AI Tools for Practicing Lawyers · 2026-04-15 · 38 min
In this episode, we’re joined by Carolyn Elefant , a longtime advocate for solo and small firm lawyers and the founder of MyShingle.com . We start with Carolyn’s upcoming AI for Lawyer Moms workshop - why she created it, who it’s for, and how AI is uniquely positioned to help lawyers working in the “crevices” of their day. From there, we shift into a timely discussion of Management Service Organizations (MSOs) - what they are, why they’re gaining traction, and the risks they may pose for solo and small firm independence. We also explore how client expectations are changing in the age of AI , why lawyers can no longer ignore these tools, and how even small workflow upgrades can create meaningful time savings. Finally, we wrap with a Practice Signal on managing client decision-making risk and an FSJ (Flintstones - Simpsons - Jetsons) segment featuring practical resources to help lawyers level up their AI fluency. ⏱️ Chapter Markers 00:00 - Intro & Guest Welcome Meet Carolyn Elefant and her work in the solo/small firm and AI space 01:00 - AI for Lawyer Moms: Why Now?
