Your margins are shrinking fast. Your associate is about to become… AI! In this episode, Sasha Berson sits down with Colin Levy, a 17-year legal tech expert, for an eye-opening conversation about how AI is rattling the legal world, shrinking profit margins, and threatening legal jobs. Colin gives law firm owners a jarring wake-up call: “The fastest way to become *LESS* in demand is to pretend the world isn’t changing.” How do you plan to stay relevant over the next 3–5 years? This episode is your wake-up call! P.S. It isn’t doom and gloom. Think of it as pessimistic pragmatism. Watch now.

👉 Sasha and Colin explore:
— How junior associate work is already disappearing as AI takes over legal research, drafting, and routine case tasks.
— The #1 reason your law firm tech adoption will fail (Watch out for the “T” word)
— How most firms only use ~20% of their practice management software (like Clio), leaving profits on the table.
— How backend software (intake, billing, workflow, client portals) will free lawyers to focus on higher-value work.
— The *biggest* advantage in an AI-driven legal world: operational discipline paired with human relationships.
👉 Main Takeaways from the Episode:
— Map your client intake from first contact to signed agreement. Cut one step that creates friction or delays in onboarding.
— Assign one person to own tech adoption in your firm. Schedule a live training session instead of sending another tutorial link.
