Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How are the practice and business of law likely to be impacted by the rise of “legaltech”--the wide array of emerging technologies and innovative processes that are aimed at improving the delivery of legal services? This chapter focuses on one particular type of legal practice, the representation of venture-backed technology startup companies, as a useful case study for how legaltech is already making significant inroads in this arena and, further, how these technologies have the potential to change corporate and transactional lawyering more broadly in the future. The chapter explores why startup lawyering makes for a revealing and instructive case study of legaltech's future impact on the legal industry; assesses the current state of startup lawyering practices, including how and to what degree the status quo is already in flux due to emergent legaltech innovations; and considers the import for startup lawyers of several technological innovations that are on the horizon, including artificial intelligence, distributed ledger technologies and legal workflow solutions. The chapter concludes with predictions of how the emerging technologies discussed may alter the business models and practices of startup law firms.

Download or read book Legal Tech and the Future of Civil Justice written by David Freeman Engstrom and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New digital technologies, from AI-fired 'legal tech' tools to virtual proceedings, are transforming the legal system. But much of the debate surrounding legal tech has zoomed out to a nebulous future of 'robo-judges' and 'robo-lawyers.' This volume is an antidote. Zeroing in on the near- to medium-term, it provides a concrete, empirically minded synthesis of the impact of new digital technologies on litigation and access to justice. How far and fast can legal tech advance given regulatory, organizational, and technological constraints? How will new technologies affect lawyers and litigants, and how should procedural rules adapt? How can technology expand – or curtail – access to justice? And how must judicial administration change to promote healthy technological development and open courthouse doors for all? By engaging these essential questions, this volume helps to map the opportunities and the perils of a rapidly digitizing legal system – and provides grounded advice for a sensible path forward.

Book excerpt: Three years ago, the first Liquid Legal book compelled the legal profession to reassess its identity and to aspire to become a strategic partner for corporate executives as well as for clients.

This second Liquid Legal book builds on the LLI’s progress and on the lessons learned by a legal community that has moved beyond focusing purely on LegalTech. It not only presents an outlook on how legal professionals will operate in the future, but also allows readers to develop a genuine understanding of the value of digitalization, standardization and new methodologies. Further, the book outlines a Common Legal Platform (CLP) and makes it the common point of departure for every author, offering inspiring insights from a wide range of forward-thinking experts who are all invested in driving new thinking within the legal ecosystem. The book also features “Liquid Legal Waves,” which provide links between the various articles, connecting concrete ideas, practical solutions and specific topics and putting them into perspective, and so creating a true network of ideas for readers. A must read, this book is vibrant proof of the power of sharing, collaboration and coopetition, helping the legal profession to shape its digital future and revitalize its relevance while retaining a focus on the human lawyer.
