The Effectiveness Project with Ivy Grey & Chris Cangero - LegalTechLIVE - Episode 130 Nov 18, 2021

In a change of pace for our show, we do not cover a legaltech startup in this episode. Instead, we take a look at The Effectiveness Project, which is a legal technology collaboration through the Legal Technology Core Competencies Certification Coalition and a variety of legal technology vendors.

The Effectiveness Project is an international working group of legal professionals, with support from LTC4, collaborating to establish best practices and baseline skills for creating effective legal documents. They are focusing, at present, on what is called Document Competency.

The first release from The Effectiveness Project, is the Document Competency Best Practices Guide. This guide is free and can be downloaded right now. See the link below. The Best Practices Guide was created with the understanding that the legal document-creation process is highly individualized. As such, The Effectiveness Project sought to provide guidance that is specific, yet flexible. To meet that goal, the Best Practices Guide is divided into drafting stages so it can be used as a modular part of a workflow.

Two participants in the collaboration are friends, and former guests, of LegalTechLIVE. They joined us to describe the goals and mission of The Effectiveness Project.

Ivy Grey is the Vice President of Strategy and Business Development at Wordrake. Ivy has been the driving force behind the effort to improve efficiency and effectiveness of document creation through The Effectiveness Project.

Chris Cangero is the Chief Executive Officer of DocStyle, LLC and another of the leading voices behind push for better document creation via The Effectiveness Project.

Erin Levine CEO and Founder of Hello Divorce - LegalTechLIVE - 124 Sep 09, 2021

We cannot pretend to be objective about this interview. Erin Levine has been a friend of the show for several years. She's previously been a co-host and has been a huge supporter for other women founders who have been on the show. In the episode Erin takes us from inception of Hello Divorce to her decision to fundraise (coming off a recent $2M raise). Her company has faced many difficulties including a patchwork of jurisdictional and local rules, the difficulties of reframing the idea of divorce and the approaches to wellness they've employed in a more holistic approach to the termination of the marital contract. Further, we dive into finding the right investors and moving from an small "all hands on deck" #legaltech #startup into a more refined operationalized and systematized company. A necessary change for a growing #justicetech company. We do not want to ruin this candid conversation by over-describing the interaction. Get to know Erin and Hello Divorce. They're leading the way on direct-to-consumer legal assistance. More about Erin Levine & Hello Divorce: Erin Levine on Twitter: https://twitter.com/hello_divorce.

Felicitas and Iraida Co Founders of Immigration Startup Gethedocs.com - LegalTechLIVE - Episode 123 Sep 02, 2021

If you've been following the news at all in the last 5 years, you're going to be inspired by this #startup. Felicitas Ukert is the Founder & CEO. Iraida Herrera is the Founder and VP. They met at Cornell Law School in 2019 when they were both pursuing their LLM's. It was during that time in law school that Get The Docs was born. They were aware of the crisis at the US border for those migrating from Central America. As they researched the issue of #immigration, they discovered many people already in the US often need to obtain documentation from their country of origin. They set out to make it easier to obtain documents from countries of origin. In order to do so, they needed to have contact with lawyers on the ground in those countries. That's what they did. Expecting they would have huge demand from immigrants moving to the United States, they were surprised to learn that was only about 50% of their inquiries. In fact, they also had significant inquiries from those in the US who were moving outside the country. Also, they have those in countries outside the US who need to obtain documents from an entirely separate nation state. Having such a broad total addressable market is both a blessing and curse. As it is difficult to describe to potential market to investors. You cannot tell investors the entire world is your market. So, they describe some of their experience in refining the product, the software, and their pitch. Felicitas and Iraida are most definitely addressing an issue where #legaltech can improve efficiency and help customers to rest at ease as the tracking of documents is outsourced to Get The Docs.

