A Time of Unprecedented Innovation in Legal Technology
February 10, 2014
Just back from last week’s LegalTech in New York, and with the perspective of someone who has been writing about legal technology for more than two decades, I am convinced that I have never before seen a time of such intense and creative innovation in legal technology. However, it is not LegalTech that has me thinking that; rather, it is a legal-tech sideshow that coincided with it called ReInvent Law NYC. LegalTech is billed as the largest and most important legal technology event of the year....

Legal Tech in the Age of the Consumer
March 14, 2013
On the second day of the powerhouse that is LegalTech, I thought it might be timely to look at two signs of change for technology as it affects the enterprise legal market. The fact that you have a conference that goes for nearly three full days is a testament to (a) its staying power, and (b) that a lot of people want to go to New York on an expense account. Many of the prime movers in the legal technology space use the conference as an opportunity to release new products and initiatives...
