Tax, tech & when legal meets AI

Tax, tech, and other stuff

Show Notes

In this episode of Tax, Tech & Other Stuff, Russell switches things up and welcomes three guests from the legal world - Andy Wright, Hugo Cassidy, and Rachel Coleman from Pinsent Masons - to explore how AI is reshaping legal services and what tax teams can learn from the legal profession.

They discuss how AI is being used in practice today, from automating routine workflows to crafting 800-prompt due diligence engines, and why risk management, not cost-cutting, is becoming one of the biggest AI use cases. The conversation dives deep into prompting skills, human oversight, training the next generation of lawyers, and the uncomfortable question: what happens to junior roles as AI accelerates?

Whether you're in tax, legal, or any professional services role trying to make sense of AI’s impact on people, processes, and business models, this episode offers both realism and optimism - and plenty of parallels between industries. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
