, CEO of Best Lawyers, about how AI is rewriting the rules of legal search and firm operations. Greer breaks down the real differences between SEO, AEO, and GEO, then explains how he turned his own company into a shop full of vibe coders. It's a practical look at getting found online and getting comfortable with AI at the same time. Key Takeaways SEO isn't dead. It's the foundation that feeds AEO and GEO, the practices that get law firms found inside AI search tools and chatbots. Quality, well-structured content and citations from reputable third-party sites matter more than backlink farming ever did. Legal consumers across every generation are shifting from typed search terms to conversations with AI tools, often without realizing it. Building an AI-literate firm starts with a safe, governed environment where non-technical staff can experiment without touching client data. Start small. Pick something fun, not a client matter, to learn how an AI tool handles data before you roll anything out firmwide.

In der 380. Episode von Irgendwas mit Recht spricht Marc mit Dr. Friedrich Gebert und Dr. Christof Schneider von ARQIS. Friedrich ist Managing Partner, Christof leitet als Partner den Bereich Legal Innovation and AI. Beide erzählen von ihrem Weg zwischen Aktienrecht, M&A und Legal Tech und zeigen, wie ARQIS Abläufe wie die Chain-of-Title-Prüfung in der Due Diligence digitalisiert und für agentisches Arbeiten vorbereitet. Es geht um den Wandel vom Stundenhonorar hin zu Festpreisen, um die Aufbereitung interner Prozesse für den KI-Einsatz und um die Ausbildung des Nachwuchses, wenn KI-gestützte Simulationen klassische Lernkurven ergänzen. Warum verändert die W&I-Versicherung den M&A-Markt nachhaltiger als gedacht? Wieso sehen beide im Rechtsmarkt bislang keinen KI-Hype? Wie lässt sich anwaltliche Arbeit jenseits der Stunde bepreisen? Und welche neuen Mandantengruppen erreicht eine Kanzlei künftig durch mehr Preistransparenz? Antworten auf diese und viele weitere Fragen erhaltet Ihr in dieser Folge von IMR. Viel Spaß!

Lawyers are a unique group often characterized as being hyper-resistant to change, but is that really true? As technology changes, lawyers must adapt, but it is important to appreciate their tendency toward skepticism and caution to be able to effectively help them adopt new tools. To discuss this topic, Dennis and Tom welcome Julia Montgomery to learn about her processes for change management in law firms. Julia talks about the unique traits of attorneys, what real change management should look like in legal businesses, and how her love for legal led her to a career helping lawyers organize their work with effective, measurable strategies powered by  technology and good practices. As always, stay tuned for the parting shots, that one tip, website, or observation you can use the second the podcast ends. Have a technology question for Dennis and Tom?

What happens when the brightest minds in legal, technology, and innovation come together to shape the future of our profession? Welcome to the Legally Speaking Podcast Legal Tech Talk 2026 miniseries. As the UK's number one legal podcast and show ranked in the top 1% of podcasts globally, we're delighted to be returning as the official media partner for Legal Tech Talk for the third time. Having supported this event since the beginning.

Across this special series, we'll be speaking with some of the world's leading legal professionals, founders, technologists, change makers to explore what's next for law. Because our mission remains the same. Inspiring legal minds, transforming legal futures. Let's get into it. Mia Ihamuotila is a Helsinki-based legal transformation specialist, legal tech and design lawyer, and the founder of the Legal Design Summit. She also opened Legal Tech Talk with a dance performance exploring the evolution of law.

In this episode, we explore how GenAI is being integrated into real-world document review, and why hybrid approaches are fast becoming the standard. Stephanie Barrett (Director, Legal Technology), together with Caoimhe Powell (Director, Disputes - Digital Legal Delivery) and Craig Glover (Head of Disputes, Digital Legal Delivery), unpack how GenAI and technology-assisted review (TAR) work best in combination. Drawing on live delivery experience, they show how hybrid workflows balance contextual insight with the precision, consistency and defensibility required in high stakes matters, and why the best results come from combining the right tools, not choosing between them.

Mary sits down with Nick Fleisher, Co-Founder and CEO of Sandstone, to pull back the curtain on legal tech's fastest-rising company. They dig into why great software still matters in the age of AI, how Sandstone is solving the permissions and context problem that's plagued in-house legal for years, why law firms will never out-build tech companies, and how an AI-native team is redefining what it means to build lean.

