  How Supermergers Revolutionise the Future of Law with Ashurst Perkins Coie’s Ian Bagshaw - S10E35

  Sep 6, 20261h 13mS10

  “Always work on making people the best version of themselves and giving them the power to drive their own career.” - Ian Bagshaw On today’s episode, I’m delighted to have Ian Bagshaw from Ashurst Perkins Coie on the Legally Speaking Podcast. Ian Bagshaw is a commercially minded legal leader whose career has been shaped by adaptability, entrepreneurial instinct and a belief that judgment matters more than hierarchy. In this conversation, he reflects on moving quickly away from work that did not suit him, building a technology-focused London legal business with a clear strategy, and creating a culture where people are trusted, developed fast, and encouraged to take ownership of their careers. He argues that AI will transform how legal work is delivered, but that the lasting differentiators will be client relationships, sound judgment, and talent capable of learning continuously. He also sees the legal market becoming more global, more competitive, and more divided between major international firms, focused boutiques, and AI-native businesses—while maintaining that exceptional service, value, and strong human cultures remain the foundation of success. So why should you be listening in? You can hear Rob and Ian discussing: - Judgment Remaining as Law’s Enduring Advantage - Technology Reshaping Delivery, Not Client Expectations - Accelerate Talent Through Trust and Coaching - Global Scale Drives Legal-Market Consolidation - Relationships and Culture Build Sustainable Success.
