What if the safest seat in the legal profession right now isn’t the one farthest from AI, but the one doing work AI can’t touch?
In this episode, Ann unpacks what she thinks about career durability in the age of AI. She gets real about the “safety net” that isn’t one, the brand-new job titles being formed inside law firms as we speak, and the simple mindset shift that separates the paralegals who get recruited and promoted from the ones left scrambling.
If you’ve been quietly wondering which parts of your job are at risk, this is the honest, no-fluff conversation you’ve been waiting for.
Key Takeaways:
- The everyday paralegal tasks quietly moving in-house to AI tools, and why that matters for your next career move
- Three brand-new legal job titles that didn’t exist three years ago, all invented by paralegals who decided to lead
- The difference between being “the person who does the task” and “the person who solves the problem,” and why one of those is far more AI-proof
- A practical way to audit your own role through an AI lens before someone else does it for you
