In this episode, we explore how AI is reshaping entry-level roles in law firms and what it means for the next generation of legal professionals. With firms increasingly investing in AI tools for high-volume, foundational tasks, like disclosure and early-stage case preparation, junior lawyers are facing a changing landscape. This shift raises important questions about skills development, career progression, and the future of legal education.

We dive into:

• The evolving role of junior lawyers: How AI is taking over manual, high-volume tasks and what that means for experiential learning.
• Essential skills for the AI era: Why critical thinking and an "AI-first" mindset are becoming the most valuable human contributions in law.
• Hybrid expertise: How future lawyers will need to combine legal knowledge with technical acumen to guide AI effectively.

But the reality looks a lot more like a series of pivots, risks, and moments you can’t predict.

And sometimes the bravest move… is stepping away from the thing that once defined you.

This episode is about those moments — and what happens when you follow them.

Today I sit down with Sahar Farooqi (CEO and founder of Legalencia), a well-known face on LinkedIn who spent 15 years as a barrister before moving into legal transformation at Harneys… and eventually launching his own consultancy (Legalencia). He’s one of the few lawyers who has lived every corner of the profession: crime, civil, commercial, in-house, partner, and now founder.

Sahar shares the story behind the boldest decisions of his life including leaving the bar after 15 years to step into a world most lawyers still tiptoe around: transformation.

But this isn’t a conversation about innovation. It’s a conversation about reinvention.

We dig into why junior lawyers are entering the most high-stakes decade the profession has ever seen, how LinkedIn unexpectedly flipped the direction of his career, and the new rules of success in a legal world where talent and technology are now in a race, and only those who adapt will win.

Most lawyers still believe their degrees and titles speak for themselves.

But clients don’t buy credentials, they buy clarity, confidence, and connection.

And that starts with visibility. The right kind.

In this episode, I’m joined by Tasleem Ahmad Fateh, founder of the LinkedIn Creators Club and the Robinhood Course — a free program helping professionals build influence and trust through authentic content.

Known as the “Robin Hood of LinkedIn,” Tas has built one of the fastest-growing personal brands by giving away everything most strategists charge for.

He helps lawyers, consultants, and creators turn visibility into meaningful business — without selling their soul or faking authority.

We talk about why visibility isn’t the same as credibility — and how lawyers can stop chasing likes and start building trust.

Tas shares honest insights on personal branding, client psychology, and showing up with purpose online.

But many can’t say, with confidence, how much they actually earn.

Silence around money isn’t just awkward — it’s expensive.

And for many lawyers, it’s keeping them financially stuck.

Today’s episode digs into a quiet cultural norm in the legal profession that shapes careers, mental health, and long-term financial stability: salary secrecy.

I’m joined by Jono Randell-Nash, ex-lawyer turned independent financial advisor for lawyers,

and Carla Hoppe, former corporate solicitor, ex-Director of International Tax & Transaction Services at EY, and founder of Wealthbright, an award-winning financial education partner helping law firms build financially confident lawyers.

We explore the culture of not asking, not questioning, and not talking about money in law firms — and the emotional, practical, and financial damage this silence creates.

You’ll hear insights on:

Why salary secrecy persists in UK legal culture

How lack of information fuels anxiety, especially for new lawyers

The link between protected characteristics and poorer financial health

Why financial capability depends more on education than intelligence or background

How gender, mental health, and socioeconomic status shape financial outcomes

The dangers of default pensions and why the “six-figure tick box” can cost you £100,000+

Why understanding risk profiles, insurance, and emergency funds should come before “the sexy stuff” like investing

How comparison culture distorts what “wealth” actually means

Why the obsession with six-figure salaries blinds people to what actually builds long-term financial wellbeing

This conversation sheds light on a problem many lawyers suffer quietly — and provides a starting point for taking control of your financial future with clarity, confidence, and honesty.

But what if that moment never comes?

The legal world is changing faster than ever and those who redefine success, rather than chase security, are the ones shaping its future.

From fear of failure to the rise of AI, this episode dives into what it really means to evolve as a modern lawyer.

From Ari’s leap from traditional law to remote freedom, to Christine’s reflections on perfectionism and imposter syndrome, to Dhrashi and Rob’s insights on the AI-human connection — this conversation is a blueprint for lawyers who want more than the safe path.

