May 4th, 2018 → 7:01 am @ Ari Kaplan

I spoke with Chris Kave, the founder of Aurora North Software, a software and services provider delivering IP solutions and Intapp products for law firms.

We discussed the genesis of Aurora North Software, why patent and trademark prosecution has become so important in the current economic climate, how the company is building automation into its processes, useful analytics organizations can generate by tracking patent and trademark prosecution, and what law firms should evaluate to determine whether their current prosecution processes are sufficient.

April 20th, 2018 → 7:26 am @ Ari Kaplan

I spoke with Shmuli Goldberg, the vice president of marketing for LawGeex, an artificial intelligence tool for contract review automation.

We discussed how LawGeex works, its recent research study – AI vs. Lawyers – comparing the performance of its technology with 20 human reviewers, how the perception and acceptance of automation has changed, whether an AI tool can mimic the talent, experience, and judgment of a practicing lawyer, and if lawyers are still relevant.

Simplifying the Law for Business

June 16th, 2015 → 9:49 am @ Ari Kaplan

I spoke with Annie Webber, the co-founder and CEO of Legal Hero, a platform that delivers legal services to businesses on a fixed price basis. Prior to founding Legal Hero, she worked as an M&A attorney at Ropes & Gray in Boston.

We discussed the genesis of Legal Hero and how it works. Webber highlighted that as individuals become more comfortable with distributed labor models like Uber and clients continue to demand fixed prices on limited budgets, there are opportunities for ventures like Legal Hero, which reinvents the traditional legal services model and automates invoicing or document creation to empower many businesses.
