Listen Later

What happens when the nation’s most successful law firm owners debate where the legal industry is headed next?

As part of the “Road to the Summit”, a special series ramping up to the 2025 Game Changers Summit this November 12–13, we’re revisiting some of the most powerful conversations ever featured at our events. In this encore episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, we revisit the Law Firm of the Future panel live from the 2022 Game Changers Summit, where Michael Mogill sits down with Alexander Shunnarah, Anthony Johnson, Bob Tharp, and Eric Chaffin for an unfiltered conversation about the forces reshaping the legal industry and what it takes to lead in the next era.


Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Why Wall Street’s arrival in legal services could transform how firms grow and compete
  • How to use data, KPIs, and culture to strengthen your firm’s foundation before outside investors do
  • What it takes to future-proof your business in an era of automation, consolidation, and client-driven expectations

  • The future of law isn’t waiting — it’s already here. Are you ready to lead it?