You’ll hear how courage, mindset, and adaptability are becoming the new legal superpowers — and why the future of law belongs to those willing to jump before they’re ready.

At Linklaters, they’re living it.

Resistance is real, but so is the momentum.

Because the lawyers who embrace change won’t just survive the AI era, they’ll define it.

In this episode, I’m joined by Sonia Cisse, Partner and Head of AI & Technology at Paris office, Linklaters, one of the world’s leading international law firms.

Sonia is helping shape how one of the biggest names in law integrates artificial intelligence, from internal adoption to culture, governance, and innovation.

We talk about how AI is transforming the culture of law and what it takes to lead that change inside a global firm.

Sonia shares candid insights on:

Why lawyers resist and what finally gets them excited about AI.

How Linklaters builds AI literacy across thousands of lawyers worldwide.

Balancing innovation with confidentiality and client trust.

Why the future of junior lawyers isn’t disappearing, it’s evolving.

And how tomorrow’s lawyers will blend legal expertise with AI fluency.

This conversation goes beyond hype.

It’s a look inside how one of the world’s top law firms is actually implementing generative AI, responsibly, strategically, and with a sense of curiosity that’s changing what it means to be a lawyer.

In law, perception shapes power.

And for women lawyers, style can be the silent language of authority.

So what if your wardrobe could build confidence, and your brand?

Today, we're speaking to Estelle Winsett, a former lawyer turned personal stylist for women attorneys. After seven years in practice, she pivoted from legal briefs to wardrobe briefs helping women in law dress with purpose, power, and presence. Today, she runs a full-time styling business dedicated to helping women lawyers show up with confidence in every room they enter.

We talk about the psychology of style, how colour, fit, and small details influence authority and confidence. Estelle shares practical examples, from courtroom strategy to conference presence, and explains how dressing with intention can change not just how others see you, but how you see yourself.

You’ll hear about:

How different colours evoke trust, power, and approachability (and why white was a genius choice in the Johnny Depp trial).

The hidden link between clothing fit, body language, and credibility.

Why consistency in your personal style strengthens your professional brand, both in person and on LinkedIn.

How Estelle’s journey from lawyer to stylist taught her that confidence can start with what’s hanging in your closet.

This episode is for anyone who wants to show up, stand out, and own the room, without saying a word.

Most law firms think the “AI revolution” is coming someday.

But it’s already here and it’s reshaping everything from hiring to billing models.

The question now isn’t if lawyers will adapt.

It’s how fast and who will get left behind.

In this episode, I dive into the massive transformations happening in law right now from junior lawyers quitting in record numbers to legal departments being replaced by automation.

You’ll hear how:

AI is reshaping the roles of paralegals and junior lawyers, forcing firms to rethink training, culture, and career progression.

Major players like Microsoft and Freshfields are restructuring their legal teams and what that signals for the entire industry.

The first AI-driven law firm is already regulated and changing the economics of legal work.

And why the future of law belongs to those who learn to combine tech fluency with human trust, creativity, and business acumen.

I also share why I founded the Global AI Skills Summit for Lawyers a global community and free training initiative helping lawyers future-proof their careers.

If you’re a lawyer wondering where your role fits in this new AI-powered world this episode will help you see what’s coming, what’s at stake, and how to stay ahead.

They talk about themselves. Their credentials. Their features.

But not their clients’ real fears, needs, or goals.

And in law, where trust is everything, that’s a costly mistake.

In this episode, I'm sitting down with Alana Sparrow, Chief Branding Officer and Co-Founder of The Foundry for Art Design + Culture, a creative agency that helps businesses build bold, human brands that actually connect.

We dive into why most legal messaging falls flat, what branding really means beyond logos, and how law firms can build trust by actually listening and mirroring the language their clients are already using.

Alana shares her honest take on the problem with overly polished legal brands, why LinkedIn isn’t always the best place to listen to your audience, and how empowering your people to show up online can be a game changer.

Now, 1054 lawyers are signed up...

..To the Global AI Skills Summit for Lawyers 

We (myself and Sophie Best) wanted to create a free training space for lawyers to learn about how to leverage AI in their every day work.

