Every firm has AI now. Almost none have an advantage.
I help law firm leaders turn AI from scattered experiments into a compounding advantage, before the gap closes on them.
In the room with law firms, bar associations & legal teams
The gap isn't about tools. It's about compounding.
Most firms are running pilots: a tool or two, a few enthusiasts, no real change. A smaller group has made AI part of the firm. Every quarter, that group pulls further ahead. Drag through time and watch the gap open.
Capability over time
Interactive · drag the slider
Same starting point. The firms that make AI part of how they work pull away a little more every quarter, and the advantage compounds.
Not a thesis. Twenty-five years of operating experience.
Attorneys trained
Legal AI use cases built, not theorized
In firm conference rooms, in CLE programs, and on live matters where the output had to hold up.
Where serious firms start.
Five ways to work together. Each stands on its own. Begin where the leverage is greatest, then let it compound.
I think out loud, several times a week.
No hype, no doom. Just what's actually happening in legal AI and what to ignore.
I've sat where your partners sit.
Twenty-five years as a CEO, CFO, and SVP. A Wharton MBA. I've made the ROI calls, managed the skeptics, and answered to the board. So I don't lead with technology. I lead with the business problem.
