Five years inside a US law firm watching how legal work actually moves — not the pitch decks, the actual work. Now I publish what I find and help firms redesign operations around the split that matters.
I'm not an AI vendor. I'm not reselling tools. I'm not reposting press releases. I'm an operator who understands legal work from the inside and builds infrastructure around it.
Long-form research for the strategy. Daily observations for the tactics. Read the thesis, join the conversation.
Deep essays on the architecture of the future firm. Economics, structural shifts, and the long-term posture required to not get flattened. Published every week. Open access.
Real-time observations, mental models, and raw reads from inside the trenches of legal tech implementation. Where the firms that will survive are asking the right questions early.
