We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
Even other firms like Kco and CAM have innovation teams that don't really build their own solutions. If you're genuinely interested in building something in the legaltech space, joining a startup is probably your best bet.
Knowing your way around AI tools like Claude Code is another thing tho – I think every lawyer, not even specifically TMT ones, should be dabbling in this and try to automate their work as much as possible; because if you don't, the guy next to you will and he'll be able to do significantly more work than you.
Also, would it be advisable to combine a LegalTech focus with a TMT practice, similar to the model followed by teams such as Nikhil Narendran's at Trilegal? Do you see long-term growth and opportunities in this intersection of technology law and legal innovation?
Would love to hear your thoughts.
