Hey there, I’m Zach Abramowitz and I am Legally Disrupted! 15 years ago, my legal career was disrupted by tech. Today, I’m advising the some of the most influential legal service providers in the world on their AI strategy and investing in some of the promising #legalAI startups. Every week, I talk to the builders, founders, operators, and decision-makers driving change in a legal ecosystem being reshaped by AI. We don’t just revel in the gloriousness of AI -- we do that too! But, we also break down complex ideas and separate signal from noise. Our content focuses on what’s real, what matters, and what everyone else is missing. So what are you waiting for? Let’s get disrupted!","last_synced_at":"2026-06-24T04:17:51.983782+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/zach-abramowitz-is-legally-disrupted-6704988"},"episode":{"title":"E44 - Building a Law Firm and a Product: LawPro.ai Co-Founder and Zirkin Schmerling Partner, Josh Schmerling","slug":"e44-building-a-law-firm-and-a-product-lawpro-ai-co-founder-and-zirkin-schmerling-partner-josh-schmerling","published_at":"2026-03-26T13:38:28+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/zach-abramowitz-is-legally-disrupted-6704988/e44-building-a-law-firm-and-a-product-lawpro-ai-co-founder-and-zirkin-schmerling-partner-josh-schmerling","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/zach-abramowitz-is-legally-disrupted-6704988","url":"https://ZachAbramowitzisLegallyDisrupted.podbean.com/e/e44-building-a-law-firm-and-a-product-lawpro-co-founder-and-zirkin-schmerling-partner-josh-schmerling/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/fjwsi9gh6d6awsyg/ZALD_-_2026_02_25_-_Josh_Schmerling_-_Edit_16sbvv.mp3","summary":"Zach Abramowitz sits down with Josh Schmerling, partner at Zirkin & Schmerling and co-founder of LawPro.ai, to explore how building technology inside a law firm is reshaping personal injury practice.
