Tom shares his journey from practicing law to becoming a legaltech entrepreneur, highlighting how he created tools to help lawyers work more efficiently.

He describes how LawDroid integrates with various legal practice management systems and offers features like lead capture, client intake, and knowledge base creation. Tom also addresses concerns about AI hallucinations in legal research, explaining that LawDroid uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to ensure accuracy and prevent the system from making up information.Looking to the future, Tom predicts that the billable hour model in law firms will likely decline due to the efficiency gains provided by AI tools. He discusses the subscription-based business model of LawDroid, highlighting its benefits for both the company and its users. Tom sees the subscription model as a way to build community and provide ongoing value to lawyers as technology and laws continue to evolve. He concludes by encouraging lawyers to embrace AI and efficiency gains, viewing them as opportunities rather than threats to their practice.__________________________Learn about LawDroid, attend its University, and subscribe to the Manifesto.
