MODERN LEGAL EDUCATION & PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

→ The Generative AI Blueprint online course. Taken by over 1000 lawyers and business professionals throughout the global market. From AmLaw 50 firms, judges, and bar associations, to in-house teams, this course is garnering serious praise for its ability to take novice users and turn them into responsible and skillful users in under 5 hours. This is a highly pragmatic self-paced 100% online course.

→ The Brainyacts newsletter. Close to 5600 legal professionals read my twice-weekly newsletter on pragmatic and practical uses of ChatGPT and other generative AI tools. Subscribe HERE.

→ The BigLaw associate 90-day Challenge - Working with 23 first-year lawyers at an AmLaw 50 firm, I created a system to accelerate their business understanding of their practice groups and clients. This is not academic. It is geared toward actions they can take now to make them better associates for their partners and to help them grow their practice groups. This program began with a 2-day in-person workshop (3 hours each day). It continues as a weekly email from me that guides them through the process.

→ Buying & Selling Law Firms: Entrepreneurship-by-acquisition - This is an ongoing research and ecosystem-build project. Smaller law firms struggle to define succession and retirement. Providing liquidity to these lawyer(s) by selling their firm provides an accelerated ramp for new growth for the acquiring lawyer and a glide path toward retirement for the owner/lawyer.
