Are robots about to take over your lawyer's job?

Not quite, but Artificial Intelligence is poised to revolutionize the legal industry. In this episode, Matt Watson ventures into the world of immigration law with Josh Waddell, co-founder of VisaLaw.ai.

Josh isn't just another lawyer; he's a legal tech pioneer who saw the limitations of traditional practice and decided to disrupt it from within. We'll hear how his law firm embraced AI to automate tedious tasks, leaving lawyers free to focus on complex cases and high-touch clients.

But innovation doesn't come easy. Josh shares the challenges of building trust in a skeptical legal market and the surprising pivot that led to the creation of VisaLaw.ai, a powerful AI tool for immigration lawyers.

Is this the future of legal practice? Tune in to find out if AI is a friend or foe and how even the most traditional professions can leverage technology to stay ahead of the curve.