Haley Altman LegalTech Founder & Global Head of Corporate Development at Litera - Episode 122 Aug 26, 2021

Haley Altman has had a notable legal and #legaltech career. She's steadily moved forward from legal associate, to partner, to legaltech co-founder and CEO, and now sits as the Global Head of Corporate Development for the company that acquired her legal technology startup. In this episode, Haley shares her outstanding journey from legal practice into technology and entrepreneurship. Her experience should be shared with as many #startup founders as possible. Two takeaways that stood out in the conversation. Haley described what her startup offered, with precision. Make sure to listen to that aspect of her interview and refine the description of your startup. The second great takeaway was how her previous company found a sweet spot on the pain point lawyers were having in managing transactions. Lawyers knew it was a problem that required a solution. The added benefit, was many investors had been on the other side of closing transactions and therefore understood the problem her company was solving. As such, it put Doxly in a good place for selling the software as well as finding funding. Lastly, we touched on the recent acquisition of Kira Systems by Litera. There appears to be a focus on Litera becoming the one-stop shopping experience for legal transactions via #LiteraTransact.

Andy Wilson, CEO of eDiscovery Company Logikcull - LegalTechLIVE - Episode 121 Aug 05, 2021

Andy Wilson knows a thing or two about #legaltech. He's been operating in the legal technology space since 2004. Back when legal technology was eDiscovery and eDiscovery was legaltech. We were lucky to have him join the show because he has incredible experience in building a company, building the product, building the cloud, and then building a new version of his #eDiscovery company in cloud-based service on AWS. Not only did he build a venture backed company, but he built a bootstrapped company for many years, which allowed them to build the cloud service, before becoming venture-backed. At the point they decided to seek outside capital, it was all about growing at a faster rate. It wasn't a decision made easily. Andy spends a lot of time describing the thought process he went through before accepting outside money and from who to accept that money. Bottom line, if you are a #startup founder in the legal space, you're going to want to watch/listen to this episode because Andy shares some incredible knowledge and experience.

Professional Development for Lawyers with DueCourse CEO Drew Amoroso - LegalTechLIVE - Ep. 120 Jul 29, 2021

Drew Amoroso founded DueCourse to address a big problem he saw in the legal community: a lack of effective, modern development resources for lawyers. He believe's in the power of providing lawyers with the information they need to take control of their practice and career. He started his career as a senior associate at Reed Smith and was the immediate past president of the Barristers Club at the Bar Association of San Francisco. Drew is a visiting lecturer at UC Davis School of Law, the University of San Francisco, and Golden Gate University, where he teaches a Practice Ready Seminar designed to prepare law students to make the transition from students to practice-ready lawyers. As you will learn in this episode, Drew is a believer in health and fitness and upon leaving Reed Smith, he branded himself as a fitness lawyer. That is the way he carved out his individual practice area in the space he desired to practice. His underlying belief in wellness drove him to #professionaldevelopment, training, and coaching for #lawyers. After on-premises training, Due Course became a software-as-a-service tool connecting lawyers with coaches to help them achieve their personal and professional goals. Wellness is an ongoing problem in the legal industry, so anything that focuses on the wellness and personal growth is worth paying attention. #legaltech More about Drew Amoroso & DueCourse App: Drew Amoroso on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drewamoroso/.

It gives them a lot of flexibility to provide services as a full-service consultancy and law firm. The most poignant and probably highest profile topic we discussed is that of #algorithmicbias. Naturally, this is a topic that rears its ugly head in the #legaltech and justice technology discussions and topics. The nice thing about hiring a law firm with a scientist as a co-founder is your company has a full staff available to guide you through issues to avoid algorithmic bias.

Federico Pomi and Daniel Rollingher of NFT Real Estate Startup Fabrica.land - LegalTechLIVE - 108 Mar 30, 2021

We envision a new era where buying your house, refinancing your mortgage or running your real estate business will be powered by technology instead of paperwork and rubber stamps. As it happened in other industries, software will give us more freedom by unlocking full control and flexibility of what we own. This is what Federico Pomi, CEO of Fabrica, and Legal Counsel, Daniel Rollingher joined us to discuss. At present, they are focusing on transferring real property where title is held in a trust. The trust is then transferred via #blockchain in the form of an #NFT. Currently, Fabrica is working on proving the concept... proving that property ownership can be successfully transacted in this fashion. Lawyers and #legaltech communities need to pay attention. This can be done and is being done. Right now, it's being done with vacant land. But it is showing promise! This episode co-hosted by LexDAO member, James McCall for his first repeat appearance.

