Camilo Artiga PurcellGUEST
Pillsbury will take the risk for me.
Camilo Artiga PurcellGUEST
HSF Kramer will take the risk for me.
Camilo Artiga PurcellGUEST
And I...
Camilo Artiga PurcellGUEST
We don't accept that because what happens is it becomes a blank check.
Jimmy HooverHOST
I'm your host, Jimmy Hoover.
Jimmy HooverHOST
This week, I'll be speaking with Supreme Court lawyer Dan Geiser about his recent move to the newly merged firm HSF Kramer, as well as the challenge of building successful new Supreme Court practice and, of course, navigating the court's shrinking merits docket.
Jimmy HooverHOST
That conversation coming up.
Jimmy HooverHOST
But first, the news.
Jimmy HooverHOST
The court is likely to rule on them in the coming days and weeks ahead.
Jimmy HooverHOST
That's it for the news this week.
Jimmy HooverHOST
Coming up, my conversation with Dan Geiser of HSF Kramer.

There is still time left to register for Women, Influence, and Power in Law this month taking place in Nashville, September 14th through the 16th.
Vidit AgarwalHOST
So tell me post-university, you did go into the legal industry.
Vidit AgarwalHOST
I think you were at Freehills for three years.
Amit SinghGUEST
Yeah.
Vidit AgarwalHOST
How do you reflect on those three years now? Were there any skills, experiences from that that set you up for the foundations in your career? Yeah.
Amit SinghGUEST
Yeah, I worked for my boss at Freehills.
Amit SinghGUEST
I had two partners that I worked for at Freehills.
Amit SinghGUEST
Both of them were really great women.
Amit SinghGUEST
One of them was an extremely strong influence on my career even to this day.
Ilona LogvinovaGUEST
[chuckles] Yeah, for sure.
Ilona LogvinovaGUEST
So I am at HSF Kramer, Alona Lugbova.
Ilona LogvinovaGUEST
I'm the chief AI officer, and notably, and I do think this is actually really-- it's something that I'm very proud of.
Ilona LogvinovaGUEST
It's something that our firm is proud of.
Ilona LogvinovaGUEST
You know, I'm coming up on my year mark and anniversary, and it's just, it's really fantastic.
Ilona LogvinovaGUEST
I can only say the best things about, you know, the transformation journey so far.
Ilona LogvinovaGUEST
And before joining HSF Kramer, I was at Cleary Gottlieb, similarly in a, you know, transformation leadership role.
Ilona LogvinovaGUEST
I was the director of practice innovation there.
Anna GorodetskyGUEST
For example, at Pillsbury, they appointed their first chief artificial intelligence officer in July of this year, with responsibility for AI strategy, for governance, for enablement, data science, and knowledge management.
Anna GorodetskyGUEST
Another law firm, HSF Kramer, created a global chief AI officer position last year to lead the implementation across practices.
Anna GorodetskyGUEST
So I would say the positions receiving the greatest investment tend to be those tied to actual delivery, so embedding AI into specific practices and turning firm knowledge into usable systems for lawyers, driving lawyer adoption, building client-facing products, establishing governance, measuring value, those types of things.
Irene LiuHOST
So with all of these new innovative roles [chuckles] that are being created at law firms, where are they finding the talent? [chuckles]
Anna GorodetskyGUEST
And I think lastly, from consulting firms, corporate legal departments, some of these multidisciplinary professional services organizations, and these would be candidates who bring stronger often, like, transformation and proven program management experience.
Anna GorodetskyGUEST
From what I understand, the market values particularly people who have moved among more than one of those environments.
Anna GorodetskyGUEST
So for example, if we look at some of the hires at Pillsbury and HSF Kramer, HSF Kramer's chief AI officer, for example, had experience from a law firm, McKinsey Legal, the MasterCard, and Pillsbury's appointment had led innovation functions at several major law firms and advised technology companies and investors.
Anna GorodetskyGUEST
So it's not like they have one linear trajectory.
Rowan DoyleHOST

Hello, and welcome to the first episode of an exciting new podcast series from our insurance and professional risks team here at HSF Kramer.
Greig AndersonHOST
I'm Greg Anderson, and I'm a partner in the team.
Greig AndersonHOST
This new series, Insuring AI, focuses on an issue that's getting more and more airtime, almost more than anything else at the moment, artificial intelligence.
Greig AndersonHOST
Now I should warn you, it's not a short document, 130 pages in fact.
Greig AndersonHOST
It's detailed, it's comprehensive, and it covers a lot of ground.
Greig AndersonHOST
Fortunately, I'm joined today by Will Gibson, a senior associate here at HSF Kramer, who has in fact read it cover to cover and is very well placed to take us through it.
Greig AndersonHOST
Will, welcome.
Will GibsonGUEST
Thanks, Greg.
Jessal ShahGUEST
And I'm not saying, look, you've got to be a content creator, an influencer, but you need to pay a conscious effort on who is looking at you because you'll be surprised the number of eyes on your profiles, especially nowadays with the age of social media.
Jerome DoraisamyHOST
In years gone by, a lawyer wanting to change jobs could probably rely on having firm names like Mallison's or Freehills or Gilbert and Tobin on their resumes.
Jerome DoraisamyHOST
Do you think we're now at a point where those days are done, that you can't just rely on the strength of the firm name that shows up on your resume?
Jessal ShahGUEST
Yeah, look, 100% agree with that.
James ThomsonHOST
Another conference, Anthony, the M&A conference run by three of our top law firms starts in Sydney on Tuesday and then moves to Perth on Thursday.
James ThomsonHOST
Allen's, HSFK and Mallison's put this together, raise money for charity.
James ThomsonHOST
We've done a couple of sessions to help them out, Anthony.
James ThomsonHOST
Interesting time in M&A, isn't it? Yeah,
