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

Could you ever see that happening?

You know, we read a lot about AI judges and everything else.

You know, do you see that or is that just bonkers to you?

Okay, so I just want you to sort of think back to three skills that you believe you have that have made you the successful lawyer you are today.

And in light of the AI revolution that we live in, which of those three skills, if any, you think is going to be absolutely still needed of high value?

And are there any additional ones you would drop or replace to have three key skills of the future?

Yeah, and a mentor said to me very early on, you know, facts tell, but the stories sell.

I think the better you are at storytelling and being able to take people on that journey, I absolutely agree.

And, you know, that sort of wit mentality as well, because your clients don't instruct you to lose, right?

It's the whatever it takes, you know, and it sounds like you have that grit, that mentality of like, I'm going to do my best to absolutely, you know, deliver on this and not give up.

So I appreciate you sharing that.

Okay, so let's talk about opportunities here, because you said the real opportunity for trial firms is,

be more visible early on is how lawyers should be thinking about their careers particularly young lawyers should be thinking about their careers okay so if you were speaking directly to you know claimant firms trial boutiques payment firms etc etc what should they do differently right now to help the next generation discover these careers sooner and have more career fulfillment to not have some a lot of things we've discussed about already

so i don't know if that answers your question but i appreciate you sharing your your thoughts and i think it's been really interesting learning about your journey obviously the great work you've been doing and how much you do give back and how much you care about the next generation um of legal professionals as well which is you know why we're really keen to have this conversation so finally then for a law student a trainee a junior associate right now listening to this who thinks actually

Maybe I'm on the wrong track.

Maybe I did make some wrong decisions early on.

What is the first honest question they should ask themselves before it's too late?

Yep.

Can't be more hard hitting and brutal than that.

And I appreciate you sharing that.
