What you'll learn: Why the litigation AI market has officially matured - and who's winning How Syllo was built by a litigator for litigators, not as a generic platform Why the old step-by-step workflow is dead - and what's replacing it What associates are really feeling right now, and what they need to hear Why 2025–2026 may be the most career-defining window in modern legal history 🎧 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.