Since announcing the skills summit, I've had an incredible response that has completely shocked me.

- Lawyers thanking me for putting this together 

- Top experts reaching out to offer their help

- Students asking to join to upskill

For me, this has become more than an event. 

It's becoming a movement. 

Legal professionals joining together.

Community of like-minded lawyers.

And this is what makes me genuinely happy.

Because this is what the industry needs.

We're experiencing the biggest change yet.

So I’ve created an exclusive series to go beyond the buzz with founder of Garfield Law, Philip Young.

In this episode, we dig into the tension between regulation and innovation, when does it protect us, and when does it hold us back?

And what does good regulation actually look like in a world driven by AI?

A landmark moment for the legal industry: The Solicitors Regulatory Authority has officially authorised Garfield.Law, the first ever AI-driven law firm regulated to provide legal services in England and Wales.

This isn’t just another firm using AI to streamline admin. Garfield.Law is entirely AI-driven, offering small businesses an AI litigation assistant to recover unpaid debts, guiding them through the small claims process all the way to trial.

But the truth is, that story is often a myth.

Partnership isn’t a straight path. It’s political, unpredictable, and sometimes out of reach.

So how do you really know if you’re on track?

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on what really happens when law firms decide who makes a partner.

What if the generation everyone underestimates is actually the one reshaping the future of law?

In this episode, I’m joined by Natalie Thomas, Legal Business Analyst at Perkins Coie. From Oxford University to Tesco, and now helping launch the London office of a US law firm, her journey proves there’s no single path into law.

We talk about how Gen Z challenges hierarchy, embraces efficiency, and collaborates differently and why those skills might be exactly what the legal industry needs. Natalie also shares her unconventional route into law, the importance of mentorship and social mobility, and why diversity isn’t just nice-to-have, but a business imperative.

If you’ve ever wondered how the next generation will transform law firms, this conversation is the answer.

Or automation.

Or the next big legal tech startup.

It’s about pressure.

Possibility.

And the choices we make before the industry makes them for us.

In this episode, I’m bringing you conversations with the people rethinking what legal practice will look like when AI is no longer a “future” problem, it’s the present.

Kyle Torrington

Kyle, co-founder of Loft Legal and AirCounsel, has seen entire workflows shrink from hours to minutes.

Peter Wright

Early adoption comes with its own risks.

Peter, Managing Director at Digital Law, warns that rushing into tech without guardrails can backfire—hard.

We discuss why every firm now needs an AI policy, how to train staff to use tools safely, and the hidden compliance traps lurking in everyday software.

Richard Macklin

If you were building a law firm from scratch today, would it look anything like the traditional model?

Richard—ex-global vice chair of Dentons and now a world-class leadership coach—says no.

Rainmaking has always been the domain of a select few.

Jody and James, co-founders of Postalize, see AI changing that—fast.

“How will I find clients?”

But what if it’s not as hard as you think?

What if you’re overcomplicating it?

You don’t need permission to build a legal career on your terms.

You just need to start seeing opportunities where others see limits.

It’s not about luck.

It’s about mindset.

Today I'm sitting down with Chiara, a freelance immigration law paralegal. She started out looking for potential clients on a freelance job board called Upwork and now she's living the dream, travelling the world, working on her terms as a digital nomad paralegal. In this episode, she explains exactly how she created this life for herself.

As law firms race to adopt AI and legal tech, one truth becomes impossible to ignore:

No tool can fix a trust gap.

And without cultural buy-in, even the best solutions will fail.

This isn’t about resisting change.

It’s about designing it with people at the centre.

In this conversation, I’m sitting down with Sophie Best, CEO, Legal Tech Consultant & Educator, who helps lawyers and legal teams navigate the fast-changing world of AI, legal tech, education, and community.

We talk about why legal tech adoption keeps failing and how firms can shift from selling tools to solving real problems.

Sophie unpacks the trust gap, cultural resistance, and what it really takes to make AI work for lawyers, not against them.

💡 Whether you're in legal ops, innovation, or practicing law this conversation will change how you think about technology in legal.

So I’ve created an exclusive series to go beyond the buzz with founder of Garfield Law, Philip Young.  

In this episode, we dig into the tension between regulation and innovation, when does it protect us, and when does it hold us back?