He believes the real challenge isn't just adopting AI, but getting teams aligned, open to change, and involved in shaping workflows so the technology actually delivers value. He also warns that legal departments and law firms are heading toward a pricing and service tension: if firms don't reduce costs and adapt, clients may bring more capabilities in-house.So why should you be listening in? You can hear Rob and Manuel discussing:- AI Strategy Mattering More Than Tools- Teams Needing a Mindset Change- Client Costs and Values Shifting- Talking to Clients About Shortcomings- Adapting Workflows for Real Efficiency.Connect with Manuel Mesquita here - https://www.linkedin.com/in/manuel-mesquita-93635314/

Saumya Banker, co-founder and CEO of Donna AI, joins host KJ to pull back the curtain on the operational dysfunction hiding inside the legal industry. After watching his cousin's divorce case drag on due to missed communication, opaque billing, and overwhelmed staff, Saumya interviewed 75 lawyers and job-shadowed firms to map the real workflow. What he found: 40% of small law firm work is purely administrative, and AI can handle it. Donna AI is building the operating system for solo and small personal law firms so lawyers can take on more clients, charge less, and give more people a real shot at justice. Key Takeaways: 4:51 — Why hourly billing is broken and who's really paying the price 8:27 — What Saumya found when he job-shadowed 75 lawyers across different practice areas 16:22 — When a case stalls, who ends up paying the real price 18:39 — What Donna AI actually automates inside a small law firm Quote of the Show (1:00):"AI is not here to take your job. It's here to supercharge you. The folks who use AI are going to take the jobs of the folks who don't." – Saumya Banker Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

Last month, when Anthropic, developer of the popular AI assistant Claude, announced a major push into legal, much of the coverage in the media and the buzz on social media focused on what the announcement meant for law firms, in-house legal teams, and the legal tech ecosystem.   But the less talked about side of the story was potentially the more impactful – Anthropic's explicit commitment to access to justice, highlighted by a direct partnership with the Free Law Project and its CourtListener free legal research platform. Suddenly, anyone with a legal problem and a chat window could access verified, authoritative legal materials, significantly reducing the risk of using a general AI assistant to answer legal questions.   As the Free Law Project itself put it: "A response built on verified CourtListener data is categorically different from one built on even the best model alone."   In today's episode, host Bob Ambrogi sits down with Mike Lissner, executive director and co-founder of the Free Law Project, the nonprofit behind CourtListener, and Nathan Dahlberg, the Free Law Project's AI developer who actually built the CourtListener connector. They get into what was announced and why it matters, how the technology works under the hood, and, most importantly, the bigger questions it raises — about the potential impact on access to justice, and on the legal research industry..

In legal practice, it is easy to start measuring yourself by whether you can cover every detail, do everything perfectly, and keep grinding through whatever is in front of you. If that is not the way you are wired, it can feel like there is something wrong with you, instead of recognizing that the job is rewarding a narrow set of behaviors.Alex Su describes this as game selection. In business roles, especially sales, marketing, and business development, success often depends on trying things, learning what works, moving on from what does not, and prioritizing the things that actually move the needle. The question becomes less about whether you can fix yourself into a better lawyer and more about whether you are playing the right game for your strengths.In this episode of The Former Lawyer Podcast, Sarah Cottrell talks with returning guest Alex Su about what lawyers need to understand when they move out of practice and into business roles. They talk about why legal training can make that shift feel uncomfortable, how performance-based work rewards a different kind of resilience, and why the right role can make strengths visible that law may have treated like problems.1:43 - Alex's move from practicing law into a business career in the legal space3:55 - Why business roles reward a different skill set than legal practice5:49 - The comfort of hours worked and why the shift to ROI can feel difficult7:21 - What changes when the goal is producing outcomes instead of putting in more hours9:15 - Why experimentation requires a different relationship with failure10:28 - How perfectionism can become counterproductive in performance-based roles13:05 - When traits that are treated like problems in law can work well elsewhere14:54 - Alex's idea of game selection and choosing the right role for your strengths21:08 - What Latitude partners do after leaving the practice of law24:22 - Why business roles require ruthless prioritization27:10 - The kind of resilience that business roles require30:33 - How legal practice moralizes failure in a way other roles often do not33:56 - Why a successful pivot requires knowing yourself and staying a student36:34 - Head intelligence, instinct, and emotional intelligence in non-practicing roles39:39 - Alex's advice for lawyers considering a pivot to sales, business development, or businessMentioned In How Lawyers Can Rethink Their Skills for Business with Alex SuFrom Biglaw to Legal Tech with Alex SuAlex Su's SubstackAlex Su on LinkedInLatitude Legal | Legal Partner Job PostingFirst Steps to Leaving the LawFormer Lawyer CollaborativeI'm closing enrollment for my self-paced group program, the Former Lawyer Collaborative, permanently on August 31st, 2026.

Dean of the College of Business at Anderson University, Steve Nannies, joins the show to discuss the accelerating threat of Artificial Intelligence on the American workforce. Citing major industry studies from SHRM, Nannies reveals that 23 million U.S. jobs are already 50% automated, with over 9 million knowledge-worker roles facing total elimination by 2030. The interview explores how generative AI is shifting from replacing entry-level tasks to disrupting highly specialized white-collar fields like corporate accounting and legal courtroom defense, leaving traditional professionals to figure out how to remain valuable in a rapidly changing digital economy.
