Hughes Hubbard is using August on both the practice and operations sides of the firm, with Patryk emphasizing that “it is something that enables us to remain who we are – an independent law firm that punches above its weight.” Head to the full podcast episode → https://lnkd.in/erSPGdKJ

For a long time, scale looked like the obvious advantage in Big Law. More lawyers. More reach. More leverage. That assumption looks a lot shakier now. In Howard Rosenberg and I's conversation with Robb Patryk, Managing Partner of Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP, one idea stood out to me: as AI handles more of the heavy lift, the real premium shifts to judgment. Clients can get information faster than ever. The harder question is who can make sense of it, weigh the risks, and give advice that actually holds up when the stakes are real. That has huge implications for how firms grow, how young lawyers are trained, and what clients will value next. If the old model was built on scale, what does the next one reward? Give this one a listen and share your thoughts on the direction of the Legal Profession: https://lnkd.in/euW9p8hu #AIInLaw #LawFirmLeadership #LegalIndustry

Once upon a year ago (that's about seven in startup years), Dominic Lee became the first person outside the founders to join August. From day one, Dom has been at the center of building the product our customers rely on every day. He's shaped the engineering foundation, shipped features that drive real adoption, and become an invaluable part of August's DNA. Join us in congratulating Dom on his one-year workaversary! 👇

Representing August at the New Jersey State Bar Association Annual General Meeting this week! Being based in NYC, we’re proud to support the legal community just across the river in New Jersey.

It’s been great to meet more of our neighbors at our booth and catch up with a few everyday August users at Hartmann Doherty Rosa Berman & Bulbulia LLP. Come find us at booth #306. Myles Lulla and I will be here through the end of the day, and are giving away another pair of Airpods Max to one lucky booth visitor!

We're at the 2026 American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA) Spring Meeting in San Francisco this week. If your IP practice spends more time assembling prior art than analyzing it, we'd love to show you how August works. Prior art research in minutes. Office action responses drafted to your firm's standards. Your precedent and know-how, searchable and ready to use. Vivan Marwaha and Hayden Enniss will be at the Fairmont through May 16. We can't wait to see you there!

We're in Atlantic City this week for the New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA) Annual Meeting & Convention at the Borgata. If your firm is looking to take on more work without adding headcount, that's exactly what we built August for. One workspace for research, drafting, and document review, all built on your firm's own precedent and standards. Myles Lulla and Julia Candiotti are on the ground through May 15. Come say hi at Booth 306!

When August AI first came into our firm, I was genuinely nervous about what it meant for my role as a legal assistant. Now, I can confidently say it has completely transformed the way I work - not by replacing me, but by allowing me to work smarter, faster, and more efficiently while still bringing the human side of this profession to the table. Being part of a team that embraces innovation while recognizing the value of people behind the work has been incredibly rewarding. I'm grateful to Hartmann Doherty Rosa Berman & Bulbulia LLP, Ravi A. Magia, Esq., and the August team for trusting me to share my experience. I'm excited to continue learning, growing, and helping shape what the future of legal work can look like.

My first on-site visit as a member of the August team was to our friends at Hartmann Doherty Rosa Berman & Bulbulia LLP (shout out to Hackensack!). After meeting with several groups of partners and associates to show them how August could greatly optimize their day-to-day, I vividly remember the feeling of trepidation among the final group we met with, which consisted of staff attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants. “You’re here to replace us, aren’t you?” one of them cracked, only half-jokingly. A few short months later, the team is utilizing August every day and cannot imagine going back to doing their work without it. Here is Gabriela Sandoval's story, in her own words: https://lnkd.in/eRgjYyAA
