It’s April Fools’ Day—but what you’re about to hear is no joke . The legal industry is facing a quiet revolution. AI tools are writing demand letters. Offshore teams are handling case management. And some of the biggest personal injury firms in the country are pulling in $25,000 per case—while still struggling to turn a profit. So what gives? In this episode, Brian Glass sits down with Gabriel Stiritz, founder of Lexamica and one of the sharpest minds in legal tech and strategy, to answer the question that’s on every small firm owner’s mind: What will your law firm look like in 2030—and will it even exist? Together, they unpack the rise of cost compression, the ethics of passing AI expenses onto clients, and why operations—not just marketing—now make or break your business. Gabriel also shares why Big Law’s playbook might not be worth copying, and how small firms can win by staying scrappy, service-oriented, and deeply rooted in their communities. If you've ever wondered whether it’s worth chasing scale, if 40% fees are sustainable, or how to compete in a market increasingly owned by hedge funds and software… this conversation is your roadmap. This isn’t just a forecast—it’s a challenge. And the time to rethink your strategy is now. Press play to hear what’s coming—and what to do about it.
