Everyone’s talking about the world’s first AI law firm but I wanted to go deeper. So I’ve created an exclusive series to go beyond the buzz with founder of Garfield Law, Philip Young. In this episode, we dig into the tension between regulation and innovation, when does it protect us, and when does it hold us back? And what does good regulation actually look like in a world driven by AI? A landmark moment for the legal industry: The Solicitors Regulatory Authority has officially authorised Garfield.Law, the first ever AI-driven law firm regulated to provide legal services in England and Wales. This isn’t just another firm using AI to streamline admin. Garfield.Law is entirely AI-driven, offering small businesses an AI litigation assistant to recover unpaid debts, guiding them through the small claims process all the way to trial.

It’s political, unpredictable, and sometimes out of reach.So how do you really know if you’re on track?In this episode, we pull back the curtain on what really happens when law firms decide who makes a partner.Brandon Rankin & Helen Pamely  Listen to the full episode here:https://open.spotify.com/episode/4y0Bme1lz0BCQQqnvLIQvs?si=a691c03cabed4bbeHelen Pamely Listen to the full episode here:https://open.spotify.com/episode/2KVtTDkPLgNTLXsdwuaNha?si=c45db29671634eb4Gabriel Olearnik   Listen to the full episode here:https://open.spotify.com/episode/4c34iGfIljSsYgD8pEZZtP?si=7d2779e59fc74e6a ---I've wasted hours drafting contracts in my business.I knew there had to be a better way.And then I found this.Aircounsel.An AI contract drafter built by lawyers, for lawyers.Aircounsel has been kind enough to sponsor this episode.And I’m excited to spread the word.

Many people still see Gen Z as “lazy” or “entitled.”What if the generation everyone underestimates is actually the one reshaping the future of law?In this episode, I’m joined by Natalie Thomas, Legal Business Analyst at Perkins Coie. From Oxford University to Tesco, and now helping launch the London office of a US law firm, her journey proves there’s no single path into law.We talk about how Gen Z challenges hierarchy, embraces efficiency, and collaborates differently and why those skills might be exactly what the legal industry needs. Natalie also shares her unconventional route into law, the importance of mentorship and social mobility, and why diversity isn’t just nice-to-have, but a business imperative.If you’ve ever wondered how the next generation will transform law firms, this conversation is the answer.---Pre register for the AI Skills Summit for Lawyers here:https://holly-cope.myflodesk.com/aiskillssummitpreregistration ---I've wasted hours drafting contracts in my business.I knew there had to be a better way.And then I found this.Aircounsel.An AI contract drafter built by lawyers, for lawyers.Aircounsel has been kind enough to sponsor this episode.And I’m excited to spread the word.
