More Than A Lawyer with Holly Cope
Behind the Curtain: The AI Conversations Lawyers Don’t Know About

The future of law isn’t just about AI.

Or automation.

Or the next big legal tech startup.


It’s about pressure.

Possibility.

And the choices we make before the industry makes them for us.


In this episode, I’m bringing you conversations with the people rethinking what legal practice will look like when AI is no longer a “future” problem, it’s the present.


Kyle Torrington


Kyle, co-founder of Loft Legal and AirCounsel, has seen entire workflows shrink from hours to minutes.


Listen to the full episode here:

Peter Wright


Early adoption comes with its own risks.

Peter, Managing Director at Digital Law, warns that rushing into tech without guardrails can backfire—hard.

We discuss why every firm now needs an AI policy, how to train staff to use tools safely, and the hidden compliance traps lurking in everyday software.

Richard Macklin


If you were building a law firm from scratch today, would it look anything like the traditional model?

Richard—ex-global vice chair of Dentons and now a world-class leadership coach—says no.

Jody Glidden & James Wang


Rainmaking has always been the domain of a select few.

Jody and James, co-founders of Postalize, see AI changing that—fast.


Listen to the full episode here:

https://open.spotify.com/episode/6oLfY2qeMhWcQZMNCCgQov?si=d2263c5e9d534e6b


These aren’t just tech conversations.

They’re about survival, influence, and the culture the next generation of lawyers will inherit—or create.

Winning Clients on Upwork as a Freelance Lawyer with Chiara Talavera

The biggest fear about going solo in law?

“How will I find clients?”


But what if it’s not as hard as you think?

What if you’re overcomplicating it?


You don’t need permission to build a legal career on your terms.

You just need to start seeing opportunities where others see limits.


It’s not about luck.

It’s about mindset.


Today I'm sitting down with Chiara, a freelance immigration law paralegal. She started out looking for potential clients on a freelance job board called Upwork and now she's living the dream, travelling the world, working on her terms as a digital nomad paralegal. In this episode, she explains exactly how she created this life for herself.

Here’s the Issue with Making AI Work for Lawyers with Sophie Best

Technology isn’t the problem. Culture is.

As law firms race to adopt AI and legal tech, one truth becomes impossible to ignore:


No tool can fix a trust gap.

And without cultural buy-in, even the best solutions will fail.


This isn’t about resisting change.

It’s about designing it with people at the centre.


In this conversation, I’m sitting down with Sophie Best, CEO, Legal Tech Consultant & Educator, who helps lawyers and legal teams navigate the fast-changing world of AI, legal tech, education, and community.

We talk about why legal tech adoption keeps failing and how firms can shift from selling tools to solving real problems.


Sophie unpacks the trust gap, cultural resistance, and what it really takes to make AI work for lawyers, not against them.

💡 Whether you're in legal ops, innovation, or practicing law this conversation will change how you think about technology in legal.

Are We Over-Regulating the Future of Law? with Philip Young

Everyone’s talking about the world’s first AI law firm but I wanted to go deeper.


So I’ve created an exclusive series to go beyond the buzz with founder of Garfield Law, Philip Young.  


In this episode, we dig into the tension between regulation and innovation, when does it protect us, and when does it hold us back?

And what does good regulation actually look like in a world driven by AI?


A landmark moment for the legal industry:

The Solicitors Regulatory Authority has officially authorised Garfield.Law, the first ever AI-driven law firm regulated to provide legal services in England and Wales.


This isn’t just another firm using AI to streamline admin. Garfield.Law

is entirely AI-driven, offering small businesses an AI litigation assistant to recover unpaid debts, guiding them through the small claims process all the way to trial.

AI-Generated Court Claims: The First Time in History with Philip Young

We’ve accepted slow court processes, expensive litigation, and the myth that only big players can afford justice.

But what if AI could rewrite those rules and make access to justice a reality for everyone?


In this episode, I sit down with Philip Young, founder of Garfield, an AI-powered platform helping users generate and submit legal claims automatically. Philip shares a huge update, how Garfield is already integrated with courts, Companies House, and accounting software, and why this signals a major shift in how law firms will operate in the future.


We talk about:

AI-generated court claims

The rise of highly integrated law firms

Why democratising justice could reshape corporate behaviour

And why lawyers sleeping under desks might soon be a thing of the past

This Could Make Or Break A Law Firm in This AI Revolution with Peter Wright

Innovation without compliance is just risk in disguise.

As law firms explore the potential of AI, one thing becomes clear:

You can’t innovate safely without a compliance mindset.


This isn’t about slowing down.

It’s about building smarter.


In this conversation, I'm sitting down with Peter Wright, managing director at Digital Law.

We unpack the uncomfortable truths law firms need to face about AI, data privacy, and digital tools.


The hidden dangers of transcription tools and instant messaging apps in law firms.

Why AI tools must be vetted and the risk of not doing your due diligence.


This episode is an absolute must for you if you're running a law firm, it could be the difference between staying protected or facing reputational damage and serious fines.

Will Your Law Job Still Exist in 5 Years? Confessions from a Legal AI Founder with Kyle Torrington

I’ve spoken to a lot of law firms over the past year about AI.

Most of them don’t realise what’s coming.


But here’s the truth:

AI isn’t a future risk.

