Podcast appearances and mentions of casey flaherty

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.

Over the course of 2022, the principals of LexFusion conferred with 435 law departments and 250 law firms. Why? Simply put, because that is what the company does. It is a go-to-market company that defines its purpose as “to grease the gears of commerce and rapidly increase the adoption of legal innovation.” On behalf of a group of curated legal innovation companies, it works with legal departments and law firms to help them understand how innovative products can benefit them.  As a result of those conversations, they came out of 2022 with a unique perspective on the legal market. In a recent post at the Legal Evolution blog, they discussed their take-aways from those conversations and shared some of what they have been telling law departments and lawyers.  “We executed NDAs with multiple law departments and law firms so we could dig beneath surface-level discussions of practical innovation into the painful realities of budgets and politics,” they wrote. “We uncovered far more chronic pain than even we anticipated.” What was the source of that chronic pain and what advice did LexFusion offer? In this episode of LawNext, two of the cofounders of LexFusion, Joseph Borstein, CEO, and Casey Flaherty, chief strategy officer, join host Bob Ambrogi to discuss the year that just ended and what it portends for the year ahead.    Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

Other guests in the series include Casey Flaherty of LexFusion and Jen Lenander of CSL Behring.

In this fourth episode of DISCO's Just Hearsay podcast series, Jen Lenander, Global Head of Legal Operations for CSL Behring, is our guest. Lenander has a long history of working at the intersection of legal, technology and innovation to help law firms and lawyers work smarter, not harder. Just Hearsay hosts Kristin Zmrhal, DISCO Vice President of Product Strategy, and Katie DeBord, Vice President of Product Strategy at DISCO, discuss what it's like to get the LegalOps process under control, how to create end-to-end solutions with technology such as contract lifecycle management, and what it takes to get lawyers to change the mind about the tech they use.   Just Hearsay is a podcast series sponsored by DISCO. In the first two episodes, Zmrhal and DeBord spoke about career development and what led them on the road to legal technology. In the third episode, Zmrhal spoke to Casey Flaherty of LexFusion about the importance of community and collaboration in the legal tech space.

In this third episode of DISCO's Just Hearsay podcast series, legal industry innovator Casey Flaherty is our guest. Casey is the co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of LexFusion, a go-to-market collective of leading innovation companies. Just Hearsay hosts Andrew Shimek, Chief Revenue Office at DISCO, and Kristin Zmrhal, DISCO Vice President of Product Strategy, speak to Casey on the importance of community and collaboration to legal innovation, and share insights for any team wanting to fully embrace technology to deliver better legal outcomes.  Just Hearsay is a podcast series sponsored by DISCO. In the first two episodes, Shimek and Zmrhal were joined by Katie DeBord, former Global Chief Innovation Officer at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner.

Casey Flaherty is well known in the world of legal innovation. His career journey has taken him to nearly every corner of the legal system. Casey has been a Big Law litigator, in-house counsel at a Global 500 company, a legal operations consultant, and architect of the legal project management team with the world's largest law firm. Today he is co-founder and chief strategy officer at LexFusion, a collaborative circle of handpicked, truly excellent legal innovation companies. In Casey's role, he focuses on the consultative aspects of the company's go-to-market operation, with an emphasis on market listening, thought leadership, and community-building. Listen to our discussion to learn why market listening is so critical to LexFusion's value proposition, how the challenges around the acquisition of technology can cause people and companies to resign themselves to the status quo, and more about Casey's current project—a maturity model of transactions that firms can use as self-assessment.

In this episode Nino speaks to an old friend Casey Flaherty, Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer at LexFusion. Casey shares his thoughts on why in-house lawyers and outside counsel are more similar than they think. He also talks about his passion for solving the fundamental problem of delivering legal expertise at scale and pace. Nino and Casey also discuss how a 'savings-centric' approach is counterproductive to the legal department adding value to the business. Instead legal teams should focus on how they can spend funds better.

One of the things we love to talk about on this podcast is how to take data and make it tell a story. This week's guests are doing just that on the topic of Community Policing and making sure that there is equal coverage for both the Community part, as well as the Policing part. Ama Romaine, co-founder and Chair, and Wayne Harris, Executive Director of The Initiative: Advancing the Blue and Black Partnership, join us to describe how they are taking quantitative and qualitative data from both communities and the police agencies to identify the current relationship between them, and how they are aligned and misaligned when it comes to community policing. "The conversation about [community] policing... really needs to get to where we recognize that we're in this together. That there's very little separation between the men and women wearing a police uniform, and the people that they're there working with." - Wayne Harris "What we are really trying to do is give voice to individuals in their communities and create a way for local leaders, for police leaders, for anyone, really, to be able to understand what a community needs. And then let's focus on creating and providing those needs for that community. That's what's going to create thriving communities in the end and, frankly, reduce the need for law enforcement to solve every single problem that we have." - Ama Romaine Links: The Blue & Black Partnership's website CentralPlus (8 Minute Community Survey) Consent Decree data Information Inspirations: Our fellow geek, Casey Flaherty talks about his recent blog post series with Chad Main of the Technically Legal Podcast.

