LOS ANGELES, CA (June 18, 2026) Hamid Kohan, CEO and founder of Law Practice AI, was featured in Authority Magazine (of Medium) as part of its ongoing series on entrepreneurs pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence. In the interview, Kohan shared his perspective on specialized AI in professional industries, the adoption challenges law firms face, and his vision for the future of legal operations.
Kohan, a technology entrepreneur with more than 30 years of experience across Silicon Valley and the legal industry, discussed how operational inefficiency in law firms first drew him into legal technology and how that work eventually led to the development of Law Practice AI.
"The biggest opportunity in AI is not replacing professionals," Kohan said in the interview. "It is reducing operational friction so professionals can focus on higher-value work."
Five Principles Kohan Shared on the Future of AI
In the interview, Kohan outlined five principles he believes will define the next era of AI adoption across professional industries.
- Specialized AI Will Outperform Generic AI. Kohan argued that the future of AI is not one-size-fits-all systems. Industries like legal, healthcare, and finance require AI built around specific workflows, compliance requirements, and operational realities. Generic tools create fragmentation. Purpose-built tools create operational value.
- AI Should Enhance Professionals, Not Replace Them. Kohan described the firms seeing the best results as those using AI to reduce operational burden rather than eliminate human expertise. Judgment, strategy, and client relationships still require human involvement. AI works best as a force multiplier.
- Workflow Integration Matters More Than Individual Features. Law firms do not want disconnected tools solving isolated problems, Kohan said. The future belongs to connected systems that improve the entire workflow from intake through case resolution.
- Companies That Resist Change Will Fall Behind. Kohan pointed to remote work and cloud adoption as precedents for how resistance to technology shifts eventually gives way to adoption. He expects AI to follow the same pattern, with early adopters gaining significant competitive advantages.
- The Future Workforce Will Be Hybrid. Kohan described his vision of the future law firm as operating on a one-third AI, one-third virtual staffing, one-third in-house model. That structure, he said, creates the flexibility and scalability firms need while preserving human oversight where it matters most.
On the Path to Law Practice AI
Kohan traced the origins of his work in legal technology to an early consulting engagement with a law firm that had missed a statute deadline. Coming from a Silicon Valley background, he described the operational gap he observed as significant.
"The workflows, staffing structures, technology systems, reporting, and operational processes were decades behind what modern technology companies were doing," he said.
After helping that firm restructure its operations and seeing the practice double in growth, Kohan said he recognized the same operational problems across nearly every firm he encountered. That pattern ultimately led to Legal Soft and later to Law Practice AI.
He described AI case summarization as one of the most impactful capabilities he has seen in practice. AI can now generate chronologies, summaries, and structured insights from hundreds or thousands of pages of documentation in minutes, work that previously required teams of paralegals over weeks.
"Beyond just speed," Kohan said, "my perspective changed when I realized how much operational burden could be removed from legal teams."
