Preparing Lawyers for Technology Transformation
The Exponential Age Mindset
Publication date: Mar 2026
The growth in technology is forecast to increase exponentially going forward. What this means for business is that technology will radically change the way we work, and that constant change will become the norm.
In law, this change has not taken effect as radically as in other areas of business, but it is a matter of when, not if. This book identifies nine mindset attributes that are fundamental to success – to individuals, their teams, and their organizations.
As AI adoption increases, there has been less focus on the human-centred skills that are needed to thrive. Preparing Lawyers for Technology Transformation: The Exponential Age Mindset focuses on how legal departments and law firms can ensure their employees have the mindset and the skill set to optimize this transformation. Increasingly, GCs are seeing that engaging the entire legal department is key to success, and that many non-lawyer roles are going to be even more central as tech and GenAI becomes more prevalent.

Decision Making in Law Firms
Publication date: Apr 2026
While 72 percent of leaders believe decisions drive business results, only 20 percent trust their decision-making processes. This gap is particularly acute in partnership structures where traditional hierarchical decision-making models don't apply.
Decision Making in Law Firms addresses the disconnect between how law firms say they make decisions and how decisions actually happen. It builds a comprehensive framework covering individual psychology, partnership dynamics, consensus-building, strategic architecture, and operational timing.
Iryna Nikitina exposes the mythology surrounding law firm decision-making, revealing how informal alliances, market pressures, and individual incentives trump formal procedures. Decision Making in Law Firms provides law firm partners with practical tools for understanding and improving their decision-making processes, from individual cognitive patterns to partnership consensus to strategic transformation.

How to Buy Legal Tech That Works
Publication date: Aug 2024
Legal technology, a once-obscure niche that few knew about and even fewer invested in, has come into its own. With the advent of generative AI, funding is about to flow into the space and birth a raft of new legal tech products, as well as improved versions of old ones.
Industry veterans know full well that the legal tech market is already flooded with bad tech, particularly considering all the hype around contract lifecycle management, which has proven to be a much tougher nut to crack than anyone imagined. Over the next few years we will see the most thoughtful, innovative legal tech solutions the world has ever seen. We will also see a ton of rubbish.
How to Buy Legal Tech That Works is about how to cut through the grist and find practical solutions that work for you, regardless of marketing and sales hype. Written by Nathan Cemenska, an industry veteran who has represented both buyers of legal tech and a very prominent seller, it lays out a soup-to-nuts legal tech procurement approach that takes you through the entire process, from defining your needs, identifying relevant solutions, decoding marketing and sales narratives, performing full due diligence on vendors to figure out what they are really selling, all the way down to negotiating the final contract to obtain favorable pricing and assurances in case implementation goes less well than envisioned. While nothing is guaranteed, this book will lay out the building blocks to arm you with all the information you need to protect yourself from legal tech companies that, in their desperation to make a sale, have lost sight of what should be their goal – to provide practical, common-sense products that help move the legal industry forward.
