Most people think of law as a service you buy by the hour. My guest today, Jeremy Neilson, thinks of it as an engine you build for scale.
Jeremy is the co-founder of Sally and former CEO of Assure, where he pioneered the infrastructure that allows venture capitalists and angel investors to launch Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) at a fraction of traditional cost and time. Across his career, he's structured 9,000+ SPVs, onboarded 250,000+ investors, and helped raise over $14 billion.
In this conversation, we go deep on the mechanics of SPVs, why most law firms are dangerously behind on productization, how AI and automation are quietly rewriting billable-hour economics, and what new attorneys should actually do in a Big Law hiring freeze. If you run a business-law, securities, or investment-focused firm — or you're a legal tech founder trying to crack the attorney mindset — this episode is a masterclass.
