More Than A Lawyer with Holly Cope
What It Really Means to Evolve as a Modern Lawyer

Most lawyers wait for the “right time” to take a leap.

But what if that moment never comes?


The legal world is changing faster than ever and those who redefine success, rather than chase security, are the ones shaping its future.

From fear of failure to the rise of AI, this episode dives into what it really means to evolve as a modern lawyer.


Ari Mike Varjabedian, founder of E-Legal Councel, a tech-driven law firm built for the remote era and one of the first to live the digital nomad lawyer life.


Listen to the full episode here:


https://open.spotify.com/episode/301lnVs7EghV58qOuCBTqc?si=16a7a978f03c4bf0


Christine Bradshaw, Partner at Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP, who breaks down the psychology behind lawyers’ risk aversion and perfectionism and how reframing success can unlock innovation.

https://open.spotify.com/episode/6A9r37Az2n0kHYwueLAP99?si=565ad0bc5adc4856


Dharshi Hardina, Fractional General Counsel and Executive Coach, who explores how AI can make lawyers more human, creative, and emotionally intelligent.


Listen to the full episode here:


https://open.spotify.com/episode/7j5v6cuOK7xLmZ4aWNV1Up?si=4c6ccc53b7814b70


Rob Hanna, host of the Legally Speaking Podcast, shares his bold take on the AI boom, why most legal tech startups will fail, and what separates genuine innovation from noise.


Listen to the full episode here:


https://open.spotify.com/episode/156g26MKryjnuGowB3BNbK?si=5b65ffcc3323467a


We talk about risk, reinvention, and redefining success in a profession built on caution.

From Ari’s leap from traditional law to remote freedom, to Christine’s reflections on perfectionism and imposter syndrome, to Dhrashi and Rob’s insights on the AI-human connection — this conversation is a blueprint for lawyers who want more than the safe path.


You’ll hear how courage, mindset, and adaptability are becoming the new legal superpowers — and why the future of law belongs to those willing to jump before they’re ready.

More Than A Lawyer with Holly Cope
Behind Closed Doors: How Big Law Is Really Handling AI with Sonia Cisse

Most law firms say they’re “exploring AI.”

At Linklaters, they’re living it.


Resistance is real, but so is the momentum.

Because the lawyers who embrace change won’t just survive the AI era, they’ll define it.


In this episode, I’m joined by Sonia Cisse, Partner and Head of AI & Technology at Paris office, Linklaters, one of the world’s leading international law firms.

Sonia is helping shape how one of the biggest names in law integrates artificial intelligence, from internal adoption to culture, governance, and innovation.


We talk about how AI is transforming the culture of law and what it takes to lead that change inside a global firm.


Sonia shares candid insights on:


Why lawyers resist and what finally gets them excited about AI.


How Linklaters builds AI literacy across thousands of lawyers worldwide.


Balancing innovation with confidentiality and client trust.


Why the future of junior lawyers isn’t disappearing, it’s evolving.


And how tomorrow’s lawyers will blend legal expertise with AI fluency.


This conversation goes beyond hype.

It’s a look inside how one of the world’s top law firms is actually implementing generative AI, responsibly, strategically, and with a sense of curiosity that’s changing what it means to be a lawyer.

What You Wear Can Make or Break Your Law Career with Estelle Winsett

What you wear isn’t just fashion, it’s strategy.

In law, perception shapes power.

And for women lawyers, style can be the silent language of authority.

So what if your wardrobe could build confidence, and your brand?


Today, we're speaking to Estelle Winsett, a former lawyer turned personal stylist for women attorneys. After seven years in practice, she pivoted from legal briefs to wardrobe briefs helping women in law dress with purpose, power, and presence. Today, she runs a full-time styling business dedicated to helping women lawyers show up with confidence in every room they enter.


We talk about the psychology of style, how colour, fit, and small details influence authority and confidence. Estelle shares practical examples, from courtroom strategy to conference presence, and explains how dressing with intention can change not just how others see you, but how you see yourself.


You’ll hear about:


How different colours evoke trust, power, and approachability (and why white was a genius choice in the Johnny Depp trial).


The hidden link between clothing fit, body language, and credibility.


Why consistency in your personal style strengthens your professional brand, both in person and on LinkedIn.


How Estelle’s journey from lawyer to stylist taught her that confidence can start with what’s hanging in your closet.


This episode is for anyone who wants to show up, stand out, and own the room, without saying a word.

My Message to Every Lawyer Right Now: Solo Episode

The Legal Industry Is Changing Faster Than Ever


Most law firms think the “AI revolution” is coming someday.

But it’s already here and it’s reshaping everything from hiring to billing models.

The question now isn’t if lawyers will adapt.

It’s how fast and who will get left behind.


In this episode, I dive into the massive transformations happening in law right now from junior lawyers quitting in record numbers to legal departments being replaced by automation.


You’ll hear how:


AI is reshaping the roles of paralegals and junior lawyers, forcing firms to rethink training, culture, and career progression.


Major players like Microsoft and Freshfields are restructuring their legal teams and what that signals for the entire industry.


The first AI-driven law firm is already regulated and changing the economics of legal work.


And why the future of law belongs to those who learn to combine tech fluency with human trust, creativity, and business acumen.


I also share why I founded the Global AI Skills Summit for Lawyers a global community and free training initiative helping lawyers future-proof their careers.


If you’re a lawyer wondering where your role fits in this new AI-powered world this episode will help you see what’s coming, what’s at stake, and how to stay ahead.

LinkedIn Masterclass for Lawyers: Speak Your Clients’ Language & Build Trust with Alana Sparrow

Too many law firms are still guessing what their clients actually care about.

They talk about themselves. Their credentials. Their features.


But not their clients’ real fears, needs, or goals.

And in law, where trust is everything, that’s a costly mistake.


In this episode, I'm sitting down with Alana Sparrow, Chief Branding Officer and Co-Founder of The Foundry for Art Design + Culture, a creative agency that helps businesses build bold, human brands that actually connect.


We dive into why most legal messaging falls flat, what branding really means beyond logos, and how law firms can build trust by actually listening and mirroring the language their clients are already using.


Alana shares her honest take on the problem with overly polished legal brands, why LinkedIn isn’t always the best place to listen to your audience, and how empowering your people to show up online can be a game changer.

Unregulated AI Lawyers: A Ticking Time Bomb? 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.

The Untold Truth About Becoming Partner in Law

Every associate is told the same story: work hard, keep your head down, and partnership will come.

But the truth is, that story is often a myth.

Partnership isn’t a straight path. It’s political, unpredictable, and sometimes out of reach.

So how do you really know if you’re on track?


In this episode, we pull back the curtain on what really happens when law firms decide who makes a partner.

Most Played Episode: Are GenZ Underestimated in Law?

Many people still see Gen Z as “lazy” or “entitled.”


What if the generation everyone underestimates is actually the one reshaping the future of law?


In this episode, I’m joined by Natalie Thomas, Legal Business Analyst at Perkins Coie. From Oxford University to Tesco, and now helping launch the London office of a US law firm, her journey proves there’s no single path into law.


We talk about how Gen Z challenges hierarchy, embraces efficiency, and collaborates differently and why those skills might be exactly what the legal industry needs. Natalie also shares her unconventional route into law, the importance of mentorship and social mobility, and why diversity isn’t just nice-to-have, but a business imperative.


If you’ve ever wondered how the next generation will transform law firms, this conversation is the answer.

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.

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.

More Than A Lawyer with Holly Cope
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.
