Industries / Law Firms
18 law firm founders and partners have run the AI Sprint for Founders, from a solo family practice to a firm with 300 attorneys. Privilege intact. Hours back.
Four live sessions with Tom Lambotte and Steve French. Built for people whose work product is confidential by definition.

Val runs a family law firm with offices in Victoria, Surrey, and Nanaimo. She came into the Sprint as a practicing lawyer with a full caseload and a business she wanted to work on instead of in.
In the Sprint she built a skill that writes in her voice. Then she used it to rewrite every page of the firm's website and align the Google Business profiles. The Surrey office now ranks, in her words, "Number one, organically," ahead of a competitor who "has been going hard on social media for years." Nanaimo followed.
She ran five recorded intake calls through Claude to coach her intake person on what was working and what was not. Her report: "our consults have gone, like, way up."
She has since wound her own client work down to three or four matters so she can run the firm, and she enrolled her team in the AI Sprint for Teams.
"My team is taking it this month too. They are excited, and I am excited they are doing it so they know what I have been talking about! It is too good."
“This took what normally takes 3-4 months of research and compressed it into 7 minutes.”
Lance LoRusso, LoRusso Law Firm
Lance represents first responders in use-of-force cases and writes books on the side. He ran the research for a book chapter through the Three Experts framework in Week 3. After his own Sprint he enrolled three of his team.
“I've gone from spending 3 hours editing somebody else's draft to, at best, half an hour tweaking an otherwise excellent draft.”
Subodh Chandra, The Chandra Law Firm
Subodh runs a civil rights and trial firm that files high-profile cases and has to move fast on media. He trained his AI on the firm's press release format, then handed it 70-page civil complaints that were already on the public docket. His words: the quotes it generates for him are better than what would come out of his own mouth.
“What used to take me a full day now takes just six minutes.”
Chris Carsten, Founder and CEO, Armada Law
Chris built a voice assistant trained on how he writes. On a run, he dictated a rough strategy idea and it came back as a polished marketing plan. "The AI Sprint that Tom put together has changed, really changed my life without the shadow of a doubt."
“I was using it as a delegation tool. Not as a strategic partner. Not as a creative partner. That is probably the biggest inflection point between my pre-simplifier and post-simplifier world.”
Alex Gertsburg, Managing Partner, Gertsburg Licata
Alex came in rating himself an 8 out of 10 with AI. He now says he was closer to a two and a half. He has since built a full course four weeks ahead of launch instead of two days, and he referred Natela Shenon into the Sprint.
“I've been doing a lot of analysis with it, almost like having it be a brainstorming partner. I give it lots of context and the situation, and I keep going back and forth with it.”
Natela Shenon, Grant Shenon Almaraz
Natela runs a 25-lawyer business law firm in Sherman Oaks. She used the Three Experts framework on an employee compensation dilemma and got, in her words, a really interesting solution. She has since sent three team members through the AI Sprint for Teams and joined the Founders Inner Circle.
“While I'm talking, or we're working on one thing, let AI over here generate the next four points that I need to make, or making sure that I'm not missing opportunities.”
Hans Stabell, Wood Stabell Law Group
Hans does M&A and commercial real estate work where most of the day is counseling. He came through the Sprint with his partner Nancy, whose stated time drain was billing and email.
“I had a LinkedIn post that had been drafted, and it just wasn't right, and it was driving me crazy. So I just tried talking to Claude and said, here's what's bothering me about it, can you massage it? And then, boom, it was perfect.”
Jim Farrin, Law Offices of James Scott Farrin
Jim went through the Founders Sprint, then put 33 people from his firm through a dedicated cohort. 12 rated themselves in both the Week 1 and Week 4 polls. The average moved from 5.0 to 6.9. Every one of the 12 moved up. His named test case, a self-rated zero or one, finished at a seven: "learning that I don't have to be afraid of AI."
“We could literally have a conversation in the meeting and have Whisperflow running and put it into Claude right then and there and come to a decision point, instead of thinking that we're gonna deal with it in between now and next Tuesday, and we don't.”
Ben Wadington, Operations Director, STG Divorce Law
Ben built his voice skill live in the first hot seat of Week 1 from three writing samples: a timesheet reminder, a client document request, and an internal HR note. His question coming in was how to unlock this for the rest of the team.
“To have found several ways to make my day to day office tasks more efficient and precise.”
Mark Wagoner, Partner, Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick
Mark is a partner at a 300-attorney firm and a former Ohio State Senator who chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee. That was his answer to what the Sprint did for him.
