When it comes to legal tech, it's important to understand the different types of legal tech that exist. Otherwise, it is easy to feel befuddled and/or overwhelmed. I know I once was. I put together a brief overview of one way to categorize these types of legal tech. And, for those wondering, in my view, Generative AI, isn't a "type" but is often an element of one or more types of legal tech. Please review, share, and let me know what you think of it in the comments. I'm Colin, Director of Legal and Evangelist at Malbek - CLM for Enterprise. I am your guide to the world of legal tech.  Please follow me, buy my book, and subscribe to my LinkedIn Newsletter! #legaltech #innovation #law #business #learning

Law firms need to keep every single document gathered in discovery, sent via email, or filed with a court in a case they are handling. But the lawyer and paralegal working on discovery responses / a letter to regulators / a motion – they only need a subset of that information. And they don't like having to break their concentration from the writing process to switch back and forth between 50 PDFs and different document storage systems, using Ctrl F to look for keywords. We've solved this problem by building Clearbrief to integrate seamlessly with a law firm's e-discovery and case management platforms. I'm so proud to announce our latest major integrations with Relativity and iManage! Our Biglaw customers have been asking us for this for months and it's finally here. Now the lawyers can keep the thousands of documents related to a specific writing project in their Clearbrief matter folder for easy concept searching and citation with our AI tools. The originals, along with the other million files they don't need for the writing project, stay in Relativity and iManage. The first thing they do when they get them into Clearbrief? They make an instant hyperlinked timeline so they can give the client a super fast view of the key facts. #relativityfest #relativity #imanage #integrations #legaltech #litigation #lawyers #paralegals #ai Clio - Cloud-Based Legal Technology NetDocuments #startup

Just when I think I’ve had enough of the “billable hour has got to go” debate — and maybe wondered if I’ve gone too far painting firms in a bad light, remembering I used to be one of them, after all, 🤷♂️ — I read this article brought to my attention by one of our legal advisory team, William Holman. As a former litigator, and with a deep bench of client-facing work in legal tech, Will told me that he’s personally had this conversation with BigLaw firms during the roll-out of CoCounsel (before their acquisition by TR). Aside from the privacy and confidentiality concerns that we’ve all heard plenty about, this was probably the number one issue raised according to Will, and continues to be top-of-mind for firms as more GenAI use cases continue to emerge and find validation in the legal marketplace. Because when you have a firm business model that is all based on the number of hours your associates can work, what is the incentive to have them work half or a third of that time? Yes, there are a small number of firms — who are courageous enough and can afford to take the risk — who are moving on the opportunity as they work out how they can leverage GenAI to deliver services faster, more efficiently, and more accurately. But they are in the minority for now. That means in-house teams need to be asking for every piece of legal service that they are buying: "How are our firms using GenAI to drive a more efficient, cost-effective, and outcomes-driven delivery of legal services?" https://lnkd.in/guQ_dSzW
