33X ROI: The 3 Profit Leaks Hiding in Your Law Firm — with Alejo Pijuan

What if your firm pays for every lead, then sends 60% of them straight to the firm next door? In this episode, Sasha Berson sits down with Alejo Pijuan, co-founder and Chief AI Officer of Realization Partners, the AI-driven profitability consultancy that helped a 100+ attorney firm add $3.5M in yearly profit on a $105K investment. Alejo reveals the 3 places where money actually leaks out of a law firm, and why AI should fix the business before it ever touches the legal work. Sasha explains why faster tech adoption is turning your local market into a zero-sum game (and why some PI firms are already buying up competitors' case pipelines).
