Lawyers Can't Ignore AI Anymore feat. Misty Leon

What happens when your legal career looks successful, but you know you're ready for something different? Misty Leon returns to You Are a Lawyer with a completely new chapter. After a career that included Big Law, becoming a partner at a boutique firm, and working in-house, Misty left her corporate legal role to launch Practical Counsel Advisors, where she helps small and mid-sized law firms improve their operations, processes, and approach to AI. In this episode, Misty talks with Kyla Denanyoh about why she originally planned to wait years before starting her business, what finally convinced her to move sooner, and what she's learning about trusting her instincts as a new entrepreneur. They also dive into the practical side of AI in law firms, including why technology can't fix broken processes, the importance of supervising AI output, and why ignoring AI is increasingly becoming a decision in itself. For lawyers considering a career change, Misty also shares why you don't have to quit tomorrow. Sometimes changing direction starts with one course, one connection, one new skill, or simply taking the first step. *** Want to be a guest?
