It's that time of year once again … LegalWeek!    ALM's LegalWeek is one week where thousands of legal professionals gather to network with their peers, dive deeper into their professional development, explore topics and strategies tailored specifically to their role, and gain the tools to get legal business done.  The LegalSpeak show has now become a regular staple at the conference as we talk to some of the leading legal minds across the industry.  In this episode, Alaina sits down with Basha Rubin, CEO and Co-Founder of Priori.

In October 2020, legal industry veterans Joe Borstein and Paul Stroka set out to change the legal tech sales paradigm by founding LexFusion as a go-to-market representative of a curated collection of companies across major categories of legal technology. As the company nears its third anniversary, Borstein joins LawNext to reflect on its successes and failures and to share where it is today. In addition, Borstein shares his perspective on the recent acquisition of Casetext by legal tech behemoth Thomson Reuters for $650 million in cash. As it happens, not only was Casetext one of the companies that LexFusion represented, but Borstein is a former executive of Thomson Reuters, where he worked as global director of Thomson Reuters Legal Managed Services (the former Pangea3).  Given that the Casetext deal was driven by its development of CoCounsel, an AI legal assistant powered by GPT-4 and developed in cooperation with GPT's developer OpenAI, Borstein also offers his views on the impact he sees generative AI having on the legal industry broadly and on the conversations he is having with law firm and corporate legal leaders.   This is Borstein's fourth appearance on LawNext. His previous episodes were: On LawNext Podcast: LexFusion's Joe Borstein and Casey Flaherty on the 2022 Legal Market in Review. On LawNext: Joe Borstein and Basha Rubin on the Launch of LexFusion. LawNext Episode 38: EY's Purchase of Pangea3, with Pangea3's Joe Borstein and Ed Sohn.   Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

Law is a Customer Service Business: Nicole chats with Basha Rubin, CEO and Co-Founder of Priori Legal. Technology is changing access to legal services: Priori is working to remove aspects of finding and working with lawyers that impede efficiency. How did you come up with the idea for Priori: We felt a marketplace solution would help businesses: identify high quality lawyers, understand pricing, get a transparent look at what their purchasing; while using technology to make managing the relationship easier. Clients’ value that Priori seriously vets their lawyers: Improving on the legwork businesses typically do themselves; they set mandatory minimum requirements; vetting is done by people who are expert at vetting lawyers; as are reference checks; and face-to-face interviews. Lawyers value the business acquisition channel: Unlike other services – no bidding is involved. Lawyers get ‘pinged’ when a client is looking for services tailored to their experience, background and practice. Priori handles billing, invoicing and collection. People network superficially: Basha suggests small networking groups where you become friends with peers is better than attending 30 cocktail parties in a month. Advice to those starting out: Keep at it – you’ll feel you’re running hard and not making progress then you’ll have of breakthrough – it’s all about tenacity.
