I spoke with Kenzo, a former Bird & Bird lawyer and in-house GC who is now building Correm, a platform for companies to access and manage fractional legal talent.

Having sat on both sides of the legal market, Kenzo has seen first-hand how difficult it can be for businesses to get the right legal support at the right time.

Correm is built around a different model, combining flexible legal talent with technology, automated billing and AI tools to make it easier for companies to build legal capacity around the work they actually have.

We discussed:

→ Why fractional legal teams are becoming a viable alternative to traditional hiring.

→ What Kenzo learned going from private practice to becoming a GC, and then a founder.

→ How AI changes the economics of flexible legal work and what the legal team of the future could look like.

→ Why lawyers may increasingly need to think about their careers as a collection of skills and experiences rather than one linear path.

→ Kenzo’s tips for junior lawyers navigating their career in an AI landscape.

I hope you enjoy listening just as much as I did recording it!
