⏳ AI isn't coming for you, but it will expose you...
AI won't replace lawyers or barristers.
It'll reveal who's hiding behind busy and who's getting better beyond AI.
One report says 74% of a lawyer's work could be automated and
22% of firms already have an AI strategy.
So yes - AI's here, and it's coming for more tasks.
But it's not coming for the lawyer or barrister.
What it will do is strip away the busywork - the tasks that once hid how many really perform.
When that's gone, the difference becomes clear:
- who can think, communicate, and lead under pressure
- and who was keeping up appearances.
Because the real threat isn't AI.
It's the profession's addiction to busyness - mistaking being busy and "perfect" for influence and high performance under pressure.
Law has long rewarded the illusion of "perfect" — tight control, flawless optics, calm faces that hide the strain.
We've normalised it.
What once built credibility now costs it — and AI is about to expose it.
AI helps with efficiency. Not trust.
High performers will still win clients, the room, and outcomes.
AI will make it impossible to hide behind busyness.
It'll reveal who performs under pressure and who has been managing optics instead of creating outcomes.
And the lawyer or barrister with the "perfect" AI prompts?
They won't be leading the profession.
They'll just be faster at producing what everyone else can create.
The ones who'll stand out?
They'll be the ones who know how to perform at high levels when it matters,
who can utilise AI for speed but rely on their judgment, clarity, and focus to achieve results.
That's the edge only high-performing, trusted lawyers and barristers will own.
If that's where you want to operate, trusted, credible, and highly effective under pressure, let's build it together.
🚀🚀 P.S. I'm looking to work with a small group of lawyers and barristers, High Performance Lawyers, starting 12 November 2025. Here's who I'm looking for:
👉 You're a lawyer or barrister with more than 2years post-qualification experience.
👉 You want to consistently perform at your best in mediations, high-stakes meetings, and difficult conversations — influencing 75% of outcomes without the usual legal performance pressure, worrying you got something wrong, or 2 a.m. replays.
👉 You can commit 1.5 hours a week from the week commencing 12 November.
👉 You're open to feedback, coaching, and advice and willing to try new ways of operating — professionally and personally.
👉 You want my personal help to move past whatever's in your way right now — fast.
If that's you, email me at [email protected] and put "I'm in" in the subject line, and I'll send you the details.
I'll be choosing the group who'll work with me 1:1 over the next few days.
⏳ Deadline: 7 November 2025
