What happens when the nation’s most successful law firm owners debate where the legal industry is headed next?
As part of the “Road to the Summit“, a special series ramping up to the 2025 Game Changers Summit this November 12-13, we’re revisiting some of the most powerful conversations ever featured at our events. In this encore episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, we revisit the Law Firm of the Future panel live from the 2022 Game Changers Summit, where Michael Mogill sits down with Alexander Shunnarah, Anthony Johnson, Bob Tharp, and Eric Chaffin for an unfiltered conversation about the forces reshaping the legal industry and what it takes to lead in the next era.

Show Notes:
Smart firms are already thinking five to ten years ahead. “It takes a long time for an industry to shift, but once legal catches up in technology and process, the pace of change will be fast.” — Anthony Johnson
Outside investors are no longer hypothetical — they’re here. “I met with several private equity groups in New York, and I was shocked at the level of interest in the legal space.” — Alexander Shunnarah
Data isn’t optional if you want to compete. “If you’re not already, you need to think about the business side of your practice and get over your fear of KPIs.” — Bob Tharp
The most successful firms are culture-first. “For us, our core value of doing good by doing right has become a rallying call for the entire team.” — Eric Chaffin
The firms that adapt will survive — those that don’t will be left behind. “Wall Street is coming in with billions. If you want to play the next game, you have to learn that business.” — Anthony Johnson
