43. AI in Law: Isabel Bathurst on Private AI, Security and the New Skills Lawyers Need
In this episode of The Business of AI Podcast, Tim is joined by Isabel Bathurst, solicitor, law firm consultant and co-founder of Legal AI. Isabelle shares her journey from early work with geographic information systems at Manchester University, through two decades in complex litigation, to helping law firms adopt AI in a way that actually fits how solicitors work. She explains why so many traditional case management systems frustrate lawyers, how disconnected tech stacks create inefficiency and inertia, and why AI needs to be designed around real legal workflows rather than forcing solicitors to become part-time IT operators.
The conversation digs into some of the biggest questions facing the legal sector: how to manage security and privacy with sensitive client and medical data, what “private AI” really looks like in practice, and how tools like document review, medical record summarisation and onboarding automation can support – rather than replace – legal professionals. Isabel also reflects on how AI is reshaping training and careers for junior lawyers and paralegals, freeing them from low-value grunt work so they can move more quickly into genuine legal analysis. If you’re interested in the future of legal practice, secure AI deployment, and how to make complex tech work for busy fee-earners and vulnerable clients alike, this episode is for you.
