I was joined by Kerry Barrett, Emmy-winning former NBC News anchor, media trainer, and founder of the Video Authority Blueprint, who turns video-shy lawyers into video-confident lawyers.

💡 What we covered:

AI With a Conscience — Can Legal Tech Stay Ethical as It Scales?

🚨 If AI can draft your contracts, flag your redlines, and build your bundles… Who’s responsible when it gets it wrong? In our latest Legally Speaking Podcast™ LinkedIn Live, proudly sponsored by Clio, I sat down with Austin Brittenham, lawyer, founder, and CEO of 2nd Chair — the minds behind David AI, the “AI with a conscience” reshaping how small firms, solo lawyers, and students get legal work done.

🎙 Topic: AI With a Conscience — Can Legal Tech Stay Ethical as It Scales? This wasn’t another AI hype session. It was a deep dive into:

♦️ What happens when AI gets the law wrong — and how David AI avoids hallucination with built-in verification

♦️ Why they designed for solo attorneys first — not BigLaw

♦️ How firms can self-regulate today — without waiting for the SRA to catch up

♦️ The future of legal education and whether AI should be a core subject

♦️ Mental health, burnout, and building AI that supports people, not just processes

💡 “Verification over velocity.” That was Austin’s core message — and it’s one every legal professional needs to hear.

Is your client experience killing your law firm's growth?

According to a survey by Axiom, 4 out of 5 lawyers agree there is a disconnect between what clients want and what law firms provide. But when you are busy doing legal work and trying to bring in business, examining the client experience often takes a back seat.

However, providing exceptional client service is crucial for law firm growth, and every touchpoint matters when it comes to turning leads into clients. Even if you consistently hit your marketing goals, you still need to convince more prospects that you are the right firm for them to see growth. But it shouldn’t feel like a lot of extra work. 💼✨

In this live session, along with Emma Flood from LEX Reception we will discuss small, actionable changes you can make to turn more leads into clients. 📈💡

This session is for you if:

– You get a good amount of enquiries but need more clients to grow 📞

– You want to improve your end-to-end client journey 🌟🛤️
