Welcome to Fields Notes from a GC

I’m Laura Jeffords Greenberg. I'm the General Counsel and VP of Compliance at Worksome, and I'm building an AI-first legal function.

This is where I share what that actually looks like,week by week, in real time.

Not theory. Not predictions about how AI will change legal "someday."

The actual work: what I'm building, what's breaking, what tools I'm testing, what's working, and what I got wrong.

Why I'm doing this

I spent the last year at Wordsmith AI, where I built their Academy and trained over 3,000 legal professionals across the UK, Europe, and the US on how to implement AI into their legal practice. Before that, I built the product counsel function at Unity Technologies and made their first legal operations hire.

Every time, I was building something new, figuring it out as I went, learning by doing.

What I kept hearing from other legal leaders was the same thing: "I know AI is going to change how we work. I just don't know where to start."

So I'm showing you where I'm starting. Right now. In public.

What to expect

Every week, I'll share what's on my mind — usually three things I learned, noticed, or got wrong that week. Short reads. The kind of stuff I'd tell you over coffee if you asked me how the build was going.

If you're a GC, a legal ops leader, or an in-house lawyer trying to figure out how AI fits into your function — this is for you.
