About
I'm Laura Jeffords Greenberg, and I don't have this figured out.
I'm General Counsel at Worksome, building AI into our legal function and product. AI Field Notes from a GC is my unfiltered stream of consciousness while I do it: the mistakes, the breakthroughs, the "oh shit" moments, and the rare times something actually works on the first try.
How I got here:
I'm a California-licensed attorney living in Copenhagen. I've spent 10+ years in-house at tech companies, always frustrated by the same thing: legal moves too slowly, burns too much time on repetitive work, and relies on tools that haven't evolved since 2005.
In 2018, while at Unity, I pitched the idea of hiring a "legal engineer." The role barely existed. Most people thought I was confused about what lawyers do. But I wasn't - I knew we needed someone who could build systems, not just review contracts. That pitch failed, but it planted something. I couldn't stop thinking about what legal could be if we actually used technology to solve our pain points instead of just complaining about them.
Fast forward to 2024: I became employee #8 at Wordsmith AI. I built the Wordsmith Academy and spent 14 months training over 3,000 legal professionals on AI. I learned what worked, what didn't, and, more importantly, why most legal teams give up on AI around month three.
Now I'm back at Worksome, and I'm finally in a position to build what I've been talking about for years. An AI-first legal function. In real time. In public.
Why share this publicly?
Because most content about AI in legal is either:
Conference keynotes that skip over the messy reality
Consultants theorizing about transformations they've never executed
Vendor marketing disguised as thought leadership
I wanted something different. The truth. What it actually takes. The frustrating battles. The tools that fail spectacularly. The workflows that ship. The times I'm completely wrong and have to backtrack.
What you get:
Field Notes — Free Weekly observations, real problems, and half-formed thoughts I'm still working through. Always something you can walk away with and use immediately.
The Field Guide — Paid The deeper stuff — for legal professionals who want to actually build this, not just follow along. The prompts, frameworks, and workflows I'm using at Worksome. Vendor evaluations, templates, and Q&A videos where I answer your questions. Ready to use, not just read.
I'm based in Copenhagen and always happy to connect with other legal leaders building toward the same future or anyone willing to tell me when I'm getting it wrong.
