Director of Legal @ Malbek | Legal Tech Author and Commentator | Fastcase 50 2022 Honoree | Legal Tech Startup Advisor and Investor

I help legal professionals, legal teams, and technology organizations make sense of legal technology so they can work smarter, deliver stronger outcomes, and lead with confidence in a field that is often noisy, fragmented, and misunderstood.

As General Counsel of Malbek and a long-time educator, author, and advocate, I sit at the intersection of law, technology, and learning. My work centers on translation. I take complex, fast-moving technologies and turn them into clear concepts, practical strategies, and informed decisions that legal professionals can actually use. Whether guiding teams through digital transformation or shaping how legal products are built and adopted, my focus is always on clarity over hype.

Teaching is core to how I operate. I regularly speak to diverse audiences, from military organizations to law firms and in-house legal departments, as well as large professional groups, on AI’s impact on legal work and the responsible, effective use of technology. Across these settings, my goal is the same: to help people understand not just what tools do, but how they change legal work, roles, and judgment.

That same educational mission runs through my writing and publishing. I am the author of The Legal Tech Ecosystem, a foundational guide to understanding the industry and its players, a co-author of CLM for Dummies, and the editor of the Handbook of Legal Tech. I also write regularly, serve as a columnist for Today’s General Counsel, and contribute through podcasts, webinars, and industry forums. Each platform is another way to make legal tech more accessible, grounded, and actionable.

Across every role, my aim is to equip people with the knowledge and confidence to engage with innovation thoughtfully and critically. If you are trying to cut through the legal tech noise, educate your team, modernize how your legal function operates, or build tools that truly serve legal professionals, I help move you from uncertainty to understanding and from learning to execution.

Let’s build what comes next.

You can't negotiate AI contract provisions if you don't understand how the technology actually works.

The guide walks through it in the context of AI-specific contractual clauses:

What to flag, redlining suggestions, and negotiation suggestions.

Let me know what you think!

AI Clauses Guide

Every time a lawyer asks an AI tool for case support, the tool delivers an answer with complete confidence. 

It formats the citation correctly. It names plausible parties. It describes a holding that tracks the legal issue perfectly. And sometimes, the case does not exist.

The challenge is not the fabricated citation you can catch with a quick database search. 

It is the real case with a subtly misrepresented holding, or the accurate legal principle supported by an invented authority. 

I wrote a guide that breaks this problem apart: 

-What hallucinations are at a technical level.

-Why the architecture of large language models makes them structural rather than fixable. 

-The categories of fabrication that show up in legal work

-How to build verification workflows that account for each one.

AI models are powerful. The outputs still require a lawyer's judgment.

Managing AI Hallucinations Guide

Most legal teams do evaluate AI vendors before signing. The problem is often the evaluation isn't thorough enough.

I wrote a guide that covers the parts of vendor evaluation that standard processes tend to skip: 

Whether the company behind the tool will survive the next funding cycle, what "99% accuracy" actually measures (and what it hides), how to tell if a SOC 2 report is doing real work or just checking a box, and what your regulatory exposure looks like.

It pairs with my earlier guide on contracting with AI vendors. 

That one focuses on the contract. This one focuses on whether you should be entering into one at all.

Legal Writer & Marketer | Legal Tech & Innovation Intern at Khaitan & Co | I empower the legal community to create content | Corporate Law | Mergers & Acquisitions | Private Equity | Tech Law | Marketing for Legal Tech

TL;DR: I’m an India-qualified lawyer now writing full-time for Legaltech Hub (LTH), where I cover how legal tech is shaping the future of law—one story at a time.

At LTH, I help law firms, lawyers, in-house legal departments make better decisions about buying legal technology.

I cover everything from product launches and investment trends to the real challenges legal professionals face when adopting new tools.

At LTH, I bring a mix of legal training, research, and storytelling to spotlight what actually matters—writing with nuance, empathy, and clarity for a field that often forgets how to talk to its buyers.

So how did I end up here? Back in law school, I kept asking one question: “How does the business of law work?”

I didn’t know where to start, so I started writing. I posted articles and thoughts on LinkedIn. And suddenly, law firm partners, legal tech founders, and legal professionals were reaching out, asking if I could write for them too.

That curiosity turned into a marketing agency for legal. Since then, I’ve worked on legal marketing projects for clients in 10+ countries, helping them:

🚀 Get the right clients
🚀 Grow their digital presence
🚀 Communicate complex offerings simply
🚀 Create content strategies that actually connect

Along the way, I’ve interned at law firms within M&A, PE/VC teams. I’ve also been featured in LinkedIn for Lawyers by Akanksha Bisen and have an ongoing obsession with making complex things easy to understand.

When I’m not dominating your LinkedIn feed to encourage you to create content on social media, you can find me taking a walk in a park, going on a hike or geeking out about movies! 

If you're looking for speakers for your next webinar or event in legal tech - I'd love to chat legal innovation, breaking into legal tech and marketing in legal!

Whether you're a founder, law firm leader, or legal innovator, I can help you communicate your value with clarity, strategy, and style.

Curious about alternative careers, navigating law school, or breaking into legal tech? DMs are open. Always happy to chat.

P.S. You call me Samridhi or Sam, I know you’ve read this. If it’s “Samriddhi,” “Samidhi,” or “Samrudhi”… you’re definitely bluffing 😄
