In this episode of Future Contracts, Electra sits down with Ed Boal—General Counsel and Legal Domain Expert at StructureFlow—to talk about legal exceptionalism, productizing legal work, and how in-house teams can scale without clinging to the billable hour or bespoke tools.
Ed shares lessons from his journey across private practice, in-house legal, and LegalTech, including why being “closer to the business” changed his entire mindset—and how legal teams can borrow from product and engineering to build for the future.
They unpack the myths of legal uniqueness, the reality of AI’s impact on junior lawyers, and what it really means to shift from chaos-reactive to strategically proactive. If you’ve ever been stuck drawing org charts in PowerPoint at 2am, this one’s for you.
