Great project by John Scrudato at Latham & Watkins - check it out. Great to see folks at law firms building products for the market. Also see for example the AL story before this one about CompetitionAI, built by a lawyer who is still at Clifford Chance. LINK: https://lnkd.in/efWymXzn #legaltech #buildingbuildingbuilding

Definitely plenty of mixed signals for global law firms with rising M&A activity, evolving regulatory and policy settings and rapid technological change - but a fair degree of optimism that this will create opportunities for some fascinating work in 2025. https://lnkd.in/gDesuHvy

Speaking with Danny Gilbert about his experience co-founding law firm Gilbert + Tobin more than 30 years ago, how the market has since changed and how challenging that would be to do again today, I was struck by all the questions he constantly has in mind. "The house is never built" was a theme we returned to a couple of times in our interview for Capital Brief: "You can't build a brand of distinction unless you've got the best lawyers, and you've constantly got to be asking yourself that question. You've got to determine, where do we want to practise? What is the focus of the practice? Who are our clients, what's the sort of work we're doing? And then you have to ask yourself the question, do we have the best people? Are we developing the best people to take ownership of this space in the market? The house here is never built. You've got to be constantly re-examining and thinking about that question."