And what does good regulation actually look like in a world driven by AI?

A landmark moment for the legal industry:

The Solicitors Regulatory Authority has officially authorised Garfield.Law, the first ever AI-driven law firm regulated to provide legal services in England and Wales.

This isn’t just another firm using AI to streamline admin. Garfield.Law

is entirely AI-driven, offering small businesses an AI litigation assistant to recover unpaid debts, guiding them through the small claims process all the way to trial.

But what if AI could rewrite those rules and make access to justice a reality for everyone?

In this episode, I sit down with Philip Young, founder of Garfield, an AI-powered platform helping users generate and submit legal claims automatically. Philip shares a huge update, how Garfield is already integrated with courts, Companies House, and accounting software, and why this signals a major shift in how law firms will operate in the future.

We talk about:

AI-generated court claims

The rise of highly integrated law firms

Why democratising justice could reshape corporate behaviour

And why lawyers sleeping under desks might soon be a thing of the past

As law firms explore the potential of AI, one thing becomes clear:

You can’t innovate safely without a compliance mindset.

This isn’t about slowing down.

It’s about building smarter.

In this conversation, I'm sitting down with Peter Wright, managing director at Digital Law.

We unpack the uncomfortable truths law firms need to face about AI, data privacy, and digital tools.

The hidden dangers of transcription tools and instant messaging apps in law firms.

Why AI tools must be vetted and the risk of not doing your due diligence.

This episode is an absolute must for you if you're running a law firm, it could be the difference between staying protected or facing reputational damage and serious fines.

Most of them don’t realise what’s coming.

But here’s the truth:

AI isn’t a future risk.

It’s a right now disruption.

And yet, too many firms are still asleep at the wheel.

In this very frank conversation with Kyle Torrington, the co-founder of Loft Legal, a tech-driven online law firm and AirCounsel, an AI-powered contract drafter for attorneys. 

We discuss which parts of legal practice are on the brink of being replaced by AI, what the real role of lawyers could look like in just a few years, and how those who act now can future-proof their careers. He shared perspectives on how tech & AI can shape the role of law firms I’ve never heard before.

What works in New York might fall flat in Tokyo.

If you’re building relationships across borders, cultural intelligence matters just as much as people skills.

Genuine curiosity beats clever pitches.

Ask. Listen. Learn.

Understand their world before you try to fit yours into it.

Because global networking isn’t just about who you know,

It’s about how you build that relationship.

In this conversation I sit down with Steve Fretzin, We discuss how networking can backfire when done wrong—how the wrong approach can actually push people away.

We also break down how lawyers can optimise their networking strategy, by focusing on relationship-building over pitching.

It was losing the rainmaker.

The partner who brings in the big clients.

The one who could walk out & take half the revenue with them.

For decades, that’s how law firms grew.

But things are shifting.

AI isn’t just automating admin.

It’s DEMOCRATISING business development.

This doesn’t replace your rainmakers.

It amplifies what makes them great

So you’re not left exposed.

So growth doesn’t depend on one person.

Because the real risk isn’t losing your rainmaker.

It’s building a firm that only works if they stay.

Today, I'm sitting down with Jody Glidden and James Wang, the founders of Postilize, a groundbreaking AI platform that’s transforming how law firms build relationships and win business.

Jody is a serial legal tech entrepreneur and the brains behind Introhive, a leading CRM intelligence platform.

James is a BlackBerry veteran who led global ISV strategy, secured over $30M in partner-driven revenue.

Today we talk about a topic that I've never heard people discuss, will AI kill the traditional law firm rainmaker?

He’s shown other lawyers that it's possible to show their personality and, dare I say, be "human" on here.

And for his firm?

The results are amazing.

- Top talent wants to work there.

- His posts are talking points at networking events or client meetings.

The culture of not asking. 

Not talking about money. 

Salary secrecy 

But this silence comes at a cost. 

It can create confusion. 

It can reinforce inequality. 

It can break trust. 

It can keep people stuck. 

Understanding your worth isn’t just about numbers.

It’s about building a life that works for you.

Staying in the dark isn't just disempowering.

It's expensive.

In this episode, I sit down with Jono Randell-Nash, ex lawyer turned independent financial advisor for lawyers.

