ENVISION THE FUTURE OF LAW WITH AI

You recognize that professional growth is best nurtured in a law firm environment that realizes AI is becoming the driving engine of the future practice of law. And, that the future is now.

You recognize that professional advancement can only be achieved in a law firm environment which appreciates and nurtures the “cognizantly fit” (Alex Karp).

Understanding and Implementation. To advance professional goals, you are looking for a management team that realizes that traditional law is in the midst of a tectonic shift from Machine Learning to AI driven Large Language Modeling. You recognize the importance of a patient and far-seeing leadership who have an intuitive understanding that in the nascent state of AI evolution, success may not be in a straight line and who are committed to long-term funding and staffing flexible development teams. To put it in its simplest and clearest terms, a firm that is all-in to support its institutional future.

You’re making decisions about AI. Whatever your strategy, the change that AI brings will certainly express itself through your professionals as talent driven innovators. Will you need data scientists, lawyers trained in data science or with intuitive technological savvy? What levels of seniority will best maximize efficiencies of implementation? What career advancement opportunities (apart from economics) can you offer potential talent? How will you integrate AI professionals into the traditional structure of your firm?

Change is coming. While recruitment will be central to what you do, help managing the change, anticipating the outcomes and preparing for them is what we do.

The blending of AI and the familiar practice of law is creating a new dynamic for law firms and their talent resources, a dynamic that is very largely unpredictable.

Firms are striving to be at the top-of- their-technological-game while at the same time maintaining and nurturing the traditional mindset and values of the profession. The corollary, and perhaps unanticipated, result is the genesis of the fusion lawyer.

It’s the emergence of a model that embraces the synthesis of traditional lawyerly analysis and the near unlimited knowledge and processing speed of AI.

Firms whose leadership appreciates the amalgam, the fusion of law and data science are most likely to provide significant career advancement opportunities for their committed professionals.

Lois Weiner and Howard Morris don’t just know law firms, they love them and the industry.  They admire how, notwithstanding commercial pressures, law firms follow the path of integrity and ethics while competing with one another for a limited pool of business.  They also see the problems, the challenges of the partnership business model and they have also seen the panaceas that don’t solve problems, the fads and the fashions that don’t shift the strategic needle.”