Florentina & Jacob Field CoFounders of Litigation Productivity Startup Prelimine - LTL Episode 107 Mar 19, 2021

Prelimine has created a drafting and editing tool specifically for litigators! LitKit automates tasks that waste litigators’ time when drafting briefs and other legal documents so they can focus on substance rather than form. With Prelimine's LitKit, litigators can stop wasting time on redaction, citation, and formatting issues that are regular pain points for lawyers and paralegals, especially at crunch-time when that deadline is rapidly approaching. Another great aspect of this interview, is we finally got the episode where the tool was born out of necessity with the COVID-19 pandemic acting as the catalyst. After working from home in the middle of the pandemic, Jacob was able to see the headaches his litigator-wife, Florentina, was experiencing trying to format legal documents. He had a built in user to immediately test what he was developing! In this episode, recent guest Kristin Hodgins, joined us again as a co-host. Coming from her experience on the buy-side of #legaltech, she had some really great questions and feedback for these #startup founders.

Chris Draper Managing Director of File Security Startup Trokt.com - LegaltechLIVE - Episode 105 Feb 25, 2021

Trokt stores Thumbprints of sensitive documents in its distributed network. A thumbprint is a #cryptographic hash number that determines a documents authenticity, at the time you applied the hash number. Demonstrating that a file’s Thumbprint is held in Trokt’s network proves – in nearly any court – that the file has not been modified in any way since the date and time it appeared in the Trokt network. Every file that can be instantly proven valid – or invalid – by Trokt reduces the need for costly forensic analyses. Storing file Thumbprints for rapid validation reduces the time and cost of compliance audits or incident response and forensics efforts. All Trokt file Thumbprinting processes occur on the machines that hold the sensitive files. No sensitive file is opened or held by Trokt. The only data that is sent to Trokt about a sensitive file is the irreversible file Thumbprint. Chris Draper is also a regular host on Clubhouse, where he has done a wonderful job of creating wide-ranging conversations on #legaltech, justice, and access to #justice issues. He's built quite the diverse community on Clubhouse discussing pressing issues where law and technology intersect in our world.

6Clicks.io is a early stage startup addressing a wide range of compliance, risk management and regulation technology ( #regtech ) issues. Their risk management, governance and compliance software is quick to implement and easily scales to meet changing needs. 6Clicks has a variety of solutions for startups, enterprise, and government. We were only able to touch on a variety of #artificialintelligence creations by the company, in a 45 minute interview. One of the most interesting compliance solutions for those of us in the #legaltech space, is the Modern Slavery Compliance. Allowing a company to protect their supply chains from slavery risk with assessments linked to regulations built-in to 6clicks. We discuss this and more in this analysis, including, how they got the name 6Clicks. Spoiler alert... 6 clicks is not a lot of clicks.

Arbitrator Intelligence CEO & Founder Catherine Rogers - LegalTechLIVE - Episode 098 Sep 24, 2020

What if we told you the annual international arbitration market was worth $2 Trillion? Would that make you more interested in what this #legaltech #startup is offering? Would it help you to see the value? Arbitrator Intelligence Reports contain crucial data and feedback about international arbitrators and arbitrations. This information and related analytics enable users to make better-informed decisions about arbitrator selection and case strategy. Data in Reports can be used to narrow a party’s pool of possible arbitrators to appoint, compare arbitrators being considered for appointment, and learn about arbitrators appointed by opposing parties or institutions. LegalTechLIVE has dealt with online dispute resolution options in the past, but we had not specifically dealt with international #arbitration and arbitrators. After learning more about the value of the matters in dispute as well as the lucrative nature of international arbitration, we think you'll pay closer attention to this market. Our guest Catherine Rogers has an impressive career in academia. She's also now the founder and CEO of this legaltech startup. She did what we'd like to see more startup founders do on the show... pitch her company and seek funding!

