Managing Partner Matthew J. Madsen was recently featured in Shapers, Legora's spotlight series highlighting leaders who are reshaping and redefining what it means to work in the legal profession. The article, "Creating more value in less time: How the Managing Partner of Harrison LLP became one of Legora's top power users," explores how Matthew has integrated AI into his practice, not as a shortcut, but as an active thinking partner, and shares his perspective on how innovation can be implemented thoughtfully and responsibly.

Innovation is a defining pillar of Harrison LLP’s direction, with AI emerging as one of its clearest expressions. “I remember when an associate told me about ChatGPT and I thought, 'This is going to change everything,'” Matthew says.
Championing AI as managing partner meant owning the uncertainty it created. “An associate asked me, after hearing us talk about Legora, 'Is my job okay?'” Matthew recalls. His answer set the tone for how the firm would think about AI going forward: “If you're spending less time on routine work and more time in the meeting with the client, finding out why she's so passionate about how she wants to leave her legacy, that's more value for everybody.”
