In this episode of Shortlisted, we revisit a recent webinar exploring how AI is moving from experimentation to real, defined roles within Marketing and BD teams in Professional Services. The discussion looks at what this shift means in practice and how firms can prepare for the next wave of intelligent tools that will reshape the way work gets done.

We welcome back Founder Lee Curtis, who joins us from London to introduce a world first: Leonard, the first Legal AI Agent built specifically for Marketing and BD in law firms and Professional Services. Designed to sit confidently within organisational structures, Leonard is created to take on genuine responsibilities, work to KPIs, and contribute directly to ROI.

In the webinar, Lee walks us through Leonard’s capabilities and demonstrates how AI Agents will influence the shape and design of in-house teams. Together, we explore practical use cases, emerging opportunities, and the strategic considerations leaders should be thinking about now, from role design to change readiness.