Michael & Chris Founders of Personal Injury Damages Startup PainWorth - LegalTechLIVE - Episode 093 Aug 13, 2020

From tragedy to triumph? Or, is the saying "from tragedy to legaltech?" It is hard to say. In the case of Mike Zouhri, it was the difficulties from a motor vehicle accident, caused by a drunk driver, and the ensuing troubles of trying to understand the legal system and how to file a claim. Even after filing a claim, how do you determine the value of your claim? This is the problem Mike Zouhri and Chris Trudel set out to solve. Here is what PainWorth offers. PainWorth is the world's first fully-automated app that helps you calculate the potential value of your: Personal injury claim; car accident settlement; medical malpractice lawsuit; slip & fall injury or tripping injury; assault & battery injury. So, if you have ever tried to calculate your injuries and the damages associate with those injuries, you've probably found a lead generation tool on a law firm website that doesn't actually calculate the damages for you. Rather, puts you into contact with a law firm. PainWorth actually gives you court data to help you review similar claims and the amount of compensation for those claims. Check out this episode and see what this #accesstojustice #legaltech company is doing to build transparency in the court system by making data available to injured parties. #startups More about the Founders & PainWorth: Mike Zouhri on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikezouhri/.

Access to Justice Tech with Amanda Brown of Lagniappe Law Lab -LegalTechLIVE - Episode 088 Jun 26, 2020

We committed to doing at least one episode a month on the topic of #accesstojustice. This is one of those episodes. The way Amanda Brown came to our attention was her incredible hustle to improve access to justice for consumers in Louisiana. She definitely encompasses the entrepreneurial spirit, even though she works in the #legalaid field. Amanda Brown's personal website refers to her as "young lawyer and #legaltech geek." Legaltech geek? That's our entire demographic! Amanda recognized a need for a centralized technology resource center, so she formed Lagniappe (LAN-Yap) Law Lab to serve Louisiana's civil justice system. Her organization, she is the founder and Executive Director, provides direct technology consulting and project management services to legal service providers and justice community members across the state. Through the use of technology, design thinking, and operations principles, Lagniappe Law Lab aims to put people at the center of the legal process, bringing a more streamlined legal service experience to Louisiana’s underprivileged populations. After continually seeing amazing efforts by Amanda, Nick Rishwain asked her to join and share about her innovative solutions to civil justice problems. During the recent COVID-19 crisis, Amanda went to work using document automation service, Community Lawyer, to create several simple solutions for those impacted by the crisis. She created a rent relief "letter generator" where consumers could input their data and have a professional letter drafted, which they could then send to their landlord asking for a rent reduction or other relief. Soon thereafter, Amanda noticed the need for some guidance with the economic impact navigator related to the CARES Act stimulus program. Being proactive, she created a simplified version to help marginalized populations discover if they could expect any stimulus money. There was only one co-host to be chosen for this episode. Diego Alcala, a past guest-host, assisted Amanda in creating the Spanish-language version of the rent relief tool. We hope you enjoy this episode and Amanda's proactive efforts to better serve consumers in her state.

Devshi and Leslie of Criminal Justice Startup JusticeText - LegalTechLIVE - Episode 087 Jun 24, 2020

Devshi Mehrotra and Leslie Jones-Dove were graduating seniors at the University of Chicago, when they created their criminal justice reform #startup, JusticeText. Their company enhances the legal discovery process with a comprehensive video evidence management tool, created initially for public defenders. Public defenders can upload body camera footage, interrogation videos, and jail calls up to 4 hours in length to our online portal. JusticeText generates an automated transcription of the uploaded video evidence, notifying you upon completion. Public defenders can then use the JusticeText interactive editor to edit, comment on, and export the generated transcript. In essence, they have created a productivity tool to help speed the analysis of audio and video used in criminal justice matters. Check out these inspiring guest, youngest founders to date, and learn how they're putting their computer science skills to use to improve the criminal justice system. #legaltech #justicetech We're joined for the first time by former guest and now co-host Johann Drolshagen of Judicial Assessment Solutions.

