🎙️ “Humans still buy from humans.”

In this episode of People in Legal, Tim Kenney sat down with Marriott Murdoch, COO of Legacy Capital Fund, to unpack the evolving relationship between legal tech, private equity, and growth.

From remodelling bathrooms at NetDocuments… to leading Latin America expansion… to private equity investment strategy — Marriott’s journey through legal technology has been anything but conventional.

💡 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:

↳ Great products still fail without the right go-to-market strategy
↳ Private equity doesn’t have to destroy culture — the right partner can help preserve and scale it
↳ Many founders hit a ceiling not because of product, but because of limited capital and resources
↳ Relationship-driven business still matters, especially in global markets
↳ Legal tech continues to attract strong investor interest as AI reshapes the landscape

One insight that stood out:

“A lot of business still happens face-to-face.”

This wasn’t just a conversation about funding.

It was about trust, growth, people, and what it really takes to scale a company without losing what made it successful in the first place.

At LawFest 2026, David sat down with Manraj from LawCyborg to explore how AI is reshaping legal and tax research — helping professionals get to answers faster, serve clients better, and build deeper niche expertise.

💡 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:

↳ AI allows practitioners to spend less time researching — and more time advising
↳ Faster access to information means better responsiveness for clients
↳ Niche expertise is becoming even more valuable in the AI era
↳ Small, focused teams can build highly effective legal AI solutions
↳ The future isn’t about replacing professionals — it’s about enhancing them

One insight that stood out:

“AI makes research enjoyable again.”

As legal and tax professionals face growing complexity, the firms that embrace AI strategically may gain a real competitive edge.

Not by knowing less.
But by getting to the right answers faster.

🎙️ “Getting it perfect is required.”

At #RelFest26 Sydney by Relativity, our host Jonathan Seifman sat down with Phil Saunders, CEO of Relativity, to unpack how AI is reshaping high-consequence legal workflows around the world.

💡 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:

↳ Legal isn’t a “late adopter” industry — the complexity simply demands higher standards
↳ AI in legal is about more than productivity — it’s about accuracy, trust, and outcomes
↳ Different regions have very different legal workflows and use cases
↳ Customer collaboration is critical when building legal AI products
↳ The future isn’t just automation — it’s reimagining how legal work gets done

One insight that stood out:

“If we don’t reimagine how work gets done… we won’t keep pace.”

From litigation to investigations, data breaches to AI-generated evidence, the volume and complexity of legal data is only accelerating.

And in legal tech:

👉 “Good enough” isn’t good enough.
