Summary

Today's Founder Focus guest is Nick Abrahams. Nick is a Partner and Global Co-leader Digital Transformation of the law firm Norton Rose Fulbright, a global law firm with 7000 people. Nick is also a co-founder of LawPath, a legal platform with over 400,000 users. Nick is passionate about the law, however his overall journey is nothing short of amazing as you’ll hear in this episode. Nick studied law in the late 80’s and then began his law career in the early 90’s in Sydney. Nick moved to Tokyo where he not only practiced law, he owned the Tokyo Comedy Store. This ain't no joke! We discuss how comedy fits into communication techniques. A love of film saw Nick also pursue acting which led him to become an executive with Warner Brothers Studios. Nick shares his lessons from this time, and how this dream didn't really match the reality of the role. An entrepreneur at heart, Nick joined a dot.com boom era business, learning lessons about growth and market crashes that would serve him well in his future entrepreneurial endeavors and advising entrepreneurs as a lawyer. In 2013, after seeing a gap in the market for SMEs and entrepreneurs who could not afford traditional legal support, Nick co-founded LawPath. LawPath has grown to over 400,000 happy customers and more than 10,000 5-star online reviews which is an incredible testament to getting product market fit validation early on - something Nick talks about in this episode. Nick has a deep interest in artificial intelligence, and shares where he sees this innovation taking companies. There is so much to learn from this episode, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed recording it. [email protected]
