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.

Legal tech has exploded from a niche industry into a global market worth billions. In this episode, Electra sits down with Timo of Cosmonauts to trace that journey—from the early days of e-discovery and CLM to today’s AI-powered tools that are reshaping how legal services are delivered. They explore why so many CLM projects failed, what’s driving the rise of point solutions, and how generative AI is lowering barriers for SMEs and consumers alike. Timo also shares predictions on consolidation, new business models, and why the biggest opportunities in legal tech may lie outside of law firms altogether.
