In today's episode, Mary sits down with James O'Dowd, CEO and founder of Patrick Morgan, to explore what legal can learn from the PE and AI disruption already reshaping accounting and consulting. James breaks down why governance is the real unlock private equity brings, how compensation models are shifting away from legacy profit-sharing, and why cultural buy-in ultimately determines whether any of it sticks. On AI, James unpacks the concept of "talent debt" and closes with a bold prediction: a major technology player acquiring a large professional services firm may not be as far off as it sounds.