Casey Flaherty, Chief Strategy Officer for Lex Fusion, makes his second appearance on Technically Legal. This time around, Casey discusses his thesis that organizations often turn to technology as an avoidance mechanism for addressing issues with process and culture. Casey has deep experience with legal process from all angles, he started his career as a commercial litigator before moving in house at Kia Motors. From there he launched a legal operations consultancy and started Procertas, a technology training and benchmarking platform. Since Casey was last on the podcast, he has taken on a couple of other roles. He served as Director of Legal Project Management for one of the world's largest law firms, Baker Mackenzie, and recently took on his current role at Lex Fusion. Casey talks about his legal industry experience, his writing process and explains why it is not a good idea to implement technology before taking a step back to map processes and making sure organizational culture supports change.

Casey Flaherty is our guest on this episode of Paralegals on Fire! Podcast show. Casey is a lawyer who is more of a “lawyer innovator.” For years, he's been trying to bring innovation into an industry that's not really known for being ahead of its time. Casey started his career as a litigator at a big law firm, and then went in-house to Kia motors. And it was that work that led him to develop the legal technology assessment tool. The LTA helps legal professionals identify and address gaps in their basic office technologies, gaps that most people don't even know they have until they take the assessment. Recently, he left baker McKenzie's project management team (Casey is also a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt) to be a co-founder of Lex Fusion, where they are accelerating the legal industry's adoption of technology and innovation. Show Highlights How to leverage your expertise through process and technology Most legal professionals don't utilize the full capabilities of Microsoft Word, Excel, and Adobe Why paralegal schools and law schools should consider adding more technology courses What happens when you work for the old-school attorney who wants everything in paper Get access to the Legal Technology Assessment Tool that Casey and Ann talked about so that you can be at the top of your technology skills. The 3-Step Plan helps you get up to speed fast when you're taking over new cases (and for new litigation paralegals who want to proactively manage their cases from the start).

Ironclad's Chief Community Officer, Mary O'Carroll, has spent the past two decades bringing business acumen to the legal industry. In an industry run by lawyers, most of whom had little to no business training, Mary points out that it is logical that legal ops teams are needed to be the right-hand people in helping lawyers in the business process. Her experience with Orrick, Google, CLOC, and now Ironclad has one common thread, and that is the need to drive change. Mary says that it is just a part of her personality to be laser-focused on efficiency and find ways to clean up the mess she uncovers in the legal industry. It is that desire to drive change through the use of the legal community that helped her make the decision to join Ironclad and the hot field of Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM). Mary points out that the industry has worked to improve efficiency in many areas, but when it comes to contracts, we are continuing to do business as usual. Creating a digital contracting system will help scale the industry, as well as enable us to leverage data, which has always been trapped in contracts, and create new methods for the legal department to help drive the overall success of the business, and no longer be seen as a department where ideas and innovation go to die. Information Inspirations Our own Casey Flaherty advises us to stop trying to be a hero, and learn to say no when it comes to spreading resources too thin. Check out his latest article, "Maybe, Don't Be MacGyver – The Value of Value Storytelling." Singapore is launching a couple of Dalek-looking robots to monitor "undesirable behavior" among its citizens. Is this a logical use of technology or a slippery slope toward technology overreach? O'Melveny and Myers is the first law firm to join Peloton's Corporate Wellness Program. The next time you go through a drive-thru, you may hear the crisp, clear voice of an AI program taking your order. Will the robots take more and more of the service jobs away, and will there be a shift in the way the government taxes those robot workers who replace humans?

