24hrs Inside a Silicon Valley Startup Building an AI Law Firm

In this episode, I go behind the scenes with Owen Zhang, Jomana Abdallah and Demetrius Johnson, the founders of Global Citizens, an AI-native immigration law firm in San Francisco. Rather than selling AI software to other law firms, they’re building the technology directly into their own operations. Their system, Loki, coordinates cases, gathers evidence and helps prepare petitions, allowing lawyers to focus more of their time on clients and legal strategy. According to The Business Research Company, the global immigration legal services market is estimated to be worth US$23.3 billion in 2026.
