Collaboration is important for lawyers if they wish to avoid becoming irrelevant.

That was the main takeaway from the fifth annualLexThink.1 event. Founded by Matthew Homann, CEO of Kendeo, and held on the eve of ABA Techshow, LexThink.1 welcomed a dozen speakers to the stage at the Chicago Hilton on Wednesday to speak about ways lawyers can reinvent themselves in order to stay relevant during changing times. Representing legal startups and commercial vendors as well as small and medium-sized law firms, the speakers adhered to a rapid-fire format that limited their speeches to six minutes each. Similar to February’s ReInvent Law NYC conference, LexThink.1 encouraged lawyers to embrace technology in order to better serve their clients and create efficiencies in their practices.

Several LexThink.1 speakers also extolled the virtues of working outside the traditional Big Law paradigm, emphasizing the flexibilities of small, medium or even virtual firms.
