Beaver Sound

In this episode, we are joined by Mike Kochkin, Founder and CEO of BeSavvy, and Oliver Lipscombe, a final-year LLB student at LSE and part of the BeSavvy team, to explore how artificial intelligence is beginning to reshape legal training.Drawing on Mike’s experience at Latham & Watkins and his work building BeSavvy, we examine how simulation-based AI tools aim to replicate the realities of elite legal practice. Oliver offers a student perspective, discussing how these tools are being adopted by aspiring lawyers and what this means for the future of legal education.The conversation goes beyond the surface-level excitement around AI to ask harder questions: Can AI genuinely replicate the depth of traditional legal training? What is gained in efficiency, and what might be lost in judgement, mentorship, and professional development? And ultimately, if AI transforms how lawyers are trained, what are the long-term implications for the profession?This episode challenges the assumption that innovation is always progress, and instead asks what the true cost of that transformation might be.Guests: Mike Kochkin & Oliver LipscombeHosts: Raana Syed and Hasti HashemiEditors: Salma Abuelatta and Noor Sayegh

A cultural hub once renowned for its accessibility and thriving community of underground creatives, East London is now synonymous with exorbitant prices for thrifted clothing, unique food spots, and rent.
