Experience with recurring, automatable work such as commercial contracts, IT and data, corporate and venture capital, or regulatory matters.

Practical experience using AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, or legal AI products, and a willingness to adapt legal workflows to automation.

A feasible client transition plan, including a notice period and no restrictions that prevent moving your practice.
