Life Beyond the Briefs

Using AI to Make a Solo Practice Scalable | Carolyn Elefant


Listen Later

What happens when one of the original voices in solo law practice meets the cutting edge of AI?

At 8AM’s Kaleidoscope event, Brian sat down with Carolyn Elefant - legendary founder of MyShingle, author of Solo by Choice, and environmental justice attorney fighting Big Energy with bold strategy and even bolder tech.

In this conversation, Carolyn shares how she:

  • Turned a dot-com-era blog into a pipeline for high-value clients
  • Uses AI to decode 200-page rulings in minutes (and train new lawyers fast)
  • Created a playbook so effective, government agencies distributed it for her
  • Is building an AI-first law firm offshoot with scalability in mind

This isn’t your average solo practice story. It’s a deep dive into how to work smarter, build authority, and design a law firm that actually fits your life — not the other way around.

Whether you’re solo-curious, tech-savvy, or just sick of the billable grind, this episode will make you rethink what’s possible.

Hit play and get inspired by Carolyn’s unapologetic, future-facing approach to law.
