Legally Speaking Podcast · Skill Over Salary | Fighting Bullies: The Case for a Career in Plaintiffs' Law - Bill Reid - S10E28 · 20 Jul 2026 podcast

And I can imagine, you know, it really gets people to think a little bit more than just be necessarily just so transfixed on this is the chosen path to go, or this is where I must go in big law, or this is what I should be chasing.

And actually, like you say, giving that fulfillment, making them really deeper, think why, why, why, why, why?

And like you say, putting that time attachment to it as well.

Okay, let's talk about your firm because you built a firm culture that rejects a lot of this sort of methodology around the prestige, success, making partner, all these things, again, we see banded around.

What is the biggest lie young lawyers are told about status in the profession, and why does that lie survive for so long?

Yeah, no, what a beautiful outlook and way to look at it.

And so we've teased throughout the discussion AI.

So now, of course, we have to talk about AI in the future of what law firms and billing models might look like, because you've also argued that AI is going to put serious pressure on the billable hour model.

Why do you think

particularly large law firms are structurally more exposed to that shift than perhaps some of the smaller firms.

And what does that mean for those who win and lose legal talent over the next decade in your view?

Well, let's dive a bit deeper and get your thoughts then on that, particularly with AI coming in, stripping away a lot of that routine work.

It's very much known for efficiencies.

I think it's going to be even greater than that as it develops and enhances so many ways that AI can be used to transform industries, not just legal, of course.

So that legal work that we used to train junior lawyers, what does that mean for how the profession then develops the things that we probably need in light of the tech revolution coming in, judgment, advocacy?

trial readiness, who is most at risk of being left behind here?

I like that.

Do you think we could potentially be sending robots into courtrooms?

Just being a little bit devil's advocate here.
