    As the CEO and Co-founder of Clio and a pioneer in cloud-based legal technology, Jack Newton has spearheaded efforts to educate the legal community on the security, ethics, and privacy issues surrounding cloud computing, and has become a nationally recognized author and speaker on these topics. He co-founded and is President of the Legal Cloud Computing Association (LCCA), a consortium of leading cloud computing providers with a mandate to help accelerate the adoption of cloud computing in the legal industry, and is the author of The Client-Centered Law Firm, a bestseller that's helping law firms thrive in today's experience-driven era. Jack joined #LegalTechLIVE​ to provide his experience as a #startup​ founder and CEO. The conversation covered an extensive amount of information for founders from early stage onwards. We covered the origin story of Clio, the two years of difficulties while they struggled to find funding during an economic recession. How getting the first million is far more difficult than getting $250 million in investment. Finally, we wrapped up with Jack's description of the latent legal market and the opportunities for more companies in the #legaltech​ space. Tune in to check out the episode hosted by Nick Rishwain.

  • Federico Pomi and Daniel Rollingher of NFT Real Estate Startup Fabrica.land - LegalTechLIVE - 108

    We envision a new era where buying your house, refinancing your mortgage or running your real estate business will be powered by technology instead of paperwork and rubber stamps. As it happened in other industries, software will give us more freedom by unlocking full control and flexibility of what we own. This is what Federico Pomi, CEO of Fabrica, and Legal Counsel, Daniel Rollingher joined us to discuss. At present, they are focusing on transferring real property where title is held in a trust. The trust is then transferred via #blockchain​ in the form of an #NFT​. Currently, Fabrica is working on proving the concept... proving that property ownership can be successfully transacted in this fashion. Lawyers and #legaltech​ communities need to pay attention. This can be done and is being done. Right now, it's being done with vacant land. But it is showing promise! This episode co-hosted by LexDAO member, James McCall for his first repeat appearance.

  • Florentina & Jacob Field CoFounders of Litigation Productivity Startup Prelimine - LTL Episode 107
    Prelimine has created a drafting and editing tool specifically for litigators! LitKit automates tasks that waste litigators' time when drafting briefs and other legal documents so they can focus on substance rather than form. With Prelimine's LitKit, litigators can stop wasting time on redaction, citation, and formatting issues that are regular pain points for lawyers and paralegals, especially at crunch-time when that deadline is rapidly approaching. Another great aspect of this interview, is we finally got the episode where the tool was born out of necessity with the COVID-19 pandemic acting as the catalyst. After working from home in the middle of the pandemic, Jacob was able to see the headaches his litigator-wife, Florentina, was experiencing trying to format legal documents. He had a built in user to immediately test what he was developing! In this episode, recent guest Kristin Hodgins, joined us again as a co-host. Coming from her experience on the buy-side of #legaltech​, she had some really great questions and feedback for these #startup​ founders.

  • Chris Draper Managing Director of File Security Startup Trokt.com - LegaltechLIVE - Episode 105
    Trokt stores Thumbprints of sensitive documents in its distributed network. A thumbprint is a #cryptographic​ hash number that determines a documents authenticity, at the time you applied the hash number. Demonstrating that a file's Thumbprint is held in Trokt's network proves – in nearly any court – that the file has not been modified in any way since the date and time it appeared in the Trokt network. Every file that can be instantly proven valid – or invalid – by Trokt reduces the need for costly forensic analyses. Storing file Thumbprints for rapid validation reduces the time and cost of compliance audits or incident response and forensics efforts. All Trokt file Thumbprinting processes occur on the machines that hold the sensitive files. No sensitive file is opened or held by Trokt. The only data that is sent to Trokt about a sensitive file is the irreversible file Thumbprint. Chris Draper is also a regular host on Clubhouse, where he has done a wonderful job of creating wide-ranging conversations on #legaltech​, justice, and access to #justice​ issues. He's built quite the diverse community on Clubhouse discussing pressing issues where law and technology intersect in our world.
