In this forward-thinking episode from Legal Geek Europe, Tanisha Minev, Global Legal Counsel at Docplanner and co-author of Legal Operations in the Age of AI and Data, challenges the outdated models of legal professionalism. In conversation with Hidde Bruinsma, she explores how in-house legal teams can become proactive business partners without losing their legal foundation.

Key topics include:

• Why the traditional T-shaped lawyer model no longer fits today’s legal reality
• Tanisha’s alternative: the “Cake Model”, a layered approach to legal skills
• How to balance legal expertise with AI literacy, business insight, and adaptability
• The growing risk of lawyers being replaced by automation if they lose their core skill set
• The need for modern legal education to reflect real-world complexity
• Why clients need more than legal research, they need legal reasoning

With clarity and boldness, Tanisha offers a compelling vision for what the lawyer of the future should look like, layered, adaptable, and deeply rooted in both law and leadership.
