In this episode of This Legal Life, Ben Chiriboga speaks with Horace Wu, Founder and CEO of Syntheia, about his path from corporate lawyer to legal tech founder. Horace reflects on leaving private practice, the lessons from an early startup that got overtaken by Google and Facebook, and why he thinks the strongest founders start with a problem to solve. He and Ben look at how legal AI has evolved, why so much of the conversation now centers on products, and where the next wave of innovation is likely to come from.
