A bit "off topic" but this is called AMA, so why not:

To which degree do you see your own profession (law practice) changing with AI? As an outsider it looks like most of the legwork, research work or basically anything a non-senior attorney would spend their time on could soon be done by LLMs. How accurate is that impression? What future do you envision for law-related professions?

I can only speak about immigration law and AI is changing it significantly. This might also change but right now I think a lawyer is still needed to understand the nuances of the law, to understand the risks of different approaches, and to determine the best strategy, but more and more, initial legal research and initial drafting are being done by AI.
