Our guest is a jack-of-all-trades. He is the host of two podcasts, Legal AI Live and Law Subscribed, co-founder of Practi, a first-generation lawyer running a solo practice, and a former Starbucks barista who makes his wife a cappuccino every morning. Seriously, what can’t the man do! All the legal tech connoisseurs know him, but for our non-legal audience, we’re joined by “The Subscription Attorney,” Mathew Kerbis.
With tools like Harvey and Paxton shortening the time it takes to execute legal work, billing by the hour doesn’t make sense, financially or ethically. The consequence is a decline in associates at law firms and the loss of priceless time with loved ones. Mathew saw an opportunity to increase attorneys’ revenue, close the access-to-justice gap, and drive systemic change.
Practi is not an AI service, but a company that exists because of AI. It provides an easy-to-build subscription-based billing infrastructure to solo and small law firms. The set-up alone takes less than 10 minutes, and it’s free! The billable-hour model doesn’t suit an AI-forward legal industry, but the subscription model fits right in.
Hear Mathew’s arguments for a subscription-based billing system, his founder story, and how he created a marketing ecosystem in this “name-drop” episode.
