The esteemed legal podcast, LawNext, has recently celebrated its 250th episode. Beginning in 2018, the podcast has steadily been building an audience with its intense focus on legal technology and innovation. It is spearheaded by a significant figure in the legal podcasting space, who has previously co-hosted Lawyer 2 Lawyer, noted as being one of the first and longest running legal podcasts on the Legal Talk Network, having accrued 586 episodes by the time LawNext was launched. More information about the history of the Lawyer 2 Lawyer podcast can be found here.
One of the driving factors behind the creation of LawNext was the desire to create a platform focused solely on innovation and entrepreneurship in the legal sector. This focus has remained strong throughout its history, attracting a variety of guests that include influential names such as Nicole Bradick, founder of the legal technology design and development company Theory and Principle, and Neil Araujo, CEO of document management company iManage. Additional details about these guests can be found here for Nicole Bradick, and here for Neil Araujo.
Apart from focusing on such topical content, LawNext also gave the host the chance to collaborate with his son, Ben Ambrogi, who serves as the producer for the show. Their collaboration has extended beyond the podcast to include the launch of the LawNext Legal Technology Directory, a consolidated online resource that lists different legal tech tools, which can be found here.
Another aspect worth mentioning about the LawNext show is that it has been a resource for cooperation with various companies through sponsorship opportunities throughout its run. The podcast has consistently looked out for such collaboration opportunities, drawing attention to its newly available ones here. Admittedly, the process of producing a weekly show is both time-consuming and labor-intensive, thus, collaborations and sponsorships play an impactful role for its survival.
With the recent celebration of the 254th episode of LawNext, it is noteworthy to mention the host’s long history with podcasting. Accumulating the episodes of Lawyer 2 Lawyer, along with those of LawNext and various other legal podcasts, the host has recorded north of 1,000 podcast episodes to date. It is a representation of a rich journey in cut-through legal discourse and wide-ranging interaction with industry change-drivers.
