Is the traditional law firm model becoming obsolete? How do you transition from a legacy practice to a truly "AI-native" firm without losing quality or profitability?

In today’s episode of the Technically Legal Podcast, we’re catching up with Laurence Brown to break down his 25-year career as a patent attorney and his work as a Partner at EIP, where they are pioneering "hybrid intelligence" through Visser AI.

With a front-row seat to the intersection of intellectual property and emerging tech, Laurence offers a candid, insider perspective on how AI is actively redesigning traditional, linear patent workflows.

In this episode, we discuss:
🔷 Defining AI-Native: Why a true AI-native firm goes beyond simple prompting to fundamentally redesigning workflows from the ground up.
🔷 The Economics of AI: The transition from billable hours to fixed fees and how AI efficiency maintains law firm profitability while reducing client costs.
🔷 Redesigning Workflows: How AI enables parallel workflows in patent drafting, allowing senior and junior attorneys to break the traditional linear process.
🔷 Specialist vs. Generalist AI: Why purpose-built platforms like Patently significantly outperform general-purpose LLMs in complex legal contexts.

Laurence’s message is clear: AI not only delivers faster, more cost-effective results for clients without compromising quality, but also makes the day-to-day work of attorneys more engaging.
