Most Popular ProgramDemystifying AI: What Every Lawyer Needs to Know

The lawyers getting the most leverage from AI are not the ones with a secret stash of clever prompts. They are the ones who understand enough about how these systems work to see where AI helps, where it quietly fails, and how to stay in control. This signature session demystifies AI, breaks down prompting fundamentals, and moves into the working patterns that turn AI into a genuine thought partner for legal work.

What audiences walk away with:

  • Understanding the "why" behind hallucinations to help reduce them
  • Context rot, and other subtle ways AI can silently fail
  • How to shift AI's role from answer-generator to thought partner
  • Practical habits for reviewing AI output critically

Highest LeverageTrain the Champions: AI Activation at Scale

Champions are busy lawyers, not professional trainers, and building AI lessons from scratch is hard. This program hands them everything they need to deliver high-quality, practice-specific AI training to their own groups, the easy way. The result is leverage: a single engagement activates AI skill-building across many practice groups at once, with the firm's strongest practitioners leading it.

What champions walk away with:

  • A toolkit of fillable lesson templates so they can teach without building anything from scratch
  • A shared AI vocabulary to bring back to their practice group
  • A realistic, low-burden cadence designed around busy lawyers who aren't full-time trainers
  • Monthly or quarterly check-ins with Ben to keep momentum and address new challenges

Starts with a kickoff session (virtual or in-person), followed by 60-minute monthly orquarterly check-ins over 12 months. Additional support available.
