I am writing this for you, the lawyer of the future.
You love being a lawyer. You get paid to think and clients seek out your advice. You glide through complexity that is so high stakes it used to make you nauseous. That was years ago. Now, you delight in a perfectly-formatted recitals clause.
But you never felt quite at home at your law firm.
Billable hours never made sense. You care about your clients but, under this model, your interests are never truly aligned. Plus, the fees can be a little high grotesque. You wince when a call with your boss costs a client five thousand dollars.
Of course, you could never say this out loud.
Your firm’s aversion to change makes the least sense of all. Things are moving fast. So fast. You can feel it: AI is getting really good.
There was that icy, sunny February weekend when, for fun, you tried building a website with AI. It was dazzling and it lit a part of you on fire. You instantly knew your profession would change.
You realized it already has.
When your friends ask – and they always ask – you explain that your job is safe. In fact, AI will make it even better: it will take over the mind numbing grunt work that you hate most. Or at least, it should. But in your actual day-to-day, not much has changed. Your firm is blocking new tools, re-revising its AI strategy, lingering on the sidelines.
Something big is going on and you want to be part of it. There has to be a better way. You just know it.
I am writing to you from the law firm of the future. Finally, we found you.
