Based in Westlake Village, California

AI training for Los Angeles and Ventura County law firms.

I train law firms on AI in person across Los Angeles and Ventura County, from the San Fernando Valley and the Conejo Valley to downtown, the Westside, and Ventura. Workshops, hands-on training, AI usage policies, and case support, from an independent consultant no AI vendor pays.

For local firms

What I do for firms nearby.

Built for firms of 10 to 100 attorneys. Sessions and policies are built around the duties California lawyers already carry: confidentiality, competence, and supervision. Your lawyers keep the legal judgment.

A workshop at your office

AI On Purpose is a 2.5-hour session for partners, associates, and staff, in your conference room, on the kinds of documents your firm handles.

The firm workshop

Hands-on 1:1 training and office hours

Sessions on your own documents in ChatGPT, Claude, or whatever your firm has approved, then a standing place for everyone to bring real tasks.

AI training

An AI usage policy

Approved tools, client-data rules, and review steps in plain language, reviewed again when the major tools change.

AI policies

Case support on a live matter

Large records turned into analysis your attorneys can check: ledgers classified, chronologies built, email archives turned into review sets.

Case support

Questions local firms ask

Yes. I'm based in Westlake Village and work in person with firms across Los Angeles and Ventura County. Sessions can also run virtually.

No. I work with firms nationwide, virtually and on site, and I have spoken for audiences from Las Vegas to Scottsdale to Louisville. Local firms simply get me in the room more easily.

Yes, when a program runs through an accredited sponsor. My recent programs for the Beverly Hills and San Fernando Valley bar associations carried one hour of Technology credit.

Firms of 10 to 100 attorneys, the size where a managing partner wants a plan built for the firm, not one borrowed from BigLaw.

Let's talk

Want me in your conference room?

Thirty minutes. Tell me about the firm and what it's trying to do. I'll tell you where I'd start, and when I can be there.
