How 8AM Builds A Trusted Foundation For AI-Driven Legal Finance

In a world where every firm has access to the same AI tools, the real differentiator is still the people behind them.

In this episode of Studio A, Will Ayers sits down with Nate Skinner, Chief Revenue & Marketing Officer at 8am to talk about what trust and compliance really mean for law firms handling financial transactions at scale, why the human element matters more than ever in the age of Gen AI, and how 8am stays disciplined about applying AI to real problems rather than chasing industry hype.

Tune in to hear why Nate believes the firms that get their foundations of trust, compliance, and cash flow are the ones best positioned to grow.
