What if legal tech stopped trying to replace lawyers...and started working for them?

In Episode 19 of our Legally Speaking Podcast ™️, LegalTechTalk Uncovered 2025 miniseries, I caught up with Anna Balabina — CFO & Co-Founder of casepal — for a candid red mic conversation about the real challenges legal professionals face and the solutions that matter.

Anna’s not building hype. She’s building tools. Specifically: a connected AI ecosystem designed to help lawyers summarise, draft, translate, and analyse documents — fast, accurately, and at scale.

Here’s what we discussed:

🔴 The biggest myth about legal tech? That it can — or should — replace lawyers
🔴 Why lawyers need smart support systems, not shiny distractions
🔴 How Casepal is solving legal’s efficiency problem from the ground up
🔴 Her vision for 2030: no more manual searches, no more repetitive admin
🔴 Why LegalTechTalk 2025 surprised her — and why she’s coming back

💬 “AI can’t replace lawyers. But it can stop them wasting time. That’s what we’re solving.”

💬 “You won’t get insights like this in a book. That’s why I came here — to learn what lawyers actually need.”