Jorge Izquierdo CEO of AragonOne discusses AragonProject Digital Courts - LegalTechLIVE - 083 Jun 15, 2020

Jorge Izquierdo, CEO of Aragon.one, believes that decentralized organizations can solve the world's problems. He and his team are working to create a decentralized autonomous organization, #DAO, capable of solving those problems. We had him on the show to discuss the AragonProject, found at aragon.org, and their digital jurisdictions and digital court. You can actually sign up to be a juror and help solve disputes taking place in their system. You do have to use Ethereum coins to buy tokens on the Aragon system in order to be a juror. But in order to see how a digital court is already working, testing out this service is valuable. Nick Rishwain was joined, again, by former guest and friend Adam Kerpelman of Juris. Adam is quite knowledgeable in a variety of technology areas and has written a white paper on #blockchain technologies similar to what Aragon has instituted. If you really enjoy seeing Nick Rishwain out of his depth... which isn't too hard to do, you'll enjoy this episode where Jorge and Adam talk shop and Nick listens. #legaltech #crypto More About Jorge Izquierdo & Aragon: Jorge Izquierdo on Twitter: https://twitter.com/izqui9.

Chris Brown, Founder of Contract Canvas with Katia Alcantar - LegalTechLIVE - 080 May 26, 2020

Contract Canvas is the easy way for creative professionals to create and e-sign client agreements. This platform for creative professionals, makes contract language, humans can read. Create, preview, e-sign, and save. That’s all there is to it. Take a listen to this very refined pitch from #legaltech founder, Chris Brown. How does it work? Here are the steps outlined on the Contract Canvas website: 1. Tell them about your project: their user-guided contract wizard will ask you to provide the important details about your project–payment terms, termination rights, ownership of work product, and more. 2. Preview your contract: All Contract Canvas contracts include a summary designed for humans not lawyers and also a legal version designed for lawyers and judges. You can preview your contract, return to the wizard to make changes, and edit as much as you’d like. 3. Send your contract to your client: Next, click “Send to Client” and we’ll email your client a secure link where they can access your contract online. 4. Client preview: Your client can securely review both the human summary and the legal terms on our platform. If they have questions or changes, they can email you directly. 5. Client e-signs: Once approved by your client, they can easily provide their e-signature using our platform (through an integration with HelloSign). 6. You e-sign: We’ll let you know as soon as your client e-signs your contract. After they sign, you can e-sign too (again, using an integration with HelloSign). 7. We share the final contract: After you e-sign, we will save the final, fully-signed contract to your dashboard. We’ll also send a PDF copy of the contract to both you and your client via email. Check out the episode. You'll see that Chris Brown knows his product inside and out. Also, a special thanks to Katia Alcantar for co-hosting this episode, her first, with Nick Rishwain.

Dan Rubins of Legal Robot Returns to LegalTechLIVE - Episode 079 May 24, 2020

NickJRishwain 86 subscribers SUBSCRIBE Years ago, when LegalTechLIVE was just a fledgling little show, one of our earliest interviews was with a brand new startup, LegalRobot. Founder, Dan Rubins was probably in the first 10 episodes of the show back in late 2015. Unfortunately, as a we had transferred from multiple social platforms, we lost some of our early content. Every time I ran into Dan at events, I'd tell him to let me know when he wanted to return to the show and tell me about the advancements. Now, having been in #legaltech for more than 5 years, Dan has some outstanding knowledge and experience to share with other #founders. Additionally, although LegalRobot is presently a part-time gig, he's still working on some really fascinating analytical tools. Tools that are now helping investigative reporters make connections between politicians and money. Dan Rubins is a knowledgeable dude. I hope you'll take the time to listen to this interview. He knows a lot about legaltech and #accesstojustice. Oh, and I should say this was our first COVID-19 interview, recorded under stay-at-home order on March 19th, 2020.

Drag and Drop LegalAI with Jason Morris of Blawx and Jason Velez - LegalTechLIVE - 078 May 22, 2020

In a new episode covering computational law, we're joined by Jason Morris, founder of Blawx. Blawx has been described as "user friendly rules as code on the web," and also described as "drag and drop legal AI." There is no software to install. Blawx can be used from wherever you have access to the web, and can power any tool that can access the web. Blawx has features specifically designed to make it easier to code complex, changing legal rules and regulations. It’s so easy, anyone can learn how to encode legal knowledge in Blawx. Yes. Even lawyer. Founder Jason Morris compared Blawx for lawyers as similar to what Excel for accountants. For those of you concerned about how Excel impacted the business of accounting, you'll be happy to know it grew the profession. Now if we can use mathematical equations in the practice of law, and lawyers are capable of using these mathematical equations in practice... where might that take the practice of law? This episode is co-hosted by Jason Velez, in his first time in the co-host seat. Jason Velez is a California lawyer and legaltech founder as well.

