LOD is one of the original alternative legal services providers, so of course I wanted to have them on the podcast! But where to start with one of the world’s largest and fastest growing legal, risk & compliance services businesses? 

I decided to start local and stick with Australia and to focus on an aspect that surprisingly we haven’t touched on much yet – technology! 

I’m joined by both Amanda Fajerman and Claire Vines, two of LOD’s superstar employees. Officially, Amanda is Head of Legal Technology and Claire is Head of Research and Development, but they team up to provide a whole new level of greatness! 

I was in my element talking tech, workflow and automation with these ladies. We unpack the buzzwords around technology (what really is AI?) and answer those all important questions, like whether our jobs will be replaced by robots!
