Here’s my post for Above the Law on Gina Passarella’s (Centellic ’s Chief Content Officer), powerful 10 minute talk at LegalGeek 2026 on the state of the business of law. Her takeaways were that business people and in house counsel are going to be calling more shots, that there is an increase in competion for traditional law firms and that if these firms aren’t more careful and forward thinking, they may soon be running out of gas. More sophisticated in-house counsel are already not waiting on outside providers to make changes in light of the efficiencies AI and automation can provide.
