    (157) Latent Legal Market Opportunities with AI and Subscriptions (live at MaxLawCon)

    Click here to sign up for a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing. To stay up to date with Practi, subscribe to our newsletter at practi.ai/hello. On October 10, 2025, I presented live at MaxLawCon in Nashville on the topic of integrating. Here is the slide deck. Here are the top 5 takeaways: * The Traditional Billable Hour Model Is Becoming Obsolete. AI automation is eliminating a significant portion of billable legal work—up to 75% for firms in the near future. This makes the traditional hourly billing model unsustainable, as tasks that once took hours can now be completed in minutes. * A Massive Latent Legal Market Exists. There is a huge, underserved market for legal services—estimated at $1.3 trillion in the U.S.—comprised of people and businesses who need legal help but are not currently served by lawyers, often due to lack of pricing transparency and affordability. * Subscription Models Offer Predictable Revenue and Better Access. Switching to a subscription-based legal service model provides clients with pricing certainty and allows lawyers to build sustainable practices with predictable revenue, improved client relationships, and better staff retention. * AI Should Be Used Thoughtfully and with the Right Tools. Lawyers should use multiple, purpose-built AI tools (not just general ones like ChatGPT) and always verify AI outputs with source documents. Retrieval-augmented generation and tools that provide citations are especially valuable for legal work. * Ethical and Professional Obligations Favor Efficiency and Transparency. Continuing to bill by the hour without leveraging AI may violate professional conduct rules against wasteful procedures. Embracing AI and subscription models aligns lawyer incentives with client needs and supports access to justice. __________________________ Sign up for Paxton, my all-in-one AI legal assistant, helping me with legal research, analysis, drafting, and enhancing existing legal work product.

    (156) Culture Shift in an AI Age (live at LegalGeek) + Special Episode Intro

    Click here to sign up for a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing. To stay up to date with Practi, subscribe to our newsletter at practi.ai/hello. On June 17, 2025, I presented live at LegalGeek in Chicago on the topic of shifting law firm culture in the AI Age. Here are the top 5 takeaways: * AI is Rapidly Transforming Legal Practice.Artificial intelligence is accelerating changes in law firms, from automating routine tasks to enabling new business models. The adoption of generative AI has made it possible to handle complex, unstructured data and deliver legal services faster and more efficiently than ever before. * The Billable Hour is Obsolete.The traditional billable hour model is under pressure. As AI automates more legal work, clients increasingly value output and results over time spent. The billable hour could disappear within five years, replaced by value-based and alternative fee structures, like subscriptions. * Subscription and Alternative Fee Models Offer Major Advantages.Subscription-based and alternative fee arrangements provide pricing transparency, encourage client engagement, and align incentives for efficiency. These models help lawyers focus on long-term client relationships and accessibility, rather than maximizing short-term profits. * AI Enhances Client Service and Access to Justice.By leveraging AI tools, lawyers can serve more clients at lower costs, helping to close the access to justice gap. Subscription models make legal help more affordable and encourage clients to seek advice proactively, preventing problems before they escalate. * Cultural Change is Essential for the Future of Law.Embracing technology and new business models requires a cultural shift within the legal profession. This includes rethinking mentorship, collaboration, and how value is measured. Firms that adapt will reduce burnout, improve teamwork, and better meet evolving client needs. __________________________ Sign up for Paxton, my all-in-one AI legal assistant, helping me with legal research, analysis, drafting, and enhancing existing legal work product.

