At #ILTACON2026, Tim Kenney sat down with Andrew Hutchinson, Founder of Rebel.Group, to talk acquisitions, AI hype and what law firms actually need.


After more than 20 years in legal tech, Hutch has seen the same pattern play out again and again: companies get acquired, founders move on, and the people with the passion and deep product knowledge disappear with them.

They also get into whether AI will really reduce legal spend, whether todayโ€™s valuations make sense, and why better data could completely change pricing and how firms resource matters.
