A senior litigator was telling me about his career last week. Thirty-five years in. Civil litigation. Big firm and now solo. We were talking about what actually changed in the practice.
He said the thing nobody talks about is what disappeared after 2020.
Not the trials. Those had been declining for years. Not the case-management conferences - Zoom handled those fine. What disappeared was the hallway BS.
The conversation in the courthouse cafeteria after a hearing. The walk down to Fred's office two doors down: "What do you think damages might be on this one - am I missing anything?" The drink after a deposition. The half-sentence over coffee that became the argument that won the case.
For fifty years, that was the actual mechanism that built legal competence. Not CLEs. Not firm trainings. The informal "let me bounce one off you" conversation in physical proximity to other lawyers who knew the work.
Zoom killed it. Remote work finished it.
The senior litigator I was talking to gets to retire with the skill he built in the hallway. The junior litigator coming up in 2026 will never have that. She will get her Zoom CLE, her case-management software, her billing platform. She will not have a Fred down the hall.
Here is what most legal-AI vendors are missing.
The most valuable thing AI can do for lawyers is not draft the brief faster.
It is be the Fred down the hall.
The "let me bounce one off you." The "am I missing something." The "what would you argue if you were on the other side." Those are not productivity tasks. Those are competence-building tasks. They are exactly what disappeared in 2020 and exactly what nothing has replaced.
This is the actual case for AI in legal. Not faster work. Sharper lawyers. The informal sharpening conversation, on demand, every day, no scheduling required.
The 35-year litigator gets to retire with the skill he built in the hallway.
The 35-year-old litigator coming up now will only get to that skill if she builds her own Fred.
That is the work.

I still remember the first time I used an AI tool. That initial 'wow' is what most people experience, but as you use it more, you start to see the drawbacks and where it fails. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Tech #Innovation #FirstImpressions #PatentlyGoodIdeas #WardLawOffice

Only applies to law firms with less than $300M in revenue and law firms with more than 50% of their revenue derived from contingency fee arrangements.
What an interesting carveout for Big Law
Illinois passed a bill to prevent PE firms from controlling law firms
The bill closed legal loopholes that allowed PE firms and other investors to control law firms without technically owning them
It is already illegal for non-lawyers to control law firms

Exactly right. The bottleneck has never been compute or capital. Its taste and judgment about what humans actually want. Infinite compute just makes the great founders faster and the confused ones more confused. x.com/dflieb/status/20601962…

Thought experiment: if every company suddenly had infinite free compute, what new products would emerge?
My take: with very few exceptions, not much would change. The bottleneck is figuring out what people want, and it’s not so easy to apply compute to solve that.
