When AI Stops Writing and Starts Deciding: General Legal's Dan Sito | LegalQuants Podcast Ep. 3

What changes for lawyers when an AI model stops writing and starts deciding?

In Episode 3 of the LegalQuants Podcast, Victor Wang sits down with Dan Sito, head of the Tax practice at General Legal, an AI-native law firm that came out of Y Combinator, and former partner and first AI Innovation Partner at Perkins Coie. Dan explains Jev, a new kind of model that answers with a probability instead of a paragraph, using a Magic 8 Ball he built to understand it. Then the two show what near-instant AI does to legal work: discovery and diligence that collapse from hours to minutes, client explanations built as interactive HTML instead of email, a structure chart that draws itself as you talk, and an 83(b) election filled in two seconds.

Andrew Simon: Building a Startup Inside Big Law

What does it take to build legal AI inside a Big Law firm with a deliberately small team?

In Episode 2 of the LegalQuants Podcast, Victor Wang sits down with Andrew Simon, Chief AI & Innovation Officer at Weil, Gotshal & Manges. Andrew explains how he runs something like a startup within a Big Law firm: lawyers bring the ideas and prototypes, a small team turns them into working applications, and new models are tested before they change anything that already works. He also shares the unusual path that took him from Big Law to a startup, supply-chain math, and machine learning at BCG, and then back to law.
