What Good Is a Lawyer in the Age of AI?
If AI can research the law in minutes, draft legal analysis, and cost a fraction of a lawyer’s hourly rate, what are you really paying a lawyer for? In this episode of AI Experience, Julien Redelsperger welcomes Damien Riehl, a lawyer, technologist, and software developer working at the intersection of law and artificial intelligence. You’ll hear how AI is changing legal research, challenging the billable-hour model, and allowing clients to handle more legal work on their own. Damien explains why a task that once took 12 hours can now take minutes, and why law firms may need to rethink how they price their services and demonstrate their value.
