Every time I reflect on the word' purpose,' my mind drifts back to the earliest chapters of my life, when the world felt like a fairytale, brimming with endless possibility. That sense of wonder hasn’t left me, even though some of my oldest dreams have been shattered more than once. Still, I hold fast to this belief: a life without purpose is a life only half-lived. Purpose isn’t some distant ideal. It should greet us in the morning like an alarm clock, echo in the meals we choose, shape the way we move through our days, guide our travel, and, most critically, influence what we choose to do for a living. This is not a decision to be made lightly. Our...
In her groundbreaking book Who Can You Trust?, Rachel Botsman explores how trust takes on many shapes and forms in today’s world. I found her work not only unique but also a powerful validation of the timeless saying: “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Through hundreds of interviews, Botsman discovered that the meaning of trust varies greatly from person to person - often in surprising ways. What becomes clear is that trust is not static; it is fluid, evolving, and deeply contextual. In fact, trust may be one of the most transformative forces shaping our modern world. Without it, there would be no relationships, no institutions, no progress - and certainly no innovation. And what drives today’s growth and...
Advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have been going forward at a rapid pace, and we have all seen the results in our day-to-day lives. Watching AI both create and eradicate jobs begs the question, “will AI ever be able to replace the legal professional?”. Fortunately, the answer is “no”, but the two will have to learn to co-exist. While AI will substantially change the way law firms work, those that chose to embrace it will find themselves with a significant advantage over their competitors. This new technology will automate and expedite the more routine work that comes with being a lawyer. According to Forbes.com, “It’s predicted AI will eliminate most paralegal and legal research positions within the next decade”. This...
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...
Looking back at all of the available resources out there on "how to change your paradigm", or "how to plan your life and be certain about where you will be in 10 years from now" I realize that an event like the pandemic can really turn the world upside down and make us realize that there are areas of our lives that cannot be predicted with certainty and we must be ok with it. It became so intuitive for us to not leave any room for errors, follow a trend or be enmeshed in a toxic positivity conscious, however, what we need to realize is that every single thing of this world has its place in our lives, at a...
