IT'S LIVE: Check out the "Beyond Billable Hours" episode of the Technically Legal Podcast! Conrad Everhard discusses Flatiron's fixed-fee, tech-based approach to M&A. ??

What if your M&A deal team could deliver top-tier service without the eye-watering $1,000+ hourly rates? In this week's episode, we explore just that with Conrad Everhard, co-founder of Flatiron Law Group. Conrad pulls back the curtain on his firm’s innovative model that challenges the BigLaw status quo. By combining flat fees, low overhead, contract labor, and the firm's custom-built Deal Driver software, Flatiron is redefining how legal services are delivered to clients navigating complex mergers and acquisitions. We also get Conrad’s take on the notorious billable hour—why he believes it’s outdated, overpriced, and up to clients to push back. Plus, Conrad shares exciting insights from his work with Stanford’s Codex project, where he’s helping train the next generation of lawyers using AI-driven negotiation simulators. Whether you’re an M&A insider or just curious about the future of legal services, this episode offers a master class on innovation, efficiency, and the value of breaking away from tradition.

When new Atlassians ask why I joined the company almost a decade ago, I tell them this: we don’t just build tools for customers — we blaze new trails by solving the challenges of effective teamwork ourselves. Building on this point of view, I really enjoyed chatting with?Chad Main on the?Technically Legal Podcast about how I’ve seen firsthand Atlassian tools transform the way teams work. The Atlassian Legal team relies daily on Jira, Confluence, Loom -- and now Rovo and Atlassian Intelligence -- to track legal requests, coordinate cross-functional initiatives, manage contracts, and stay ahead of the business.