It’s a right now disruption.

And yet, too many firms are still asleep at the wheel.


In this very frank conversation with Kyle Torrington, the co-founder of Loft Legal, a tech-driven online law firm and AirCounsel, an AI-powered contract drafter for attorneys. 


We discuss which parts of legal practice are on the brink of being replaced by AI, what the real role of lawyers could look like in just a few years, and how those who act now can future-proof their careers. He shared perspectives on how tech & AI can shape the role of law firms I’ve never heard before.

The Kiss of Death in International Legal Networking with Steve Fretzin

Networking etiquette isn’t one-size-fits-all.

What works in New York might fall flat in Tokyo.


If you’re building relationships across borders, cultural intelligence matters just as much as people skills.

Genuine curiosity beats clever pitches.


Ask. Listen. Learn.

Understand their world before you try to fit yours into it.


Because global networking isn’t just about who you know,

It’s about how you build that relationship.


In this conversation I sit down with Steve Fretzin, We discuss how networking can backfire when done wrong—how the wrong approach can actually push people away.

We also break down how lawyers can optimise their networking strategy, by focusing on relationship-building over pitching.

AI Is Coming for the Rainmakers, Are You Ready? with Jody Glidden & James Wang

1 year ago, a law firm founder told me their biggest fear. (It wasn’t AI.)

It was losing the rainmaker.


The partner who brings in the big clients.


The one who could walk out & take half the revenue with them.


For decades, that’s how law firms grew.

But things are shifting.


AI isn’t just automating admin.

It’s DEMOCRATISING business development.

This doesn’t replace your rainmakers.

It amplifies what makes them great


So you’re not left exposed.

So growth doesn’t depend on one person.


Because the real risk isn’t losing your rainmaker.

It’s building a firm that only works if they stay.


Today, I'm sitting down with Jody Glidden and James Wang, the founders of Postilize, a groundbreaking AI platform that’s transforming how law firms build relationships and win business.


Jody is a serial legal tech entrepreneur and the brains behind Introhive, a leading CRM intelligence platform.

James is a BlackBerry veteran who led global ISV strategy, secured over $30M in partner-driven revenue.


Today we talk about a topic that I've never heard people discuss, will AI kill the traditional law firm rainmaker?

Why Salary Secrecy Is Costing You with Carla Hoppe & Jono Randell-Nash

There’s a culture in law that no one really talks about. 

The culture of not asking. 


Not talking about money. 

Salary secrecy 


But this silence comes at a cost. 

It can create confusion. 


It can reinforce inequality. 

It can break trust. 


It can keep people stuck. 

Understanding your worth isn’t just about numbers.

It’s about building a life that works for you.


Staying in the dark isn't just disempowering.

It's expensive.


In this episode, I sit down with Jono Randell-Nash, ex lawyer turned independent financial advisor for lawyers. 


Carla Hoppe, former corporate solicitor, ex- director of international tax and transaction services at EY and founder of WealthBrite, an award-winning financial education partner helping law firms build financially savvy lawyers.


We explore the culture of salary secrecy in law firms, the widespread financial literacy gap across the legal industry, and the key questions lawyers should be asking to take control of their financial wellbeing.

Exclusive Debate: The Truth About Making Partner at Top Law Firms with Brandon Renken & Helen Pamely

So many associates think they’re on the path to partnership…

But they’re not even close.


And no one’s telling them.

Some are chasing an invisible finish line.


Because the steps to partnership? Often they're not written down.

Or the goalposts keep shifting.

 So is it still worth it? 


That depends on one thing: 

Clarity. Clarity from firms. 

Clarity from leaders. 


Clarity for associates to make empowered decisions about their careers.

Because without it, we’re fuelling a cycle of disillusionment, quiet quitting, and talent loss.  


In this exclusive conversation with Brandon Renken, trial partner at Mayer Brown and Helen Pamely, ex law firm partner, we discuss:


– Why so many associates feel misled about the path to partnership

– What really happens behind closed doors when partnership decisions are made

– The silence around feedback and how it creates confusion and resentment

– The surprising metrics that matter (and the ones that shouldn’t)

– How transparency or the lack of it shapes the future of law firms

Why Your Work Ethic Might Be a Trauma Response with Casey Berglund

Are you chasing success, or recreating the stress that raised you?

Because they can look exactly the same. 

Let me explain


You grew up in chaos.

Maybe not dramatic. But unpredictable.

Emotionally charged.

Always on edge.

So you adapted.


Now?

You’re praised for the same patterns that kept you safe as a kid.

Clients love your hustle.


Colleagues call you a machine.

You get rewarded for the very thing that’s burning you out.


But here’s the truth:

That urgency?

That over-functioning?

That need to be perfect?


It might not be ambition.

It might be your nervous system stuck in survival.


Today I'm sitting down with Casey Berglund,TEDx speaker, host of The Purpose Map™ Podcast, founder of Worthy and Well, and creator of the Let Your Body Lead™ Professional Certification. She's also the co-author of The Mind-Body Way: The Embodied Leader's Path to Resilience, Connection, and Purpose. She teaches you how to listen to your body, make better decisions, and build a career that actually feels good. 


In this conversation, we discuss how the way you work today might be rooted in how you survived as a child. How to find a way of working and a life that aligns with what you actually want.
