Jackie Schaffer is the founder and CEO of Clearbrief. On this podcast Ben and Jackie discuss:

Jackie's  background as a litigator, first at Paul Weiss, then as an Assistant Attorney General in Alaska and Washington State.  Her frustration with the archaic process of legal writing, specifically with citations. How her experience with a pro bono case, where she successfully helped a woman and her toddler gain asylum, was a turning point for her and lead to the idea for Clearbrief.

Ben and Jackie discuss the universal problem of lack of context when reading legal documents and how Jackie began networking with other AI product leaders to develop a prototype of Clear Brief.

Jackie then raised startup capital from angel investors and key advisors.

Ben and Jackie talk about her entrepreneurial spirit and Jackie discusses the importance of building a network and the art of building relationships.

Jackie talks about how her vision for Clear Brief evolved over time, based on feedback from users

Jackie highlights the benefits of Clear Brief for solo and small firm lawyers, including saving time and winning cases

Ben and Jackie discuss the importance of trust in the legal profession and how Clear Brief helps to establish it

What Makes The GLM Tribe Special?

In short, we are the only organization within the "business builder for lawyers" space that is led by two practicing lawyers.

One thing we're sure you've noticed is that despite the variety of options within our space, no one else is mixing
the actual practice of law with business building in the way that we are.

There are no other organizations who understand the highs and lows of running a small law firm and are engaged in talking to real clients. That is what sets GLM apart from every other organization, and it is why we have had loyal members that have been with us for two-decades.
