When I graduated from law school in the late 1980s, there was no internet, no email, and fax machines were widely in use. I used a Dictaphone to generate correspondence and had an assistant to transcribe the tapes. While working remotely was possible because of the telephone, going into an office was the norm. In the intervening years, the rate of technological change has been truly astounding. And while the internet, email, and social media have continued that evolution, in my opinion, the explosion of AI in the practice of law has been the most significant change in my lifetime. Never before has it been easier to run a practice as a solo. The array of tools for research, communication, analysis, and drafting are replacing human labor. I've always been interested in technology and while I do try to keep up, technology is not my major. So I've invited Colin Levy to talk about the state of the art in legal tech in the practice of law. Colin S. Levy is a lawyer and legal tech author and speaker. Throughout his career, Colin has seen technology as a key driver in improving how legal services are performed. Because his career has spanned industries, he witnessed myriad issues, from a systemic lack of interest in technology to the high cost of legal services barring entry to consumers. Now, his mission is to bridge the gap between the tech world and the legal world, advocating for the ways technology can be a useful tool for the lawyer's tool belt rather than a fear-inducing obstacle to effective legal work. Colin is the author of The Legal Tech Ecosystem which discusses the development of the legal tech ecosystem over the past two decades, and how legal technology can help lawyers work more efficiently. In addition, he is the editor of the Handbook of Legal Tech. A few years ago, I began seeing Colin come up a lot more in my LinkedIn feed and I realized that is was time to sit down with him and pick his brain! In this episode we discuss his overall philosophy about the use of technology in the law, his book, the Legal Tech Ecosystem, the biggest obstacles the legal industry faces when it comes to adopting new technology, and his role at Malbek.

Technology has quickly become a topic that touches everything in the legal world. You can't escape it. While learning to embrace the latest in legal tech is vital to the success of your firm, it doesn't have to be overwhelming. We're talking on this episode about how today's emerging tech trends impact every aspect of your law firm – from client acquisition, to producing results, to generating profit – with guest Colin Levy, an author, speaker, and leader in the world of legal tech. But just buying a tech package won't deliver value. Incorporating today's new tech tools, understanding how they work, and truly understanding them (and then actually using them) is what drives value. Take the time to understand what you need, what problems you're solving, then seek out the tech that actually gets you to your destination. Things are changing, and the rate of acceleration is accelerating, and we're just getting started. Imagine AI drives the pace of change even faster.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner who is looking to integrate more technology in your firm? In this podcast episode, Jim and Tyson discuss legal tech with Colin Levy, a lawyer and legal tech expert as they explore the role of artificial intelligence in law.Colin provides his thoughts on practical tools that law firms can use to become more efficient. One of these tools is Clio. which is a practice management software that is accessible, easy to set up and is great when it comes to the learning curve. This means it is easy to teach first timers. Other tools like Joseph and Brighter (which are code and no code tools) are a bit more advanced and allow users to set up workflows for their teams. Time is money, so these tools are great to get things moving quickly!Colin shares how many law firms are resistant to using technology and AI because of the misconception that it is expensive and time consuming. The biggest fear many lawyers have is using technology that will give them incorrect information and make their job harder. Most choose to stay within their comfort zone and use tools or methods of working that are not that efficient. AI and technology can help any business grow and innovate the way things are done.Jim, Tyson and Colin talk through the ideal tech package that firms need if they are just starting out. Clio is great for administrative tasks like invoicing and billing, which is such a crucial part of any business and a good, reliable tool is needed to ensure things are kept in order. Having a tool to streamline intake forms or feedback forms is important so they are collected, received and actioned out to whoever needs to work on it. Another tool is some sort of project management tool that shows workflows, what needs to be focused on or what needs attention.Listen in to learn more from Colin!6:10 Accessible tools like Clio16:01 The fear of technology in the legal field18:16 Recommended tools for new law firmsJim's Hack: Read the book called “Extremely Online” by Taylor Lorenz, which talks about the history of different social media channels.Colin's Tip: Take time for yourself as the world moves very quickly.

