Just when you think you’re getting comfortable with AI, something new comes along. How are you supposed to keep up while running a law firm?
AI is changing how attorneys research, manage cases, and serve clients. The opportunities are exciting, but so is the pressure to adopt new technology before you fully understand what it can do. And with so many tools promising to save time and improve efficiency, how do you know what’s actually worth using in your practice?
In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life, Steve Riley sits down with attorney, general counsel, and author Colin Levy to discuss what AI means for the future of law firms and the attorneys who lead them.
Drawing from his book, Code Switch: A Lawyer’s Guide to the Era of AI, Colin challenges attorneys to think beyond using AI as a faster search engine. They discuss how AI is changing legal workflows, why ongoing training matters, and how law firm owners can prepare their teams without constantly chasing the next new tool.
As technology takes on more routine legal work, the skills that make you a great attorney may become even more valuable. If you’re wondering how to use AI to improve your law firm’s operations without losing the human connection your clients depend on, this conversation will help you think differently about what’s ahead.
