    AI in Law: How Artificial Intelligence Is Changing the Legal Profession | Ep.18

    In this episode of the Vitals & Verdicts Podcast, Doreen Riordan sits down with Harshita Ganesh, an attorney at CMBG3 who is developing the firm's AI practice in products liability and risk management.  Harshita's path to law is anything but traditional—she began her career as a chemical engineer, studied biochemical engineering in Belgium, and eventually made the transition to law after discovering her passion for litigation through mock trial. Doreen and Harshita dive into the rapidly changing world of artificial intelligence and what it means for the legal profession. They also discuss the hidden value in traditional legal work, the importance of human judgment and oversight, and why automating everything simply for the sake of efficiency can create problems in the long run.  Harshita shares her advice for attorneys who feel intimidated by AI and explains why curiosity, asking questions, and taking a cautious approach may be more valuable than rushing to adopt every new technology. Topics covered: Harshita's journey from chemical engineering to litigationHow mock trial helped her discover her passion for lawWhy she believes AI is different from previous technology trendsThe potential impact of AI on junior attorney developmentHow law firms can automate tasks without sacrificing human judgmentWhy creativity and critical thinking can suffer when everything is automatedFinding the balance between innovation and protecting clients CONNECT WITH HARSHITA GANESH Law Firm Website: https://www.cmbg3.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/harshita-ganesh-b-s-j-d-443056b2/ CONNECT WITH DOREEN Website: https://www.riordanrnexpert.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/riordanrnexpert/  ---------------------------------------- 🎙️ About the Show Hosted by Doreen Riordan, this podcast features conversations with leaders in healthcare, law, business, and entrepreneurship who share practical advice, career insights, and inspiring stories to help professionals grow both personally and professionally.

Asaf shares his inspiring journey from studying philosophy in Florida to becoming a passionate criminal defense attorney in New York and Massachusetts.  The conversation takes a deeply personal turn as Asaf opens up about his daughter Liv's battle with a rare and aggressive pediatric cancer. He candidly discusses the emotional impact of receiving the diagnosis, how his family chose hope over despair, and the mindset that helped them navigate 42 weeks of chemotherapy, radiation, surgeries, and uncertainty. Through their journey, Asaf discovered an even greater purpose—raising funds for pediatric cancer research and pledging to donate 10% of every personal injury attorney fee his firm earns to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Doreen and Asaf also explore the importance of mental health, rehabilitation, racial justice within the legal system, and why serving others remains at the heart of his work.
