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...
We like to talk about leadership a lot. There are numerous resources on this topic and although very often the principles suggested are followed, many times they are not. Having the opportunity to experience what leadership looks like in the West, East Europe and United States I can say that I have always set higher expectations in the United States because of the position it takes in the world and especially for having access to the best resources, at least until recently. Unfortunately, having access to the best resources does not necessarily mean that one will apply them and then there is this sense of entitlement which sounds like “I know everything that is to know about the topic and...
Those of you who are passionate about astrology must have heard that although nobody could really predict the Pandemic, most astrologers and other professionals in the related fields knew that a major event was coming due to the 6 or 7 eclipses that took place in only one year, which is a lot. A worldwide financial crisis was expected, but not a pandemic, and we've ended up having both. This tells us that there are signs everywhere we just don't see them because we refuse to, or we are not ready. Maybe we were not ready to see the pandemic coming because we were not ready for a big change on the conscience level. Eckhart Tolle calls it "collective spiritual...
Many of us who have decided to take on a career in the legal field, regardless of whether you are a practicing lawyer or not, did that because something about being a legal professional appealed to them. A wise man once said that our character shapes our destiny. I happen to agree with the fact that to be able to thrive in a certain field, legal or not, you need to have a certain character for that. For some that becomes an intuitive thing, because this is who they really are, and others need to build a character once embarked on this adventure. What I find interesting is that we spend years on building that character by telling ourselves how...
One of my favorite professors at "AI. Cuza Iassy" told us during a class that although we were born little before or after the 90', we still had a communist mindset. If you were born in East Europe or know somebody who was, you've probably heard a lot of stories about life before many countries obtained so much wanted independence, life after acquiring it and life in the present moment. I would probably be the wrong person to argue that fact, support or deny it , but one thing I remember very well is that Communism was a lot about commitment. I still hear my mom bragging about that. How wonderful it was that one would know exactly a life...
