Mathew Kerbis

Mathew Kerbis is The Subscription Attorney. He’s on a mission to affordably serve clients at scale via the subscription model and inspire attorneys to abandon the billable hour. He founded the law firm Subscription Attorney LLC after working for private practice law firms for nine years. His firm leverages automations and artificial intelligence to offer more accessible and reasonable prices like legal advice starting at $19.99/month and $49.99/page. Kerbis realized the subscription model could revolutionize the legal profession, so he launched the podcast Law Subscribed to help attorneys make the same choice. He also speaks and writes about how generative artificial intelligence is changing the way law is practiced. Kerbis has presented at ABA TECHSHOW, Stanford’s CodeX online community, several other online publications, and as a guest lecturer for law schools.
