He turned one lawyer’s struggle into a global AI company.

This week on the Legally Speaking Podcast ™️, I sat down with Nnamdi Emelifeonwu, Co-Founder and CEO of Definely, one of the fastest-growing legal-tech companies in the world and now backed by Clio Ventures.

💡 Once a Freshfields associate, Nnamdi left the Magic Circle to tackle one of law’s biggest pain points: the endless complexity of drafting and reviewing contracts.

Here’s what makes this episode worth every minute:

🔴 How Definely went from helping a visually-impaired lawyer access contracts more easily, to transforming how thousands of lawyers work globally.

🔴 Why the secret to true innovation isn’t speed or hype, but going inch-wide, mile-deep on real user problems.

🔴 What Nnamdi learned about grit, patience, and the “seven-year rule” of building any legal-tech startup that lasts.

🔴 How accessibility and inclusion can spark world-changing technology.

Two standout quotes from Nnamdi that say it all:

“Whatever timeline you have for success, add seven years.”

“We didn’t build Definely to make law look cool. We built it so everyone, whatever their ability, can do their best work.”

This conversation dives deep into entrepreneurship, accessibility, and how AI can genuinely simplify the way the world understands information.
