The Hidden Reason Junior Lawyers May Disappear from Law Firms | Quentin Solt | S10E42
"The people who are guaranteed to win are the lawyers. The people who are guaranteed to lose, you and me." - Quentin SoltOn today’s Legally Speaking Podcast, sponsored by Clio, I’m delighted to be joined by Quentin Solt. Quentin is a veteran UK corporate and technology lawyer. He trained at Pinsent Masons, moved to a London firm where he ran an insolvency group, and became an early internet and legal-tech adopter. He now writes widely on LinkedIn about how AI will reshape law. In our conversation today, he lays out his main ideas. Quentin believes that AI only has to be "good enough": reliable, quick, cheap and safe enough for a client to decide. He backs this with a story of an AI tool matching or beating several legal-AI products and his own review of a £6.5m credit facility. Second, his "consumption paradox": legal work will be consumed far more as it gets cheap, but fewer humans will be needed to supply it, and law may eventually be sold like a utility. He sees the traditional law-firm pyramid as unsustainable and expects the junior and trainee role to disappear, though the timing is uncertain and the change may arrive suddenly, like a tsunami. He argues that lawyers' "judgment" is largely sophisticated pattern-matching. What stays valuable is being a trusted adviser who walks the whole transaction with the client. He also predicts the billable hour will unwind quickly, and he describes "living contracts": ongoing, renegotiated agreements built on trust and accountability.So why should you be listening in? You can hear Rob and Quentin discussing:- What Makes AI Good Enough- Expanding Legal Consumption- Disrupting the Law Firm Pyramid- Replacing the Billable Hour- Successfully Building Client RelationshipsConnect with Quentin Solt here - https://uk.linkedin.com/in/quentin-solt

Welcome back to our 2026 edition of the Professional Training miniseries. We have a brand new regional edition continuing on from the last conference we attended, but packed with even more highlights and insights. Filmed at Manchester Hall, these minisodes explore high performance leadership, career growth, innovation and what it takes to thrive in today’s legal world.In the final minisode of the regional edition, we talk to Simon Price. He is the Learning and Development Manager for Kennedys and he argues that high-performing legal teams are built less on output metrics alone than on a culture of learning, reflection, feedback, and knowledge-sharing. Simon tells us about hybrid leadership requiring intentional inclusion through regular opportunities to connect and collaborate, while psychological safety means people can ask for help, admit uncertainty, take considered risks and learn from mistakes without lowering standards. He also stresses that lawyers and business-services teams should work as one around the client problem, that resilience includes recognising when to pause rather than simply enduring pressure and that a curiosity mindset helps people reframe challenges and keep on improving.You can Hear Rob and Simon talking about:- Building learning into everyday work- Creating connection across hybrid teams- Encouraging speaking up and learning- Solving client problems across teams- Recognising limits and restoring resilience.Connect with Simon Price - https://uk.linkedin.com/in/simonpricecoach

Michael is the founder and managing partner of McCready Law, an experienced trial lawyer and a strong advocate for legal technology and innovation.
