There’s a lot of fear and misunderstanding around AI in the legal and mediation world. Will it replace professionals? Will clients trust AI-generated content? Is it even ethical to use these tools in practice? These questions are valid, but they’re also keeping too many solo and small firm professionals from tapping into tools that can actually help their businesses grow.

In this episode, Susan Guthrie breaks down how the Big Four accounting firms—Deloitte, EY, PwC, and KPMG—are investing billions into AI platforms to increase productivity, reduce costs, and move away from the billable hour. And what they’re doing at scale, you can apply in your practice on a much smaller, strategic level.

It’s not about having all the answers, it’s about being curious, open, and willing to evolve. Tune in now to learn how AI can become your new business partner, not your competition. Unlock the Power of AI with These Practice-Boosting Insights:

  • Why fear of AI is holding professionals back
  • What the Big Four are doing with AI and what you can learn from them
  • Tools to start using today for research, writing, marketing, and more
  • How AI supports value-based pricing and frees you from trading time for money
  • Small ways to start integrating AI whether you're solo or running a growing team
