From Outdated Law Firm SOPs to AI Prompt Libraries and Internal Chatbots, with Ernie Svenson

Episode 19

Tuesday, June 23, 2026 • Duration 58:06

Are your law firm's SOPs collecting dust in a shared drive while your team struggles to find answers, follow processes, and leverage AI effectively?

In this episode of the Alpha Lawyer Podcast, Jason Marsh sits down with Ernie Svenson, attorney, legal technology expert, to discuss how law firms can transform outdated standard operating procedures into dynamic AI-powered knowledge systems. As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into legal practice, firms have an opportunity to move beyond static documents and create intelligent resources like curated chatbots that make institutional knowledge more accessible and actionable.

Ernie shares practical strategies for converting SOPs into AI prompt libraries and Claude "skills", internal chatbots, and searchable knowledge bases that help attorneys and staff work more efficiently. He explains why most firms already have valuable knowledge trapped inside documents that are rarely used, and how AI can unlock that information in ways that improve training, consistency, and operational efficiency. From prompt and skill engineering to internal AI assistants, this conversation provides a roadmap for law firms looking to modernize how knowledge is captured, shared, and used.

🎧 Listen to learn: ✔️ Why traditional SOPs often fail to deliver value after they're created ✔️ How AI can transform static documentation into interactive knowledge systems ✔️ The benefits of creating internal AI chatbots for law firm operations ✔️ Why prompt libraries can improve consistency and productivity across teams ✔️ How firms can leverage existing SOPs instead of starting from scratch ✔️ Practical ways to organize institutional knowledge for AI-powered retrieval ✔️ Why knowledge management is becoming a competitive advantage for law firms ✔️ How AI can improve onboarding and training for new employees ✔️ Common mistakes firms make when implementing AI tools ✔️ First steps to building an internal AI knowledge system 🔗 Follow and Connect with Ernie Svenson 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ernieattorney/ 🌍 Ernie Attorney Inner Circle: https://www.ernietheattorney.net/ernie-attorney-inner-circle
