No Precedent: Building an AI-Native Practice

This is part two of our doubleheader with Isaac Wall. Isaac built a formation tool with AI to streamline the process for both founders and attorneys. In this episode, we're talk about the workflow for lawyers, after they receive the necessary information from founders. We covered the founder experience in the last episode, so you can go back and watch that if you missed it. 

Isaac is founder and partner at Parallax Law, a corporate law firm that works with tech companies. He is looking to partner with firms who want to offer this product to their clients. Check out the project at https://formations.parallaxlaw.ai.
