AI as the Great Equalizer for Law Firms

AI is moving through legal tech faster than the cloud ever did — and according to 8am SVP of Product Gabriela Cubeiro, the biggest winners will be small firms and their clients. In this TechStrong TV interview, Gabriela sits down with Alan Shimel to discuss 8am — the new umbrella brand for LawPay, MyCase, CASEpeer, Docketwise and more — and unpacks where AI is delivering real value beyond the headlines about brief writing. The conversation covers practice management as the unsexy-but-essential AI surface, the boom in point-solution wrappers and how to evaluate them responsibly, why trust and data security are non-negotiable in legal AI, and how AI may finally deliver on legal tech's long-promised goal of access to justice.
In this conversation, Marcin and Alan cover:

• Why 8am rebranded from AffiniPay to unify LawPay, MyCase, CASEpeer and Docketwise

• How AI is becoming the great equalizer between small and large law firms

• The unsexy AI opportunity — practice management and back-office workflows

• Why legal AI adoption is moving faster than the move from servers to cloud

• How AI could finally deliver on legal tech's promise of access to justice

• What to look for in point solutions — terms of service, data handling, and trust
