Law Labs
Welcome to Law Labs — the podcast where law firm life gets a glow-up.
Hosted by entrepreneur, attorney, Modern Law founder, and optimistic disrupter, Billie Tarascio, this show is your backstage pass to the business of law. We’re not talking billable hours and black-letter law — we’re talking AI-powered operations, next-gen leadership, smart growth, and real strategy.
Billie digs into the systems, stories, and shifts shaping modern legal practice—alongside law firm owners, legal technologists, and bold thinkers who are rewriting the rules.
Expect real talk about:
- Scaling law firms without burning out
- Leading with clarity, culture, and data
- Using AI and automation without losing the human touch
- Building sustainable businesses that serve your life—not just your clients
- Valuation, VC, and the art of getting acquired (or acquiring others)
This is your lab for testing what’s possible—then building it.
If you're ready to lead smarter, scale faster, and think bigger—welcome to the future of law. Let’s jump in.
