Today, I've decided to dive a bit into the unknown. China, as a country and legal system, has always presented an interest to me. As an emerging country with its growth driven by its Government' "way of doing things", it is very interesting to watch the role it plays in the international legal technology scene. I personally find it very intriguing and exciting to watch how countries, outside of the Silicon Valley, are keeping up with the legal tech trends. My team and I have dedicated some time to put together the top 10 legal software used in China. It was not an easy task, I will tell you, and obviously our goal was not to come up with a...
The law firm of the future has always been a hot topic for me and I am sure that there are many people out there who love to speculate on the way it may turn around for many of us, for example the death of some of the jobs; and some of them even take the courage to predict the future. In a way, we all know that the best way to predict the future is by looking at the past. The book "Artificial Intelligence an Illustrated History" has shed some light in this regard. It talks about the beginning of the beginnings, from the Medieval Robots and all the way to the Neural Networks, that which we are living...
If you are one of those people who like to create an excel spreadsheet just to decide on what gym to join, measuring the pros and cons, or even decide on a small purchase such as a party dress, I am not. I personally get overwhelmed by the amalgam of choices and prefer to be given three options that I could choose from. The three options trick comes from my time spent renting apartments in New York City many years ago. So, if you didn't know how that works, I will share it with you. Your broker will usually show you three apartments on your very first appointment. He will expect you to go with the middle one. You will...
Lately we have encountered many theories of conspiracy and since I am not too fond of them I really hope that this article will not sound like one. I would call it a look into the future by examining the past. We are living in the era of the Aquarius and many experts are promising big transformations on the collective level and because the Aquarius is the voice of the future to some extent, I find it very insightful to think about the future of the legal tech. I would relate my story to the fashion industry and the history of it. As we very well notice, fashion always returned. We went from very long and puffy dresses to very...
A friend recently shared an article with me about the concept of “toxic positivity” - the idea that positivity, when taken to an extreme or misapplied, can become harmful or invalidating. As someone deeply fascinated by how the human mind works, I found it refreshing to explore a perspective that challenges mainstream self-help narratives. After all, who among us hasn’t, at some point, reached for that book - the one that promises to fix us, help us lose weight, become a better leader, or finally feel whole? One of the most impactful books I encountered during my time in startup management was Leading with Questions. The core premise is simple yet profound: asking the right question is half the answer. So,...
