Joshua Smith is a legal-tech consultant and instructor who helps teams design cooperative systems that produce win‑win outcomes. He earned his J.D. from Regent Law School, building a foundation in negotiation, ADR, and business law. He also graduated with a B.A. in Philosophy from Purdue University, sharpening the analytical and ethical judgment he brings to every engagement.

Joshua’s applied experience spans law, finance, and operations. At Poliquin & DeGrave LLP, he streamlined attorney workflows and augmented processes with AI to raise quality while reducing strain. At Peregrine Advisors, he automated key M&A documentation, translating boutique‑firm insights into practical tooling. He supported real‑estate closings and obtained notary certification at Caplan Law Group, grounding his advice in document‑level rigor. And with Aflac, he earned his Insurance Producer license and led an AI onboarding initiative focused on clear, client‑friendly experiences.

Clients value Joshua’s calm, service‑first style, refined through executive client service work at Right Click and multi‑site operations leadership at Premier Aquatics. His focus areas include AI enablement, M&A, contracts, real estate, and litigation, always anchored in cooperative planning and shared‑success metrics. When he’s not teaching, you’ll likely find him on a trail, he once led Purdue’s Hiking Club, recharging and reflecting.
