Law firms that treat innovation like a team sport are the ones shaping the future of legal practice.

Chris Batz and Howard Rosenberg sit down with Jamie Drozd, the managing partner at Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, a corporate law firm known for leaning into technology in ways that actually stick. Jamie shares how her path, from commercial litigator to firm leadership, was shaped by early lessons in service, and how those same values now guide her in a role she never set out to pursue.

What does meaningful growth look like for a modern law firm? For Jamie, it’s not about size. It’s about deepening expertise in industries like technology, financial services, and media, while staying rooted in strong client relationships and a culture that prioritizes collaboration over ego.

Jamie also offers a candid look at how the firm is approaching technology, including artificial intelligence. From firm-wide hackathons to building custom AI tools that support legal writing and workflow, Davis Wright Tremaine LLP is taking a hands-on approach to innovation—one that empowers people at every level to think creatively about client service.

This episode leaves listeners with a clear vision: growth that reflects the firm’s values, a workplace that supports both ambition and well-being, and a culture where tech isn’t a trend but a mindset.