Over the past year, many of us have said "I guess all law firms are virtual law firms now." While that may technically be true, there are many firms whose business model is based on being a virtual firm. Dan Packel from The American Lawyer gives us a primer on Distributed Law Firms like Fisher Broyles, Ramon, Taylor English and Duma, and Culhane Meadows and how they operate without a physical environment. While many of these firms may fly below the radar for many biglaw firms, distributed firms like Fisher Broyles may be poised to break into the AmLaw 200. And if that happens, and it might happen this year, many big firms will start to take notice. Information Inspirations While we don't want you to replace us as your favorite podcast, we do think that Stephen Poor's new podcast from Seyfarth, Pioneer and Pathfinders, provides some good sit-down discussions with legal innovators like Dr. Heidi Gardner, Dan Linna, Nicole Bradick, and more to come. Go check it out. There are only eleven states now which do not require lawyers to have a competence level when it comes to legal technology. California is the latest to make such a requirement. Our fellow geek, Casey Flaherty is the last of the Baker McKenzie dream team to finally leave Baker and go back into the legal innovation consulting world. Casey is now the Chief Strategy Officer at LexFusion and is bringing his talent back into the open legal market to help legal departments and law firms implement technology to improve overall legal processes. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly brings us a new blockchain sheriff in Texas. The Texas Blockchain Council is a nonprofit trade association with the objective to make Texas the center of the universe for blockchain technology.

In this episode of Law Technology Now from Legalweek 2019, host Dan Linna speaks to Casey Flaherty about what it means to be the director of legal project management and if the community has been successful. They discuss relationships inside a law firm and whether attorneys should be coached and mentored to improve the community. They also talk about if project management helps solve proper allocation in work and diversity with law firms. Casey Flaherty is the director of legal project management at Baker McKenzie. Special thanks to our sponsor, Thomson Reuters.

In January, the world’s largest law firm, Baker McKenzie, announced that it had hired two leading thinkers on legal innovation, Jae Um and D. Casey Flaherty, to help the firm “enhance and reimagine the delivery of legal services to global clients.” They join a team led by David Cambria, who last year left Fortune 50 company Archer Daniels Midland to become the firm’s global director of legal operations. On this episode of LawNext, Um and Flaherty join host Bob Ambrogi to discuss their new roles and share their thoughts on innovation at Baker McKenzie and in the delivery of legal services.   Um, who joined Baker McKenzie as director of pricing strategy, has more than 12 years of cross-functional experience in legal business. Most recently, she was founder and executive director of Six Parsecs, a company that applied research rigor, business analytics and storytelling to help legal businesses achieve success. Before that, she was at the law firm Seyfarth Shaw, where she was director of strategic planning and analysis and, earlier, director of special projects. She is a regular contributor to the publication Legal Evolution. Flaherty, who joined Baker McKenzie as director of legal project management, first rose to prominence while corporate counsel at Kia Motors for creating the Legal Tech Audit, a competency-based learning platform focused on the core technology tools of legal practice, and later the Service Delivery Review, using metrics and benchmarking to drive structured dialogue and continuous improvement between law departments and outside counsel. Based on these concepts, he founded Procertas, providing technology training and benchmarking to law firms, law schools, and other organizations. NEW: We are now on Patreon!

On our 25th episode of The Geek In Review, Marlene Gebauer and Greg Lambert sit down and talk with Ivy Grey, Director of Business Strategy for WordRake. Ivy's recent Above the Law article, “Curiosity Is The Foundation For Innovation” discusses the disconnect between employers who think they promote creativity in their employees, versus employees who think that their bosses actually stifle creativity in the workplace. Ivy breaks down the nuances between creativity and innovation. Ivy points to law firms like Reed Smith, who are actually giving their attorneys and others (approved) time to come up with creative processes, and letting the employees build upon these ideas. The key is to allow people to think and be creative, and imagine possibilities that don't even exist. On that note, we'd like to point out that Baker McKenzie announced the hiring of a couple of creative and curious rock stars, fellow geek, Casey Flaherty as their new Director of Legal Project Management, and Geek in Review interviewee Jae Um, as their Director of Pricing Strategy. Hope they are ready for long memos filled with emojis! Greg flew through Dallas Love Field this week during a Herb Kelleher celebration. Southwest's original CEO was well known for creative marketing, and Greg was a little disappointed that he didn't get a free bottle of Chivas when we got off the plane. For a great story of how Southwest got its start, check out the Business War's Podcast on Clearing the Runway. Information Inspirations Microsoft Assistant General Counsel, Jason Barnwell, wrote a timely piece called "Bricklayers and Architects." His own experiences on being able to come up with a creative process to streamline and M&A deal back when he was an associate at a BigLaw firm, dovetails nicely with Ivy Grey's discussion. That great idea which would have saved a lot of time in creating the closing binders??? Stifled. Why? The billable hour. We are all way too familiar with the phrase Fake News, but what do you know about Deepfakes? Pew Research discusses how well fake videos, created with artificial intelligence, are causing issues with understanding what is real, and what is fake. Check out more at "Looks Can Be Deceiving: Deepfakes" on the Pew podcast. Marlene likes gamification ideas, so the collaboration between Stanford and Suffolk law schools on the Learned Hand game is right up her alley. It's not just a game, however, it is used to train the Natural Language Processor of machine learning algorithms. Read more at the Pew Research website, or at the Lawyerist.

