  • Building Legal AI That Lawyers Can Actually Rely On (ft. Deeligence)
    Episode Summary

    Georgie Healy speaks with Elena Tsalanidis and Justin Hansky, co-founders of Deeligence, a legal AI startup transforming the way law firms handle M&A due diligence. Both ex-lawyers, Elena and Justin share how their deep domain expertise led them to build an AI platform that accelerates contract review with accuracy lawyers can trust, without ever compromising on confidentiality.

    They reveal why generic tools like ChatGPT fall short in legal workflows, and how Deeligence combines machine learning with human oversight to safely automate one of the most tedious parts of legal practice. The duo breaks down the erosion of the billable hour, the rise of vertical AI tools, and why some partners still red-pen documents like it’s 1998.

    Throughout the episode, they reflect on the cultural barriers to AI adoption in law, the importance of custom training data, and the pressures of building AI-native products for regulated, high-stakes environments. Elena and Justin also share candid takes on fundraising, global expansion, and how legal AI can empower rather than replace lawyers.

    Whether you’re in law, tech, or somewhere in between, this episode offers a rare look into building AI that doesn’t just work, but works where it really matters.
