Most law firms say they’re “exploring AI.”
At Linklaters, they’re living it.
Resistance is real, but so is the momentum.
Because the lawyers who embrace change won’t just survive the AI era, they’ll define it.
In this episode, I’m joined by Sonia Cisse, Partner and Head of AI & Technology at Paris office, Linklaters, one of the world’s leading international law firms.
Sonia is helping shape how one of the biggest names in law integrates artificial intelligence, from internal adoption to culture, governance, and innovation.
We talk about how AI is transforming the culture of law and what it takes to lead that change inside a global firm.
Sonia shares candid insights on:
Why lawyers resist and what finally gets them excited about AI.
How Linklaters builds AI literacy across thousands of lawyers worldwide.
Balancing innovation with confidentiality and client trust.
Why the future of junior lawyers isn’t disappearing, it’s evolving.
And how tomorrow’s lawyers will blend legal expertise with AI fluency.
This conversation goes beyond hype.
It’s a look inside how one of the world’s top law firms is actually implementing generative AI, responsibly, strategically, and with a sense of curiosity that’s changing what it means to be a lawyer.
