I expected lawyers to be behind on AI & I was wrong.I came to know a lawyer very well over the course of building linkedin.com/company/ga…with Dorna Moini .

For the past 3 years people have heard me blabbering about how engineers and lawyers are wired the same. In rough lines, both types are geeks with a passion for details and poor sales skills. In practice, the similarities in how we work are striking. There is no surprise computer code and legal code are the applications that are seeing the fastest adoption of AI.

My newest substack explores this fact in more details:

I expected lawyers to be anti AI. They are not. They are anti hand-waving. And so are engineers. So the path to adoption means that legal AI must be grounded in their documents, their precedents, their workflows, and their professional judgment.

We are building these harnesses directly inside Gavel and Microsoft Word - helping lawyers move faster with AI, and without asking them to lower their standards.

That distinction matters. Would love your thoughts.
