It's Not the End of the World: Everyday Use Cases for AI · 2025-11-14 · 33 min

Episode notes

“It’s adapt or die… and the billable hour won’t survive.” Freshfields partner Jerome Ranawake joins me to talk about how AI is reshaping big-law from the inside: proprietary Gemini tools, NotebookLM for class actions and due diligence, and why clients are now demanding to know how their firms use AI. We dig into what this means for trainees, why rote document review is disappearing, and why Jerome thinks the future looks more like apprenticeships and value-based fees than armies of juniors billing by the hour.
