Um I know that some firms do do this and and I would encourage all organisations to do so, is to encourage within KPIs, within trackable
units, whatever they do as their targets, um encourage time spent.
researching, innovating, coming up with ideas, have KPIs that really encourage you to come up with innovative solutions for your clients, not just sit at your desk and bill.
Because those firms that have their staff just sat at their desk billing, they'll suddenly realize they were doing the wrong thing and what they were doing was suddenly outdated.
It's not going anywhere anytime soon.
I d I don't know if mess many people disagree with that, but this comes back to that argument we were saying earlier that you know there is there's a back and forth across the whole industry about this.
Um I have worked with small business owners that have come to me with contracts, with uh uh correspondence, whatever it might be, and said, you know, this'll do, can you just touch uh whatever it might be, th that they've clearly generated bits from uh
Various AI platforms.
I don't think that stuff is well, certainly I'll be I'll stay busy as a litigator, let me put it like that.
Because if they're gonna use those contracts, if they're gonna use those agreements, if they're gonna you know correspond in that way, um they're gonna get things wrong and they're gonna get things wrong for a long time.
Uh we've all heard the success stories of of AI platforms.
I think the more we use them, the more we realise they're fabulous so many things, but they're still not there yet, and of course that'll change in.
develop but I I still think I I I hold out hope um that a skilled mind uh will have a place in this industry for for a little while yet.
I haven't even mentioned networking yet.
So there we go.
That's an obvious one.
So Rob and I originally know each other through the London Young Lawyers Group, which is a division of the junior lawyers division of the Law Society.
Bit of a mouthful, apologies.
But so from very, very early on in my career, I was running legal events, networking events.
Rob and I have been to many of those together.