Who has already done this
18 law firm founders and partners. We checked every one against their own firm's website.
A full-service business law firm with 300+ attorneys and advisors. A 25-lawyer business law firm handling civil litigation, corporate, and real estate matters. Business law and strategic advisory for entrepreneurs and executives. Corporate and transactional law: M&A, real estate, commercial. Real estate law: purchases, refinances, commercial leasing.
A family law and divorce firm with a dispute resolution focus in British Columbia. Divorce, family law, child custody, and mediation in the Chicago suburbs. Estate planning, probate, asset protection, and elder law. A health law firm advising hospitals, family health teams, and clinics on privacy, risk, and credentialing.
Personal injury. The largest personal injury firm in North Carolina. A plaintiff firm founded in 1985 handling personal injury, employment, environmental, and class action cases. A trial firm handling litigation, white collar defense, and civil rights. Legal representation for first responders in use-of-force cases. A boutique immigration firm handling employment and family-based cases. A U.S. immigration and recruiting firm for foreign national workers.
If you run a practice, someone who runs what you run has already done this.
Five things they brought to it, in their own words.
Confidentiality, first and always. Janie Sapon, an immigration lawyer, wrote it down before Week 1: "Find ways to use this that feel secure for us and for our clients, but allows us to really think outside the box so that we can just do so much more without needing to hire a lot more people." That is the whole assignment. No client file or privileged communication went into an AI tool, just the lawyer's own writing, processes, and documents already on the public docket. These are regulated practices: state bar associations in the United States, the provincial law society in British Columbia, and the equivalent wherever else they practice.
The research that eats a quarter. Lance LoRusso compressed three to four months of book research into seven minutes with the Three Experts framework. Subodh Chandra trained his AI on the firm's press release format and now spends 30 minutes tweaking instead of three hours editing.
Intake and the website. Val Hemminger rewrote every page of her firm's site in her own voice, and her Surrey office now ranks first organically. She coached her intake person using five recorded calls, and consults went, in her words, way up.
Decisions that wait until next Tuesday. Ben Wadington's team now talks a problem through in the meeting with Whisper Flow running, drops it into Claude, and comes out with a decision instead of a deferral. Natela Shenon ran an employee compensation dilemma through three experts and got an answer she had not considered.
The team. Jim Farrin put 33 people through a dedicated firm cohort. Lance LoRusso enrolled three of his team. Natela Shenon sent three. Val Hemminger sent hers.
Four live sessions. You bring your own work. You leave with systems that run.

Send me the reportNothing in the Sprint puts client files, privileged communications, or matter details into an AI tool, and we teach you exactly where that line is. The work lawyers do in the Sprint is about their own writing, processes, research, marketing, and decisions. That is where the hours are. Your ethics obligations stay yours, and your state bar or law society guidance on AI stays the reference.
The lawyers on this page report the opposite problem: more capacity than they had before. Val Hemminger's consults went up. Lance LoRusso freed three to four months of research time. Subodh Chandra got two and a half hours back per press release. What you do with the capacity is the strategic question, and Week 4 answers it.
Start with you. Then bring the team through the AI Sprint for Teams so the paralegals, associates, and operations staff build the same systems. Lance LoRusso sent three. Natela Shenon sent three. Jim Farrin took 33 people through a dedicated firm cohort and the average self-rating moved from 5.0 to 6.9 in four weeks.
The frameworks work in any AI tool. We work in Claude. Subodh Chandra does his press releases in Gemini. Jim Farrin's firm runs on Claude. They transfer to Copilot or whatever your firm has approved. You learn how to think with AI, and that carries into whatever product you use.
Four live 90-minute sessions over four weeks, plus the time you spend applying it to your own work between sessions. We record every session. Most founders report the time back within the first two weeks.
Tom Lambotte and Steve French, co-founders of AI Simplifier. Tom has coached Tony Robbins one-on-one on AI and trained Peter Diamandis's leadership team. Steve has spent 30 years putting technology to work for leaders and teams. Tom has been in Strategic Coach for over 10 years, which is where many of the lawyers on this page first met him.
Next Sprint begins November 3, 2026
The Show Your Work promise: do the weekly actions, show up to office hours, and if you are not saving 10 or more hours a week by day 21, we keep working with you free until you are. 225 founders in, not a single person has asked for their money back.
18 law firms have done this without putting a single client file at risk. You already know what you would do with 10 hours back.