In this week's episode, host Sigalle Barness speaks with Colin Levy, Director of Legal at Malbek, a contract lifecycle management program that provides lifecycle AI functionality to improve an organization's contracting process. Colin shares his lawyer origin story of struggling to find work after law school in 2010 and piecing together temporary roles, as well as the lack of technology use he noticed in law. A failed attempt at implementing a contract management system at his first in-house role showed Colin the importance of understanding people's needs and processes before implementing tech. He shares how this experience led him to realize effective solutions require aligning people, process, and technology. At Malbek, Colin handles legal work but also serves as an evangelist, assisting with marketing, sales, content creation, and community building. He explains how AI like Malbek's helps attorneys work more efficiently and how sharing what he learn with others has helped Colin connect and educate the legal community.

This week on The Geek in Review podcast Marlene Gebauer and Greg Lambert featured guests Colin Levy, Ashley Carlisle, and Dorna Moini discussing Levy's recently published book "Handbook of Legal Tech." Levy edited the book and contributors included Moini, Carlisle's CEO, Tony Thai, and many more legal technology experts. The book provides an overview of key technologies transforming the legal industry like automation, AI, blockchain, document automation, CLM, and more. Levy shared how he ended up editing the book, describing it as "herding cats" to get busy experts to contribute chapters. He wanted the book to serve as a comprehensive introduction to legal tech, with each chapter written by leaders in the various subject matter areas. Carlisle and Moini explained their motivations for taking time out of their demanding schedules to write chapters - spreading knowledge to help move the industry forward and impart insights from their work. The guests reflected on their favorite parts of the experience. Levy enjoyed bringing together the community and seeing different perspectives. Carlisle appreciated being able to consolidate information on contract lifecycle management. Moini was proud to contribute right before having a baby. Lambert highlighted Levy juggling this book and writing his own solo book on legal tech stories from the front lines. The guests offered advice to law students and lawyers looking to learn about and leverage legal tech. Carlisle emphasized starting with an open mind, intentional research, and reading widely from legal tech thought leaders. Moini recommended thinking big but starting small with iterative implementation. Levy stressed knowing your purpose and motivations to stay focused amidst the vast array of options. Lambert prompted the guests to identify low-hanging fruit legal technologies those new to practice should focus on. Levy pointed to document automation and AI. Moini noted that intake and forms digitization can be a first step for laggards. Carlisle advised starting small with discrete tasks before tackling advanced tools. For their forward-looking predictions, Carlisle saw AI hype fading but increasing tech literacy, Levy predicted growing focus on use and analysis of data as AI advances, and Moini forecasted a rise in online legal service delivery. The guests are excited about spreading awareness through the book to help transform the legal industry.
In this episode, Steve Fretzin, Charlie Uniman, Colin Levy, and Maya Markovich discuss:Best questions to ask a legal tech vendor. Choosing the right tech choice, not just the impulsive decision. Looking for bottlenecks in your firm's day-to-day productions and bringing your team into the changes. Pros and cons of working with early stage legal tech startup firms. Budgeting for legal tech. Key Takeaways:While you should ask questions about data security and customer support, you want to tailor your questions to what solution you are looking for. Involve your team in the tech choices from the beginning. They are the ones who are going to be using it and you want to make sure it is the right fit for them. Depending on your practice area, there may be different tech needs. However, all firms should look into good operations technology to help their firm run most efficiently. Look at the use of the tools and what your needs are before setting your budget. "Once you're comfortable with the tech you're using, don't be ashamed of it. Tell your clients about it, let them know that you're tech forward, and let them know how they can benefit from your use of the tech." — Charlie Uniman Get a free copy of Steve's book “Sales-Free Selling” here: www.fretzin.com/sales-free-selling Thank you to our Sponsors!Get Staffed Up: https://getstaffedup.com/bethatlawyer/Overture: https://overture.law/Get Visible: https://www.getvisible.com/ Connect with Charlie Uniman: Website: www.legaltechstartupfocus.com Email: Charlie@LegalTechStartUpFocus.