Why every lawyer needs to get their hands dirty with AI

We're back with Season Five of The Influencers. This season, we turn the spotlight on one of the most pressing questions facing the legal profession today: how can lawyers continue to learn, adapt, and create value in an age of AI? 

 

In the opening episode, host Leo von Gerlach welcomes new co-host Charmian Aw and gives listeners an opportunity to get to know the voice that will join him throughout the season. Together, they discuss the habits and approaches that will help lawyers succeed amid rapid technological change, from looking beyond traditional legal sources and embracing lifelong learning to experimenting with AI tools firsthand. Their conversation explores why curiosity, adaptability, and a willingness to "get your hands dirty" with technology will be essential for lawyers navigating the future of the profession.
