If you have read my articles, you've probably noticed that a trend has been flushing across the board. What is interesting is that my pre-pandemic research content was more focused on the Law Firm of the future, which seemed somewhere far and "yet to look into", and here I am today, not too long after, writing in the present moment. Little did I know that the future was going to arrive so fast. It is also interesting to write remotely about the impact of the pandemic in another country or even another continent in a time where it seems like the world stopped. It is very difficult, however, to judge the situation from afar while sitting in a New York...
Some people tend to say that New York City is not America due to its landmark, diversity and many other things. What differentiates it from other wonderful cities is its landmark. One of the most commonly used concepts refers to the Real Estate, like pre-war and post-war buildings. Yes, not every single building in this city looks like the Empire State Building or the Ground Zero. However, the beauty is in how the two different blueprints blend together. It is interesting to look at life, in general, through the lenses of a Pre and Post event. One of the most recent events that is and will remain a focus in many conversations and areas of life is COVID-19 and its...
Our Legal Software journey around the world, at least for now, will be resumed with the top ten used legal platforms in the US. The question that popped up in my head is "where did everything start"? I am tempted to say that the first legal software was designed in one of the Silicon Valley' startups, however, I may be wrong. Research will show us eventually how and where this new legal tech wave has its origins, but I will talk about that in a different article. So, let's turn our focus towards the US. So far, Clio came up as the leader in the US and we did see it coming up in other countries as well. Having personal...
My first encounter with the UK, as a country, has happened in 2003, way before I've landed in New York. What I remember about my stay in the UK was the super clean streets, even in a city like London, very windy weather up in Norwich, the Queen's garden, the super long hot dogs and super tasty jelly donuts. Everything was so new and exciting to a girl coming from a small East European city. But this article is not about the Buckingham Palace and surely not about the jelly donuts. Instead, I will try to take a look into the legal software legal professionals rely on in the UK. This journey around the world has been quiet exciting. To...
When I think of legal software, I think of all those amazing tools created by super talented engineers meant to enhance and ease the life of someone who is connected in any way to the legal industry. Yes, you are right "enhance" and "ease" and if you belong to the generation swamped and overwhelmed by the load of paperwork, than you will know where I am coming from. But, because the human being is not so great at identifying its needs and even more communicate them, there are still some discrepancies as to "what do lawyers need" and "how can we create, deliver and meet all of those needs". I also think that a lawyers' needs differ depending on the...
