On today’s episode, Ben Shillito, founder of digital transformation consultancy Olus, joins Leo von Gerlach for a conversation about what happens when AI starts taking on the mechanics of legal work and how that could change the role of lawyers for good. 

Drawing on his experience across private practice, in-house legal teams and digital transformation, Ben argues that AI adoption is about far more than efficiency. The conversation explores whether lawyers could learn judgment the way pilots train in simulators, how teams should divide work between humans and technology, and what will distinguish the most successful firms when everyone has access to similar AI tools. Ultimately, Ben argues that as AI takes on more of the mechanics of legal work, lawyers will be free to focus on what has always been at the heart of the profession: helping people cooperate, navigate competing interests, and find common ground.
