Josh Hyatt & Josh Konigsberg on Technology Connecting Law Firms with Experts
JUPITER, Florida — In Episode 29 of the AGM Attorney Podcast (formerly the Behind the Bench Podcast for Lawyers), host Josh Konigsberg welcomes guest Josh Hyatt. Drawing from his roots in investment banking and private equity and his experience as President of Expert Institute, Josh Hyatt shares how the business-minded, research-driven approach helps contingency-based plaintiff firms achieve higher settlements, streamline operations, and focus more time on client advocacy.
In this episode of the Aggressive Growth-Minded Attorney Podcast, Hyatt and Konigsberg discuss the following points regarding technology, catastrophic injury law case strategy, and seizing opportunities for both clients and law firm growth:
How plaintiff firms can scale profitably by outsourcing non-core functions like expert searches and medical record reviews, freeing attorneys to focus on litigation and strategy.
How Josh Hyatt’s Transition from Finance to Justice was driven by a passion to help firms secure justice for clients facing catastrophic injuries.
The three core products driving Expert Institute’s success: Medical Record Review, Expert Search, and Radar, their generative-AI tool that gives firms a strategic edge in depositions and trials.
Hyatt recounts a $20 million verdict for former MLS goalkeeper Jake Gleason, where Expert Institute’s Radar uncovered a pivotal contradiction in opposing expert testimony.
Hyatt urges attorneys to adopt a disciplined CEO mindset prioritizing focus, resource management, and operational efficiency over “shiny object syndrome.”
Hyatt warns against blind reliance on generative AI, emphasizing Expert Institute’s human-oversight model to avoid costly “AI hallucinations.”
Lawyers need to learn continuously from peers and other industries by staying curious, building networks, and not just “staying in your lane.”
The conversation offers a rare inside look at how forward-thinking law firms use data, AI, and expert insights to build stronger cases, outperform competitors, deliver better outcomes for clients, and scale efficiently. Attorneys, law-firm leaders, marketers, and aspiring thought leaders alike will gain invaluable lessons on strategy, leadership, and innovation from this engaging discussion.
Expert Institute is helping law firms build upon their strengths through data-driven networking and insights to redefine the future of litigation strategy and firm growth: "Law firms scale efficiently when they focus on case strategy and outsource non-core functions like merit review, expert sourcing, and opposing expert due diligence. Our value proposition is simple: first, we help firms increase settlement values by being experts in these non-core functions; and second, we reduce the internal time and cost spent on those non-core functions so attorneys can focus on winning their cases."
Hyatt is deeply aware of both the opportunities and potential pitfalls of adopting new technology, taking care to guide attorneys and law firms by encouraging a spirit of disciplined focus: "AI has incredible potential for law firms, but human oversight is essential. At Expert Institute, we combine AI with expert review to maintain speed, accuracy, and reliability. Successful law firm leaders prioritize what truly matters, then focus on aligning internal vs external resources accordingly." Carefully leveraging a strategic and data-driven approach to connect attorneys with the right experts fuels better case outcomes and stronger settlements for a firm’s clients.
Regarding appearing on the AGM Attorney podcast, Josh Hyatt added, “It was great connecting with you, Josh. I appreciate all the questions, and it was great to speak about the recent industry trends — especially with how rapidly the world of technology and litigation has been evolving recently.”
