AI training for legal teams

Make AI a
practice
advantage.

You know the work. Turn that expertise into AI-enabled work that clients notice and the P&L reflects.

Hands-on training for partners, general counsel and legal operations leaders, led by a former law-firm partner who builds the systems himself.

The legal build loop

  1. Find the value

    Start with a task the practice repeats every week.

  2. Build the workflow

    Turn legal expertise into a working example.

  3. Test the boundaries

    Evaluate accuracy, privilege, permissions and exceptions.

  4. Lead the adoption

    Give the work an owner and a measure.

Practical governance is part of the work, not a gate added at the end.

Built around what the practice values

01Leverage

Redesign high-friction matter work

02Clients

Deliver value they can see

03Adoption

Move with clear controls

Team Training

Train the whole team.
In one session.

Two hours, live, on the AI platform your firm or department already uses. Everyone learns the fundamentals, sets the AI up to work safely and leaves with a workflow they can repeat, built on examples from your matters.

01

Learn

The fundamentals.

What AI is good at and where it goes wrong, including confident mistakes in legal analysis, how to ask for work clearly with the CRAFTS method, and the usage limits that matter with long documents.

Take away

Clear requests that return usable first drafts.

02

Use

Set it up and work safely.

Personal and project instructions, privilege and confidentiality in practice, what never goes into the tool, and checking every output against the matter file before a lawyer relies on it.

Take away

A project with your reference material and the habit of checking.

03

Build

Make it repeatable.

Work inside the apps your lawyers already use, turn a request they repeat into a reusable skill, and schedule it, such as a weekly matter status update.

Take away

One workflow the practice runs every week.

Built for your context. A practice group, a legal department or a legal operations team. The examples are agreed with you in advance, around where you are starting.

Legal expertise is the prerequisite.
Coding experience is not.

Applied learning

Start where the
practice feels friction.

Select exercises tied to how your practice or department actually runs. Each one connects a legal problem, a working example and a way to judge whether it helps.

  1. Intake01

    From a messy request to a triaged matter.

    Practice turning emails, forms and attachments into a structured intake record, with the missing facts flagged and the right owner suggested.

    What to measureTime to first response · completeness · reassignments

  2. Matter status02

    Give clients a report that needs no follow-up call.

    Assemble a source-linked status update from the matter file, docket and time entries. Nothing in it that cannot be traced to a document.

    What to measureReporting time · client questions · corrections

  3. Redline explanation03

    Explain the changes before the call.

    Compare two drafts and produce a plain-language summary of what moved, why it matters and which points need a lawyer, for a lawyer to verify before it is sent.

    What to measureReview time · accuracy · points missed

  4. Conflicts04

    Make the conflicts screen a prioritized queue.

    Use synthetic party and matter data to surface possible conflicts, rank them by risk and prepare the evidence for a human clearance decision.

    What to measureScreen time · false positives · escalation quality

  5. Billing narrative05

    Turn time entries into narratives the client accepts.

    Draft compliant billing narratives from raw entries and outside counsel guidelines, with exceptions flagged for the billing partner to approve.

    What to measureWrite-downs · rejected entries · preparation time

  6. Playbook review06

    Give the team a first-pass review that follows the playbook.

    Prototype an NDA or standard-agreement review that applies your playbook, marks deviations and stops where the playbook is silent.

    What to measureTurnaround · deviations caught · escalations

Illustrative workshop exercises, not claims of completed client engagements. Labs use synthetic or explicitly approved material; a training prototype is not a production deployment.

Learn what to do
when the AI is wrong.

Every lab makes room for exceptions, evidence and lawyer approval. Leaders learn to ask what the system can access, what it may never see, how its output is evaluated and when it must stop and ask for help.

Governance
by doing.

Your instructor & building partner

An operator's lens.
A builder's hands.
A lawyer's judgment.

View my background

I work at the intersection of business transformation, hands-on AI building and practical governance.

I've spent six years doing business transformation in legal, led teams as a law-firm partner and consultant, and operated businesses as an entrepreneur. I understand the P&L, and the work it takes to change the processes behind it.

I also build applied AI and multi-agent systems myself. That means we can move from an executive's idea to the workflow, infrastructure, business logic and controls that would make it useful.

My legal background is an advantage when procurement, privacy, risk or governance slows adoption. The goal is to help your team move with sound judgment.

The legal context

The capability is moving
closer to the matter.

Firms and legal departments are buying AI faster than they are building the judgment to use it, and the people who can do both law and the building are scarce. My training offer focuses on the complementary need: leaders who can identify, evaluate and sponsor that work in their own practice.

Start with your practice

What should you
be able to do with AI?

Let's build the training around that.
