Podcast: Building an AI-Native Law Firm
26 June 2026
On the Technically Legal podcast, EIP partner Laurence Brown discusses how Visser AI is redesigning patent workflows, letting the firm offer fixed fees without trading away speed or quality.

In this episode of EIP Talks, Mark Lubbock and Ellen Keenan O'Malley, solicitors at EIP, explore the full lifecycle of intellectual property, from the initial spark of innovation to the commercialisation of ideas. They share practical insights into how we support clients through the challenges of protecting, developing and monetising IP.The conversation covers how clients typically engage with us, the importance of identifying and securing various forms of IP, and the legal strategies needed to navigate collaborations, ownership, and licensing. It also highlights the significance of well-drafted contracts, website compliance and investor readiness. Whether you're launching a new product, entering a partnership, or preparing for investment, this episode offers valuable guidance on building a strong IP foundation and turning innovation into commercial success.
