Laura Jeffords Greenberg | On AI in legal, and the intricacies of ambiguous endpoints | Episode #79

In this episode, Lasse Rindom speaks with Laura Jeffords Greenberg, lawyer, legal tech leader and top voice, educator, and Head of the AI Legal Academy at Wordsmith. Born in Silicon Valley and now based in Europe, Laura brings a unique perspective on how legal work is adapting - and sometimes resisting - the AI wave.

Their conversation dives into both the structural and cultural forces shaping the legal profession:

• How in-house lawyers are embracing AI to stop reviewing NDAs and start preventing risk

• What happens when you train a junior lawyer on AI - but they’ve never learned what “good” looks like

• Legal language vs. code: ambiguity, jurisdictional nuance, and why “best efforts” might not mean what you think

• Why Silicon Valley has always hated lawyers - and what it says about the future of regulation and power

This is an episode that goes deep on AI, and on legal, to ask what governs both worlds and what will it mean when they collide.