But they’re not even close.

And no one’s telling them.

Some are chasing an invisible finish line.

Because the steps to partnership? Often they're not written down.

Or the goalposts keep shifting.

 So is it still worth it? 

That depends on one thing: 

Clarity. Clarity from firms. 

Clarity from leaders. 

Clarity for associates to make empowered decisions about their careers.

Because without it, we’re fuelling a cycle of disillusionment, quiet quitting, and talent loss.  

In this exclusive conversation with Brandon Renken, trial partner at Mayer Brown and Helen Pamely, ex law firm partner, we discuss:

– Why so many associates feel misled about the path to partnership

– What really happens behind closed doors when partnership decisions are made

– The silence around feedback and how it creates confusion and resentment

– The surprising metrics that matter (and the ones that shouldn’t)

– How transparency or the lack of it shapes the future of law firms

Because they can look exactly the same. 

Let me explain

You grew up in chaos.

Maybe not dramatic. But unpredictable.

Emotionally charged.

Always on edge.

So you adapted.

Now?

You’re praised for the same patterns that kept you safe as a kid.

Clients love your hustle.

Colleagues call you a machine.

You get rewarded for the very thing that’s burning you out.

But here’s the truth:

That urgency?

That over-functioning?

That need to be perfect?

It might not be ambition.

It might be your nervous system stuck in survival.

Today I'm sitting down with Casey Berglund,TEDx speaker, host of The Purpose Map™ Podcast, founder of Worthy and Well, and creator of the Let Your Body Lead™ Professional Certification. She's also the co-author of The Mind-Body Way: The Embodied Leader's Path to Resilience, Connection, and Purpose. She teaches you how to listen to your body, make better decisions, and build a career that actually feels good. 

In this conversation, we discuss how the way you work today might be rooted in how you survived as a child. How to find a way of working and a life that aligns with what you actually want.

Calendars. Schedulers. 

But what if we’re managing the wrong thing?

Because time isn’t the problem.

You can have an empty day and still feel exhausted.

You can finish early and still feel drained.

The real issue?

Energy.

No one teaches us to manage it.

But it’s the thing that fuels everything else.

So maybe it’s not about how many hours you work.

It’s about how you feel during them.

Or automation.

Or the next hot legal tech startup.

It’s about people.

Visibility.

Culture.

And the conversations we’re brave enough to have.

In this episode, I'm showcasing the key conversations that are defining the future of law.

Holly Cope & Helen Pamely

The best-kept secret in the future of your law career?

It’s how marketable you are.

Jonathan Watmough

That’s why events like FutureLaw matters.

It’s coming for tasks.

And here’s the real shift:

If your value is tied only to what a system can do faster,

It’s time to rethink what you’re really selling.

Lawyers who will thrive aren’t the ones who fear AI.

They’re the ones who double down on the one thing machines can’t do:

Trust.

Judgment.

Human connection.

Creative strategy in grey areas.

AI might draft the contract.

You’ll still be the one they call before they sign it.

A landmark moment for the legal industry:

The Solicitors Regulatory Authority has officially authorised Garfield.Law, the first ever AI-driven law firm regulated to provide legal services in England and Wales.

This isn’t just another firm using AI to streamline admin. Garfield.Law is entirely AI-driven, offering small businesses an AI litigation assistant to recover unpaid debts, guiding them through the small claims process all the way to trial.

I went straight to the source.

I interviewed the founder of Garfield.Law, Philip Young.

And I asked the questions everyone wants the answers to:

It feels like you’re breaking some silent rule.

Here’s what most won’t tell you:

Doing law differently doesn’t make you less of a lawyer.

Step into another country thinking your way is the only way, and you’ll fail fast.

Success in law isn’t just about knowing the rules—it’s about understanding the culture behind them.

I’ve seen lawyers walk into international markets assuming they can operate like they do at home. They hit a wall. Because legal strategy, business and connections is shaped by culture.

In some places, contracts mean everything. In others, personal relationships hold more weight than a signed agreement.

Cultural intelligence isn’t just a “nice-to-have” skill. It’s the difference between landing clients and losing them.

Today, I'm sitting down with George Summerfield, partner at K&L Gates Beijing office. He has worked in patent litigation for over 30 years and was listed in The Best Lawyers in America® for patent litigation in 2024. After a long career in the US, George decided to make a career change and move to China. 

