What if the future of law is not about working harder, but choosing to work differently?

This week on the Legally Speaking Podcast ™️, proudly sponsored by Clio, I sat down with Brett Colvin, CEO and Co Founder of Goodlawyer, and it turned into one of the most honest conversations we’ve had about law, careers, and leadership.

Here is why this episode is worth your time:

🔴 Why the traditional billable-hour model is under real pressure and what replaces it
🔴 How fractional legal careers are giving lawyers more flexibility, income, and control
🔴 Why AI is not replacing lawyers, but removing the drudgery
🔴 The leadership reality few talk about, how isolating the top seat can feel
🔴 Why selling time is limiting, and owning value changes everything

Brett is refreshingly honest about what is broken and what needs to change.

Two moments that really landed for me:

“The future of law requires lawyers to own a little more risk and that is good for everyone.”

“If we win the talent, the revenue and growth take care of themselves.”

We also go deep on:

🔴 Why the future is fractional for in house teams
🔴 How Goodlawyer embeds top tier lawyers into real business problems
🔴 What law firms risk if they rely on inertia instead of intention
🔴 Why unmet legal need is still massive, even inside large organisations

One question for you:
If AI is removing the busywork, what should lawyers double down on instead?

This episode is about building careers with intention, businesses with courage, and a legal profession that actually works for humans.
