AI is making lawyers faster.

But it may also be making them worse.

Because the real value in law has never been documents.

It’s judgment.

And here’s the problem.

Research suggests up to 90% of expert legal knowledge is tacit.

It lives inside experienced lawyers’ heads.

The signals they notice.
The risks they prioritise.
The conclusions they reach quickly.

If AI removes the work junior lawyers used to learn from…

Where does that judgment come from?

This week on the Legally Speaking Podcast ™️, I sat down with Wendy Jephson, CEO & Co-Founder of Let's Think.

A former lawyer turned behavioural scientist and tech founder.

Her view is clear.

The firms that win in the AI era won’t just automate work.

They’ll amplify expert thinking.

In this week’s newsletter we cover:

🔴 Why AI could reshape how lawyers develop expertise
🔴 How firms can make expert thinking visible