We explore the challenges and insights of cross-cultural experiences, practicing law in a completely different culture, adapting to new norms, and building meaningful connections.

But staying miserable might.

Lawyers panic about stepping away.

The fear? 

That a career break means career suicide. 

That law firms will blacklist you. 

That you’ll never make it back.

But here’s the truth: that mindset is outdated.

The real risk isn’t taking a break.

It’s burning out in a system that tells you survival is success.

Today I'm sitting down with Brian Dixon, digital nomad lawyer, fractional general counsel. He offers tailored legal solutions to digital nomads and remote-first companies whilst living in Bali. 

We discuss this topic - is it taboo to take a career break in law or could it be your competitive advantage?

Because sometimes, it feels familiar.

If you grew up in an unsupportive or estranged family, you might have learned early on that approval and safety come at a cost. Maybe you had to compete for attention. Maybe speaking up led to punishment. Maybe you learned that keeping the peace was more important than being heard.

Fast forward to your career.

You enter a workplace where toxic dynamics thrive, where leaders play favourites, pit employees against each other, or make you feel like you have to prove your worth every day. And instead of seeing the red flags, you normalise them. You tolerate the dysfunction. Maybe, without realizing it, you even contribute to it.

Because once upon a time, that was survival.

Today I'm sitting down with Becca Bland, a journalist, researcher, and leading advocate for family estrangement awareness. She founded Stand Alone, the UK’s only non-profit for estranged individuals, and has driven groundbreaking research and policy change. Her work has been featured in The Guardian, BBC, The New York Times, and more. 

Today, we’re discussing how your background can shape your legal career especially when it comes to recognising (or overlooking) toxic workplaces. Why do some people stay in unhealthy work environments? And how does past experience make dysfunction feel…normal? Let’s break it down.

Depends who you ask.

Yes, law is complex.

Yes, AI has limitations.

Some lawyers say:

“AI can’t do what I do, it took me years to get here.”

“We’re not feeling the impact yet, and we won’t for a while.”

Maybe. But history tells us one thing: Revolutions don’t announce themselves.

By the time everyone agrees we’re in one, it’s already happened.

Today myself, Holly Cope and Helen Pamely, sit down with Senior Partner at SMB, Simon Goldberg.

We debate this topic, is AI taking over the legal industry?

And the worst part? By the time you feel it, it’s already too late.

Because burnout doesn’t hit like a breakdown. It creeps in quietly:

You stop feeling proud of your work.

Small tasks feel overwhelming.

You start to wonder if you even care anymore.

The problem isn’t that lawyers can’t handle pressure.

So, what’s the way out? It starts with rethinking success.

Because a lawyer who is well-rested, engaged, and valued will always outperform one running on empty.

Deadlines. Client demands. Billable targets. It’s easy to believe that stress is something external, something that happens to you. But stress isn’t just about the job. It’s a biological response.

This episode is part of a new mini-series on wellbeing in law, while the demands of the industry aren’t changing overnight lawyers have to rethink how they can navigate them.

And no, this isn’t another “just meditate and take breaks” kind of conversation. We know stress in law isn’t that simple. The reality is, most advice doesn’t cut it when you’re dealing with constant pressure, high stakes, and a workload that never stops.

But there are ways to take back control ways that actually work in the legal world. If you’ve ever thought, I know I need to manage stress, but nothing seems to help this is for you.

Today I'm sitting down with Grace Williams to get expert advice on how to manage stress in law, she's an ex White and Case solicitor turned health and nutrition coach. Find Grace on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/grace-williams-coach/

But what happens when women in law decide to rewrite that definition for themselves?

In this episode, I am spotlighting the stories of women who walked away from the traditional legal path, not because they couldn’t hack it, but because they chose something different.

Something bigger. Something that aligned with their version of success.

Younger lawyers aren’t following the same career paths as before. They want flexibility, purpose, and a future that isn’t just about billable hours. some are more entrepreneurial, others are more willing to walk away, and many are less tied to the outdated idea that partnership is the ultimate goal.

And yet, law firms are still clinging to the same structures.