    (155) Criminal Law + Subscriptions with Adam Rossen of Rossen Law Firm

    Click here to sign up for a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing. Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode: * Innovative Criminal Defense Internship/Externship Program:Adam Rossen’s law firm runs a highly competitive, curriculum-based internship program for high school, undergraduate, and law students. The program is designed to provide real-world legal experience, pairing students with attorneys and involving them in substantive casework. There is a push to rebrand it as an externship to help students receive academic credit. * Subscription and Fixed Fee Models in Criminal Defense:Rossen’s firm utilizes fixed fees and is exploring subscription models for ongoing client services, especially for probation-related matters. The discussion highlights the benefits of offering tiered subscription packages (e.g., access to legal resources, help with forms, full representation) to better serve clients and create predictable revenue. * Client Retention and Value Packaging:Rossen’s firm has historically provided certain post-case services (like probation motions) for free to nurture long-term client relationships and encourage positive reviews. However, this has become burdensome for staff, leading to a reevaluation of what should be included for free versus what should be packaged and charged for in a subscription or a la carte model. * Data-Driven Pricing and Service Decisions:There is an emphasis on analyzing firm data (e.g., rates of probation violations, service usage) to inform pricing and package design for subscription offerings. This approach ensures that the firm’s offerings are both sustainable and aligned with client needs. * Leveraging Technology and AI in Legal Practice:Adam Rossen is co-owner of Meet Gabby, a voice AI company that is being used to automate intake, calls, and other administrative tasks in his firm. The adoption of AI tools (like Paxton and Gabby) is seen as a way to scale operations, improve efficiency, and maintain high service quality without significantly increasing staff. __________________________ Learn more about Rossen Law Firm and Meet Gabby.

    (154) Personal Injury Law + AI with Jonathan Nessler of Nessler & Associates and Integrated Cognition

    Click here to sign up for a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing. Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode: * AI and Blockchain Will Transform Legal Practice and Evidence: The intersection of AI and blockchain is poised to revolutionize how legal professionals verify authenticity and ownership of digital evidence. Blockchain’s immutability and transparency can provide cryptographic proof of creation and ownership, which will be crucial as AI-generated content becomes indistinguishable from reality. * The Billable Hour Model Is Obsolete—Subscription Models Are the Future: The traditional billable hour is a relatively recent invention and is increasingly misaligned with client needs and lawyer well-being. Subscription-based legal services offer pricing certainty, better client relationships, and align incentives for efficiency, making them a more sustainable and client-friendly business model. * AI Will Reshape Legal Training and the Profession’s Structure: As AI automates more legal work, the traditional law firm pyramid (with many associates learning under partners) will erode. There’s a pressing need to rethink how new lawyers are trained, with externships and hands-on, AI-powered experiences becoming more important than the old apprenticeship model. * Legal Market Opportunity Is Vast, but Access Hinges on Affordability and Innovation: A huge portion of the legal market remains untapped due to cost and complexity. AI and new business models (like subscriptions) can unlock this latent demand, but lawyers must adapt to serve clients who expect affordable, accessible, and tech-enabled services. * Human Value in Law Will Shift Toward Creativity, Art, and Personalization: As routine legal tasks become automated, the unique value lawyers provide will center on creativity, personal connection, and brand differentiation—much like in the arts. Lawyers who embrace technology and focus on what only humans can do will thrive in the coming era of legal abundance. __________________________ Learn more about Nessler & Associates and Integrated Cognition.

    (153) Integrating AI in Legal Services (live at LegalGeek)

    Click here to sign up for a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing. On June 17, 2025, I presented live at LegalGeek in Chicago on the topic of integrating AI in legal services. Here are the top 5 takeaways: * The Billable Hour Is Obsolete. * The adoption of AI tools in legal practice is making the traditional billable hour model increasingly untenable. AI enables lawyers to deliver work faster and more efficiently, aligning incentives with client value rather than time spent. Subscription and value-based pricing models are more viable and attractive for both lawyers and clients. * Purpose-Built, Legal-Specific AI Tools Are Essential. * Not all AI is created equal. General-purpose tools like ChatGPT are not reliable for legal research or fact-finding. Instead, legal professionals should use purpose-built, legal-specific AI tools (like Paxton) that leverage retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and are trained on legal data. These tools provide more accurate, reliable, and secure results. * AI Enables Access to the Latent Legal Market. * A vast portion of the legal market remains underserved due to high costs and lack of pricing transparency. AI-powered efficiencies and alternative pricing models (like subscriptions and per-page pricing) open up legal services to a much larger market, making legal help more accessible and affordable for individuals and small businesses. * Effective Use of AI Requires New Skills and Mindsets. * Lawyers must learn to interact with AI as they would with a smart, entry-level assistant: providing context, iterating, and verifying results. Prompt engineering, semantic search, and understanding the limitations and strengths of different AI tools are now essential skills for modern legal professionals. * Adoption of AI Is Now an Ethical Imperative. * With the efficiency and accuracy gains AI provides, not using these tools may be seen as failing to meet ethical obligations to clients. The legal profession is expected to adopt technology that improves client service, transparency, and value. Failing to do so could be considered exploitative or even unethical under professional rules. __________________________ Sign up for Paxton, my all-in-one AI legal assistant, helping me with legal research, analysis, drafting, and enhancing existing legal work product.

