Anastasia Boyko on Advisor Mode, Training Lawyers for the Post-Pyramid Firm

Anastasia Boyko, a Yale‑trained tax lawyer and legal futurist, argues that law firms are stuck in precedent‑driven habits while AI reshapes market rules. She urges firms to abandon copy‑cat strategies and adopt intentional, outcome‑focused planning. Boyko warns that in‑house legal departments are cutting reliance on outside counsel, making client relationships the true competitive frontier. She also highlights the apprenticeship gap, stressing mentorship over software spend and predicting a shift in JD value toward advisory work.