Contract Automation for Clients & Lawyers with Blaine Korte of Fidu and Ashley Pepitone - LegalTechLIVE - Episode 076 May 12, 2020

It’s a contract automation and management system for your clients with your precedent, and the fastest way to deliver customized contracts. It’s where your clients create, sign, and store the customized contracts and documents you provide them. With a standard document template sent to a client as a Word document, a lawyer is never quite sure what’s happening to it: Are important paragraphs being cut out? Are they even using the document? Are the signed copies well organized or just stuffed in a drawer? With Fidu, never worry. Client documents are stored simply and safely, they’re created in seconds, and signed copies are always accessible. This is the offering from Fidu, brought to you by the mind of Blaine Korte, a developer turned #legaltech entrepreneur. Is this something your firm needs? He's not attacking Biglaw at this time. He's focused on the small and medium sized firms. Their website design is very clean and gets right to the point with visible pricing. Making her first appearance as co-host this week, we have Ashley Pepitone, Esq. from JurisBytes (winner of the 2019 #ABATECHSHOW #startup alley). Ashley brought some outstanding questions and insights from her own personal litigation and startup experience. Enjoy the show!

Human Readable Smart Contract Programming with Carla & Henning of Lexon.Tech - LegalTechLIVE - Episode 075 May 11, 2020

Lexon is a new type of program language that anyone can read. Programs used to be behind an hermetic wall. Most of us had to trust other people to create, validate, interpret and maintain programs for us. Not any more. Lexon is the next generation of program language: human readable like natural language. Lexon can be used to describe agreements and business logic. It was designed to make the code of blockchain smart contracts readable for non-programmers. Lexon merges law and automation. The legal and the program text are ONE. In this episode, we are joined by Lexon.Tech developer Henning Diedrich and Professor Carla Reyes, as they explain to us the uses for their human-readable natural language programming option that can be used to create Blockchain-based smartcontracts. One of the ways I explain the technology is that it is a WYSWIG editor for Blockchain programming in Sophia and Solidity programming languages. But it is so much more powerful if those reading the contracts can see what they say in real time. This episode is outside of our normal legaltech startup interviews. This is more in line with our efforts to continue our interviews in computational law.

Collaborative Content Management Platform InstantAttorney with Everett Pompeii and Erin Levine - LegalTechLIVE - Episode 074 May 04, 2020

Instant Attorney grew out of our founder's frustration trying to track down all of the innovative legal solutions being developed for consumers and small and medium-sized businesses. There were already thousands of Price Forward legal solutions out there. Yet there wasn't a marketplace for clients to find, compare, and review them. Instant Attorney solves the problem of identify and compiling the myriad of legal apps, books, forms, and services that emerge nearly daily by creating a wiki-powered platform that can be updated by Partners and searched by users so they can find a product or service best suited for their legal needs. Some of the resources listed are paid and some of the resources listed are free, but every resource that meets our quality standards can be listed on Instant Attorney free of charge. Founder, Everett Pompeii, a software engineer by day and legaltech founder by night and weekend, approached Nick Rishwain at the Legal Services Corporation, Innovations and Technology Conference, wearing his company colors. That was all it took for Nick to invite him on the show. The neon-orange hoodie definitely stood out at the conference. Listen to this episode and get a feeling for what Everett thought was missing in the access to justice space and the problem he's decided to solve with his collaborative content management system (CMS). Nick is joined by first time co-host, and good friend, Erin Levine of Hello Divorce. You'll see in this episode that a litigator always has the last word, but also asks some amazing questions!

