Description

Kevin talks with Carolyn Elefant — renewable‑energy litigator, MyShingle founder and leading voice for solo and small‑firm lawyers — about what it means to “own your talent” and build a sophisticated niche practice outside big law. Carolyn traces how her 2002 launch of MyShingle paved the way for democratized legal publishing and advocacy that challenges bar‑imposed barriers facing solos. She explains why generative AI has reignited her passion for practice, showcases her “AI teach‑in” model and shares practical ideas for solos to leverage deep‑research tools to win work faster. The conversation also touches on personal resilience, community building and Carolyn’s vision for a nationwide network of solo publishers.
