Viktoria Bloomberg Speaks at Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Event in San Francisco
Updated: 6 days ago
On October 23, 2026, Viktoria Bloomberg, founder of Bloomrich Law Firm and immigration attorney, participated in a panel discussion at a Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses alumni event in San Francisco. The discussion focused on the practical applications of artificial intelligence in business and the role of human expertise in an era of automation.
The event brought together entrepreneurs from various industries to exchange experiences and explore how emerging technologies can create new opportunities for business growth.
Joining Viktoria on the panel were Lisa Riggs, founder and CEO of Spirit Sox USA, and Tanya Luken, CPA and president of Tanya Luken CPA PC.
The panelists discussed which business tasks can be automated, how artificial intelligence can improve operational efficiency, and where human expertise and professional judgment remain essential.
The relevance of these topics is reflected in recent Goldman Sachs research. According to a survey of 2,473 alumni of the program, 86% of respondents already use artificial intelligence in their businesses, yet only 15% reported having fully integrated AI into their core business operations.
Artificial Intelligence in Legal Practice: Technology in Service of Clients
During the discussion, Viktoria shared Bloomrich Law Firm's approach to adopting modern technologies and their potential benefits for legal practice.
For our team, the primary consideration when evaluating any new tool is its practical value to our clients. Can it streamline workflows, reduce time spent on administrative tasks, and free up resources for legal analysis and strategic planning?
This is particularly important in immigration law, where every case involves unique circumstances and long-term personal or business objectives.
For one client, immigration may represent an opportunity to advance a professional career in the United States. For another, it may mean expanding a business, relocating with family, or beginning a new chapter in life. An attorney's role therefore extends far beyond preparing documents. It requires evaluating legal options, identifying potential risks, and developing a strategy aligned with the client's goals.
Artificial intelligence can assist with organizing information, managing documents, and preparing preliminary checklists. For example, when preparing an immigration petition, technology can help structure large volumes of supporting materials and identify areas that may require further review.
However, determining whether the evidence is sufficient, identifying the appropriate immigration category, and making legal decisions remain the attorney's responsibility. Protecting confidential client information is also essential when using these tools.
This approach reflects one of the key questions Viktoria raised before traveling to San Francisco: "Where can technology improve our work, and where must the human element remain irreplaceable?"
At Bloomrich Law Firm, the answer lies in using technology where it genuinely improves efficiency while ensuring that attorneys retain professional oversight and responsibility for each client's legal strategy.
Returning to San Francisco After More Than Six Years
The trip held both professional and personal significance for Viktoria.
She returned to San Francisco for the first time in more than six years, now at a different stage of her career, with experience managing and developing her own law firm.
Much has changed during that time, from technology and approaches to entrepreneurship to Viktoria's own professional goals and the scope of her responsibilities.
In a LinkedIn post ahead of the event, she reflected on returning to a familiar city and how much her life and career had evolved over the years.
Participating in the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses event provided an opportunity to share Bloomrich Law Firm's experience, learn from entrepreneurs across different industries, and discuss the future applications of artificial intelligence in today's business environment.
Growing Bloomrich Law Firm: Innovation with Clients at the Center
Bloomrich Law Firm continues to refine its internal processes and explore new tools that can enhance the quality of legal services.
For us, the goal is not simply to adopt artificial intelligence, but to achieve meaningful results: better-organized workflows, clearer communication, and more time to focus on each client's individual needs.
We believe technology delivers its greatest value when it complements professional expertise and enables us to better serve the people who trust us with their futures.