Drone Law Part 2 with Mark Dombroff and Thomas Hamilton LegalTechLIVE Episode 072 Apr 29, 2020

Mark Dombroff is a returning guest and aviation expert with more than four decades of experience in aviation practice. He made his first appearance on #LegalTechLIVE episode 31. As you'll see, Mark is a consummate professional with an impressive curriculum vitae, including representing Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. in the landmark Supreme Court case Boyle v. United Technologies, which established the government contractor defense, and in Mounsey v. Allied-Signal, a "friendly fire" litigation, winning the manufacturer's dismissal from the case after the government invoked the state secrets doctrine to avoid responding to third-party subpoenas. We are joined by first time co-host, Thomas J. Hamilton, of VP of Strategy and Operations at ROSS Intelligence. Tommy, coordinates efforts across the company to ensure that sole practitioners, legal aid groups, law firms, government agencies, corporate law departments, state bar associations, and law faculties are able to benefit from cutting edge developments in artificial intelligence research. Mark and Tommy join host Nick Rishwain for lively discussion about #drone law and the advancements and consolidations that have taken place since Mark joined the show more than two and half years ago. This is one fascinating subject matter in #legaltech, which is looking more and more like aviation on a daily basis.

How do we do justice to this guest? Leila Banijamali is a lawyer, startup founder, singer, former semipro tennis player, with a wide variety of other accomplishments (i.e. explaining computational law complexities in a manner in which Nick Rishwain can understand). We're going to encourage her to add that last item to her bio. Leila and her team have built a proprietary system that allows individual users the ability to search cities or counties (currently San Francisco, Orinda, Redwood City, San Jose, Los Angeles, Fontana, and San Mateo County), to see how their particular property is zoned and determine if they can add an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). There are additional services for the municipalities and businesses as well. You may be interested in opening a coffee shop. Determine the appropriate locations with proper zoning and permitting to open that coffee shop using their "Build for Business" service. Symbium is looking for more cities to participate. So if you're with a planning commission or city planning department, reach them here: https://symbium.com/contact.

Access to Justice LegalTech with Claudia Johnson & Maya Markovich - LegalTechLIVE - Episode 070 Apr 24, 2020

We wanted to bring a special holiday edition of the show to our audience. In order to do so, we thought Access to Justice #LegalTech would be the appropriate topic for an End of Year, End of Decade, holiday special.

Maya's hard work delivered us Claudia Johnson of Probono.net and Program Manager for LawHelp Interactive. She is a wealth of knowledge on issues of #accesstojustice.

Winding Down a LegalTech Startup with Tunji Williams & Cat Moon - LegalTechLIVE - Episode 069 Apr 21, 2020

In this episode, we are once again joined by Tunji Williams, co-founder of DealWIP, which has now been "paused." The team did what they could with the long sales cycle for legal technology companies. Their productivity tool was spectacular and solved a real problem. Unfortunately, that is insufficient for success in the software game. Tunji was kind enough to join Cat Moon and Nick Rishwain to give us his experience in the startup world, what went well, what went wrong, and how he's moving forward. This is a very candid and transparent discussion. Tunji answered all sorts of questions from our live audience. Nick was joined by first time co-host, Professor Cat Moon. Cat Moon is the Director of Innovation Design for the Program on Law and Innovation (PoLI) at Vanderbilt Law School. In this role, she works with PoLI colleagues to design the curriculum for both the JD program and the PoLI Institute, which provides interactive training in legal innovation to practicing lawyers and legal professionals.

Improving Business Transactions with Amir Reshef CEO of dealcloser - LegalTechLIVE - Episode 053 Mar 08, 2020

Founded in 2016, dealcloser was created and developed by two corporate lawyers who wanted to make the transaction process more efficient. They were frustrated that such a huge and integral process was undertaken manually amidst all of the other technology available. Almost every other aspect of modern business can now be managed by a mobile device but clients participating in legal transactions still had to print documents to sign them, or physically come to their law firm to sign each document. Lawyers still had to track almost all aspects of a deal manually. As a result, dealcloser’s co-founders started dealcloser with one thing in mind: to provide lawyers with a better way to do transactions that would benefit them and their clients. In Episode 53, we're joined by Amir Reshef, CEO of dealcloser. He tells us all about his experience as a corporate transactional attorney and the personal pain points he experienced. Those pain points led to the development of dealcloser.