For Episode 6, we sat down with D. Casey Flaherty at the Legal Tech conference in New York City.  Casey talked about a few things: how many lawyers struggle to master everyday technology, his experience as corporate counsel and the efforts he took in that role to improve the way company lawyers did their jobs. But, a good chunk of the conversation focused on Casey's belief that inefficiencies in legal service delivery will not change until clients demand change.   In this episode, we also talk to Haley Altman, the founder of Doxly.  A legal transaction management platform used by transactional and M&A lawyers to stay organized when they are working on and closing deals. Technically Legal is hosted by Chad Main, an attorney and the founder of Percipient, a tech-enabled alternative legal services provider.

Your firm has finally invested in new technology but that’s only half the battle. In order to actually save time and energy, you need to train your firm's employees to use the technology correctly, whether it's Microsoft Office, Adobe, or even an internal software service. In this episode of On Balance, hosts JoAnn Hathaway and Tish Vincent talk to Casey Flaherty about why investing in proper training is an essential part of investing in new technology. Casey recalls his own experiences working with firms’ adoption and productivity problems and discusses what beneficial training actually looks like in practice. Casey Flaherty is well-known for creating the Legal Technology Audit (LTA), a test of basic technological proficiency for lawyers and in-house corporate departments.

Procertas (Professional Certifications and Technology Assessments) offers training on vital, but often dismissed skills such as Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Excel, and other common office technologies. In Law Firms, Doctor's offices, and other professional firms, you'd be surprised at how much productivity can be improved when you train your staff on these basic programs. Procertas' flagship product is the Legal Technology Assessment or LTA. The LTA, is a first of its kind to integrate benchmarking, training platform pairing and competence-based assessments with synchronized, active learning in a live environment. Once a client completes the course, they become COBOT Qualified (Certified Operator of Basic Office Technology). Casey Flaherty, founder of Procertas, discusses the importance of legal professionals to be fluent in the tools of their trade and how the LTA benchmark assessment and training program can be used for marketing, professional development, team assembly, on-boarding, provider differentiation, rate negotiation, etc. Casey reveals how important it is that legal professionals are getting the training they need in this ever-changing, competitive market.

When addressing how resistant lawyers are to new technology, many people believe that the issue is simply generational and that millennial attorneys will fill that void. In this report from On The Road, host Joe Patrice speaks with Procertas founder Casey Flaherty and principal attorney Darth Vaughn about lawyer proficiency with currently available technology and the often overlooked skills gap present within the legal industry.

Legal Talk Network Producer Laurence Colletti interviews Casey Flaherty about his Plenary Session at the 2015 ABA TECHSHOW in Chicago. Flaherty, an Austin-based lawyer, is well-known for creating the Legal Technology Audit (LTA), a test of basic technological proficiency for lawyers and in-house corporate departments. In the interview, he discusses his path to creating the LTA, the ethical minimum of technological knowledge for lawyers, and why this is important for lawyers and clients.

40% of small law firms don’t have a website, and Casey Flaherty’s Legal Tech Auditwas just the beginning of his quest to reform the way law firms use technology and price their services.

Legal Talk Network producer Laurence Colletti interviews Casey Flaherty, a speaker in two events at the LegalTech West Coast conference. The events included discussions about facilitating discovery, maintaining good rapport during government investigations, and how to begin working with regulatory bodies. Flaherty examines how technology can help smaller law firms compete and client billing perspective. Casey Flaherty, corporate council for Kia Motors, developed a basic technology competency audit for law firms and has appeared on several Legal Talk Network podcasts.

On this episode Craig talks with Casey Flaherty about his law firm audit that is turning heads around the country. http://legalleaderspodcast.com/

Casey Flaherty, corporate counsel at Kia Motors America, has gotten a lot of attention recently with a basic technology competency audit he administers to outside law firms and the failing grades lawyers at those firms have received. There has always been an ongoing conversation of what basic technology skills lawyers need. The ABA's Ethics 2020 recommendation that a basic knowledge of common software techniques be a part of the definition of “competence,” has also shined the spotlight on this issue. In this episode of The Kennedy-Mighell Report, Dennis Kennedy and Tom Mighell discuss Flaherty's technology audit approach, the responses it has prompted, and how this may or may not change the ways lawyers deal with technology skills. The second half of the episode will cover Apple's much-rumored “iWatch” and the future of watch technology.