In this conversation, we sit down with Jonathan Watmough award-winning former city law firm managing partner and author of 'How To Thrive In A Commercial Law Firm' he now helps law firm partners and partnerships improve performance.

We talk about how the legal industry isn’t just changing, it’s being rewritten.  

The shift from natural to strategic competition and what it means for the industry. How law firms can adapt to retain talent in a competitive market. The legal industry is experiencing a generational shift.

Yet, many law firms struggle to attract and retain this generation of lawyers.

The reason? 

Rigid hierarchies, endless hours, toxicity and outdated processes can push them away. 

But when motivated the right way, they can bring innovation, efficiency, and fresh perspectives that law firms need.

the next generation isn’t the problem. They’re the solution.

In this conversation, we're sitting down with Natalie Thomas legal business analyst at Perkins Coie.

She went from studying at Oxford University to working in Tesco in South-West Wales to then being part of the founding team, helping launch the London office of US law firm Perkins Coie.

We talk about how GenZ can help drive law firm growth, challenge traditions and question inefficiency to shape a smarter, more sustainable legal industry.

It’s not just technical skills. Not just experience.

It’s cultural intelligence.

The ability to navigate different perspectives, understand global nuances, and adapt to unfamiliar environments. And in an industry that’s becoming more international by the day, it’s the difference between stagnation and opportunity.

Think about it: The best lawyers aren’t just great at the law.

They’re great at people.

They build relationships across borders, decode unspoken cultural expectations, and know how to turn differences into strengths.

In this conversation, we sit down with Gary Miller, partner at Mishcon de Reya, Head of China Desk & Chair of International Fraud Group. Gary is a global asset recovery expert with 47 years of experience in uncovering and securing assets, leading cross-border teams, and driving high-stakes settlements. 

We talk about the power of cultural intelligence, the value of trusting your instincts, the lessons that come from embracing change, building the right networks, and seeing failure as part of growth.

Lawyers: Stop chasing clients – start attracting them

Here’s the truth: convincing a company to drop their long-standing lawyer and switch to you?

It’s an uphill battle.

Lawyers often sit in a place of trust built over years, and getting clients to jump ship is no small feat.

But here’s the good news:

You don’t need to “poach” clients.

Instead, focus on making yourself impossible to ignore.

You don’t need to compete with other lawyers for clients, you just need to out-position them.

Focus on building trust, authority, and relationships. When clients decide to make a change, they’ll already know who they’re calling: you.

Join us in our LinkedIn Live with special guest law firm partner at Waterstone Legal, Jasmine Chaudry. She's built a brand and influence and attracts clients on LinkedIn.

Learn how you can do it too.

Success as a lawyer isn't about being the smartest person in the room. You need to think like an entrepreneur and act like a marketer, being great a law is now just a baseline requirement.

Most lawyers get years into the profession and realise they have to be a great sales person as well as a great lawyer.

In this episode, Brandon Renken, trial partner at Mayer Brown covers why it's so important to be a great marketer in law and HOW you can do it.

LinkedIn is the most underrated tool for lawyers.

You’re not taking full advantage.

Think about it, in law, we need to:

-Build trust among clients & other professionals

-Position ourselves as the experts

-Network

It’s much easier when you have a platform that can do this AT SCALE for you.

As lawyers, we often hear the same advice: network, build your reputation, and let your expertise speak for itself.

But let’s be honest, traditional networking has its limits.

And relying solely on word-of-mouth feels outdated in 2025.

Enter LinkedIn: the ultimate game-changer.

This platform isn’t just about having a professional profile.

It’s a space where you can position yourself as a thought leader,

build relationships,

and attract opportunities

...without leaving your desk.

When we started showing up on LinkedIn consistently, everything changed.

We stopped chasing clients, they started finding us.

We stopped cold-pitching ideas, opportunities began landing in our inbox.

Here’s what makes LinkedIn so powerful:

👉 Visibility: Posting insightful content positions you as the go-to lawyer in your niche.

👉 Authenticity: Sharing your story builds trust and reliability, key for attracting clients.

👉 Engagement: Every comment, message, and connection is a chance to deepen relationships.

The best part?

You don’t need to be “viral.”

You need to be valuable.

In a profession built on trust and relationships.

LinkedIn is where you can grow both, at scale.
