More Than A Lawyer with Holly Cope

The Biggest Risk to Lawyers in 2026


Listen Later

In this episode, I'm joined by three leaders working at the highest levels of legal practice and regulation.


Brett Dixon, Vice President of the Law Society of England and Wales and a long-time advocate for access to justice, legal innovation, and procedural reform.


William Findlay, Head of Legal Regulatory at Revolut.


James Smither, Global Head of Risk Management at Freshfields. James is a self-described "risk geek" dedicated to redefining how law firms perceive uncertainty as both a massive upside and a critical downside.



We explore one of the biggest questions facing the legal profession: where should AI stop and human judgement begin?


From algorithmic bias and hallucinations to governance, legal risk, and the future of common law, this conversation goes far beyond productivity tools. We discuss why the flexibility of human judgement remains one of the legal system's greatest strengths and what could be lost if we hand too much decision-making to machines.


You'll hear perspectives on AI, justice, legal ethics, risk management, and the future of legal practice that most lawyers aren't talking about yet.

Each week I take what I'm hearing in conversations with legal leaders.


I analyze the market and track emerging trends in this AI era.


In my newsletter called The Future Lawyer Market Intel for the AI era


I'm focused on:


What AI is exposing

The opportunities

The blind spots

And the shifts shaping the next five years.


This is how you see the chessboard before everyone else does:
