"We're a technologically forward company. If you're not comfortable with technology and learning new things and being willing to experiment and take the time to learn, this is not the right fit for you. We tell them right away, this is what we're about, and we actually do paid time at the firm to walk them through and see that." "Step one is find somebody that knows what they're doing to protect yourself and educate you on the basics. Step two is be curious - I'm a YouTube junkie and I follow thought leaders in AI and technology space. Step three is join groups and get coaching, because no elite athlete is where they are without coaching." "AI isn't gonna replace lawyers necessarily, but lawyers that use AI are gonna replace lawyers that don't. Document review, contract drafting, simple wills - there's no way AI isn't gonna completely replace lawyers doing that. Your value will shift to litigation, personal connections, and strategy rather than basic document creation."