    (152) Wellness and Legal Services + Subscriptions with Shannon Villalba of Heartsong Legal

    Click here to sign up for a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing. Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode: * Integrating Wellness and Law: Shannon Villalba combines her background in the arts, holistic wellness, and law to create a unique legal practice. She uses tools like meditation, energy work, and her Heartsong Chara Framework to help clients understand legal concepts and build their businesses in a more balanced, holistic way. * Moving Away from the Billable Hour: Both Shannon and Mathew advocate for flat fee and subscription-based legal services. This model provides clients with predictable, transparent pricing, reduces stress for both clients and attorneys, and encourages more open communication and collaboration. * Leveraging Technology for Efficiency: Shannon runs a virtual law firm and uses a lean tech stack (including MyCase, ClickUp, Zapier, Google Suite, AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity, Canva, and more) to streamline operations, improve client service, and stay competitive. She encourages experimentation and play with new tech to discover what works best. * Empowering Clients and Building Relationships: The subscription model allows attorneys to become true partners and guides for their clients, rather than just service providers. This approach fosters deeper relationships, more comprehensive issue spotting, and empowers clients through education and ongoing support. * Women and Underrepresented Attorneys as Innovators: The flexibility of virtual, tech-enabled, and alternative fee law practices is especially attractive to women and underrepresented attorneys. It allows for better work-life balance, the ability to serve clients authentically, and the freedom to innovate outside the constraints of traditional law firm models. __________________________ Learn more about Heartsong Legal.

    (151) Recap: How to Run a Law Firm in 2025

    Click here to sign up for a new platform that helps law firms use subscription billing. Here are the top 5 takeaways from this episode: 1. Constant Adaptation and Simplification Are Key to Law Firm Success. Both Mathew and Lauren emphasized the importance of regularly reassessing and adapting their practice areas, pricing, and service offerings. Lauren pivoted away from tax debt resolution to focus on estate planning and prenups, while Mathew simplified his pricing structure and eliminated underused features and add-ons. 2. Data-Driven Decisions Improve Offerings and Client Experience. They both use a mix of analytics, client feedback, and “gut data” from years of experience to refine their services. This includes tracking which offerings clients actually use, which content gets the most engagement, and adjusting accordingly for better retention and satisfaction. 3. Streamlined Onboarding and Intentional Friction Save Time. Mathew shared how he reworked his onboarding process using Google Workspace, Calendly, Stripe, and Google Forms to introduce just enough friction. This helps filter out unqualified leads and ensures new clients are a good fit, saving time for both the lawyer and the client. 4. Community and Content Platforms Matter. Lauren’s move from MailChimp to Substack for her newsletter and podcast was inspired by the platform’s community features and ease of use. Both hosts discussed the value of memorable branding, vanity URLs, and focusing content on topics that resonate most with their audience (like costs, outsourcing, AI, and SOPs). 5. Embrace AI and Technology, but Stay Client-Focused. Both are exploring ways to use AI and automation to improve efficiency and client service, such as creating SOPs, using AI prompts, and building tools for solo practitioners. However, they stress that technology should serve the client’s needs and not overwhelm them with complexity. Bonus: The most popular content topics for their audiences are costs, outsourcing, AI, finances, and standard operating procedures—indicating a strong interest in practical, efficiency-focused advice for running a modern law firm. __________________________ Learn more about A Different Practice.
