The AI-Ready Law Firm

“Nearly three decades ago, Greg Siskind’s The Lawyer’s Guide to Marketing on the Internet helped an entire profession see that the internet wasn’t a fad - it was the future of legal practice. That same forward-looking perspective is at work in The AI-Ready Law Firm. In this timely and practical guide, Siskind, Jason Susser, and Josh Waddell offer clear, experience-driven insights on how lawyers can adapt, compete, and thrive in the age of artificial intelligence. As someone who has followed these developments since the early days of the internet, I can say with confidence: this is a book to which the legal profession should be paying close attention.”
–Jerry Lawson, President, New Strategies in Legal Tech LLC

“This book is for every lawyer - the AI enthusiast, the cautious experimenter, and the skeptic who just wants to do excellent work. Siskind, Susser, and Waddell don’t ask you to take anything on faith. They show you, with current tools and real examples from their own practice, what it looks like to practice law well in the AI era. Follow their guidance and you’ll be infinitely more capable with the technology. More importantly, you’ll be a more rigorous, thoughtful lawyer. Those two things, it turns out, are the same thing.”
–Cat Moon, Professor of the Practice, Vanderbilt Law School
