Ep. 32 - The #1 Mistake Law Firm Owners Make When Implementing AI

AI is rapidly transforming the legal industry—but most law firms are getting it wrong.

In this episode of the Law Firm Growth Acceleration Podcast, we break down the single biggest mistake law firm owners make when trying to implement AI: nobody owns it. While firms are busy testing “cool” AI tools, they fail to assign clear leadership, accountability, and strategy—causing AI initiatives to stall, fragment, or fail entirely.

We explore why AI implementation should be treated like marketing, intake, or finance—with a dedicated owner—and why expecting law firm owners or already-busy teams to lead AI adoption is a recipe for frustration. You’ll learn why hiring a full-time CTO is unrealistic for most firms, how a fractional CTO model solves the problem, and how becoming an AI-first law firm can dramatically increase profitability, efficiency, and even your firm’s valuation.

If you want to future-proof your firm, scale smarter, and avoid falling behind as the legal industry evolves, this episode is a must-listen.
