I spoke with Lutz-Christian Wolff, Steven Gallagher, and Joyce Wong, the dean, associate dean for teaching and learning, and faculty secretary, respectively, at the Faculty of Law at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. We discussed the university’s approach to legal education, how its professors have altered their teaching styles and methods to adapt to distance learning, evaluating student performance remotely, and which elements of the new model of education will become permanent.
I spoke with Jerry Ting, the CEO and co-founder of Evisort, an AI-powered contract analysis system. We discussed the genesis of Evisort and its recent $15 million investment, advice for legal tech entrepreneurs seeking investors in 2020, how investors should evaluate early-stage, pre-revenue companies in legal, ways that hopeful entrepreneurs could carve out their niche, and where legal tech is headed.
I spoke with Emily Hostage, a vice president at Burford Capital, a publicly-traded litigation finance company. We discussed how litigation finance differs from other forms of capital, the advantages, the difference between how a law firm and a corporate legal department uses litigation finance, ways to evaluate litigation risk, and where the litigation finance market is headed.
I spoke with Ronny Loew, the National Sales Director for ProCirrus Technologies, a cloud-hosting provider of end-to-end IT services for law firms. We discussed why law firms are embracing the cloud, how they can ensure the safety of their client data during a migration, ways to evaluate cloud vendors, and where cloud adoption is headed.
