In this episode, I'm talking with William Finlay, Head of Legal Regulatory at Revolut.

He leads the group regulatory team within the legal department. A global fintech powerhouse that is leading the charge in integrating AI into both customer-facing products and internal back-office workflows.

We talk about the "top-down" vs. "bottom-up" approach to AI adoption and how Revolut balances its dual role as both a user and a reviewer of the technology. You’ll hear perspectives on why the traditional law firm revenue model is under threat.

"Fill Your Boots": Instead of a restrictive culture, Revolut encourages a "bottom-up" approach where employees are empowered to find creative, efficient ways to use AI in their daily tasks.

The Future of Private Practice: A prediction that the "army of juniors" model in law firms will be disrupted as AI takes over low-level tasks, forcing firms to rethink how they train the next generation of senior partners.

AI as a "Guidance Counselor": A lighter look at how teams are using AI for non-legal tasks, such as analyzing the tone of messages to ensure they are being empathetic to colleagues.
