How This Lawyer is Transforming Relationships with AI
As lawyers, we’re often labeled as resistant to change. The legal profession thrives on tradition, rules, and precedent—but what if there’s a way to honor those traditions while embracing innovation that makes us better at what we do?
This week on the Powerhouse Lawyers Podcast, I had the pleasure of hosting Hilary Bowman an attorney and co-founder of a legal startup called Querious, Inc., a company who’s launching its first tool called QUICK to enhance attorney-client conversations with generative AI for the benefit of clients, attorneys, and law firms. This AI-driven solution promises to transform attorney-client interactions by making them more efficient, insightful, and impactful.
If you’ve been curious (or skeptical) about AI in law, this is the conversation you don’t want to miss.
What Is QUICK?
Imagine you’re in a virtual meeting with a client. You’re balancing multiple cases, deadlines, and the pressure to perform at your peak. Now, imagine a tool that:
- Flags key legal issues in real time based on the conversation.
- Suggests insightful questions to help you dig deeper.
- Automatically generates a concise summary email with key takeaways and issues to address.
- Tracks the length of your meeting for easy billing.
That’s QUICK in action.
Designed specifically for lawyers, QUICK integrates seamlessly into Microsoft Teams and supports attorneys across practice areas. It doesn’t replace you—it enhances what you already do, helping you deliver better service while saving time and mental energy.
Why Should Lawyers Embrace AI?
Let’s address the elephant in the room: many lawyers are wary of AI. The idea of a machine taking over tasks we’ve spent years mastering can feel uncomfortable.
But here’s the reality: AI is not here to replace lawyers—it’s here to make us better. Hilary shared some key points on why AI is worth considering:
1️⃣ Efficiency Without Sacrificing Quality: Imagine leaving a client meeting with a detailed summary and a list of actionable next steps—before you even log off. That’s what QUICK delivers.
2️⃣ Bridging Knowledge Gaps: No matter how seasoned you are, you can’t be an expert in every practice area. AI tools can flag issues or suggest questions you might not have considered.
3️⃣ Staying Competitive: Other industries are leveraging AI to streamline workflows and enhance client service. The legal world can’t afford to be left behind.
Why the Human Element Still Matters
One of the most compelling parts of my conversation with Hilary was her reassurance that AI will never replace the human element of practicing law.
Clients don’t just hire lawyers for their technical expertise—they hire us for our empathy, our ability to navigate complex emotions, and our intuition to read between the lines.
Freeing up time to focus on strategic thinking.
- Enhancing our ability to connect with clients by handling administrative tasks.
- Ensuring we bring our best selves to every interaction.
Why This Matters for Your Practice
Whether you’re a junior associate or a seasoned partner, QUICK can help you:
- Spot issues you might otherwise miss.
- Reduce the stress of juggling multiple client conversations.
- Provide better service to your clients without increasing your workload.
As Hilary put it, “QUICK ensures that the best version of yourself is present for every client, every time.”