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-uniman-2316b83/ Connect with Colin Levy: Website: https://www.colinslevy.com/Website: https://www.malbek.io/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/colinslevy/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Clevy_LawFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/clevylaw Connect with Maya Markovich: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mayamarkovichTwitter: https://twitter.com/MarkovichMayaWebsite: https://vilcap.com/Website: https://justicetechassociation.org/ Connect with Steve Fretzin:LinkedIn: Steve FretzinTwitter: @stevefretzinInstagram: @fretzinsteveFacebook: Fretzin, Inc.Website: Fretzin.comEmail: Steve@Fretzin.comBook: Legal Business Development Isn't Rocket Science and more!YouTube: Steve FretzinCall Steve directly at 847-602-6911 Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin, Charlie Uniman, Colin Levy, and Maya Markovich discuss:The disconnect between legal tech and lawyers. Great online resources to stay ahead of legal tech. The AI impact on the legal tech industry. Best legal tech products for startups. Key Takeaways:To get over the hurdle of choosing tech and having people change the way they do business, make a good business case and make someone the champion for the change. Ask yourself why you want to learn about legal tech and let that drive what you look for to avoid getting overwhelmed with the amount of information out there. While prompting is currently a struggle for many with AI, it is not likely to remain a challenge for long as AI gets more intelligent. Some tech isn't marketed towards law, specifically, but can be a great tool for your law firm. Look at what is going to solve the problem you're having. "Change management is fundamentally misunderstood in the legal industry. On the brightside, firms are starting to ask about it, but there is a radical misconception as to what that entails and the value it can provide." — Maya Markovich Get a free copy of Steve's book “Sales-Free Selling” here: www.fretzin.com/sales-free-selling Thank you to our Sponsors!Get Staffed Up: https://getstaffedup.com/bethatlawyer/Overture: https://overture.law/Get Visible: https://www.getvisible.com/ Episode References: Legal Technology Hub - https://www.legaltechnologyhub.com/Lawrina: https://lawrina.org/ Connect with Charlie Uniman: Website: www.legaltechstartupfocus.com Email: Charlie@LegalTechStartUpFocus.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charles-uniman-2316b83/ Connect with Colin Levy: Website: https://www.colinslevy.com/Website: https://www.malbek.io/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/colinslevy/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Clevy_LawFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/clevylaw Connect with Maya Markovich: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mayamarkovichTwitter: https://twitter.com/MarkovichMayaWebsite: https://vilcap.com/Website: https://justicetechassociation.org/ Connect with Steve Fretzin:LinkedIn: Steve FretzinTwitter: @stevefretzinInstagram: @fretzinsteveFacebook: Fretzin, Inc.Website: Fretzin.comEmail: Steve@Fretzin.comBook: Legal Business Development Isn't Rocket Science and more!YouTube: Steve FretzinCall Steve directly at 847-602-6911 Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Colin also suggests identifying pain points in a lawyer's practice and considering how legal tech can address them. Colin S. Levy is a corporate lawyer and legal tech evangelist who has been practicing for over 12 years. Throughout his career, Colin has seen technology as a key driver in improving how legal services are performed. Because his career has spanned industries, he witnessed myriad issues, from a systemic lack of interest in technology to the high cost of legal services barring consumer entry. Now, his mission is to bridge the gap between the tech world and the legal world, advocating for how technology can be a valuable tool for the lawyer's toolbelt rather than a fear-inducing obstacle to effective legal work. Colin has also been driven to effectively empower, inform, and inspire others regarding law and legal services, tech, interdisciplinary collaboration, and process improvement.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Colin Levy discuss:The intersection of law and technology. ChatGPT and the applicable potential of AI.Benefits and drawbacks of social media platforms. Value-based social media content. Key Takeaways:Each social media platform is unique and offers different benefits and risks than the other platforms. Do your research before you dive into using all of them as that is unnecessary. Before you do anything else on LinkedIn, use the About Me section to tell your story. Be consistent regardless of which platform you choose to use. Do it with intention, start small, and hold to a regular consistent posting schedule. Give more than you take on social media. Be creative and demonstrate your authority, but also your authenticity, in your posts. "LinkedIn has really been the hero.

The legal operations community was barely nascent a decade ago. Now there is a booming LegalOps profession and a number of professional associations have sprouted up to help the community learn and collaborate. Legal Operators is one of those communities. We asked the founder of Legal Operators, Colin McCarthy, to come on the show and talk about why he took a small legal ops community that started with a few people doing TED-Talk style presentations over drinks, to a community of thousands. Legal Operators produces online learning programs, a list of legal operations software and services, job board, and an innovation hub in order to support the growing legal operations profession. Recently, Legal Operators created a magazine with the planned distribution in the tens of thousands. While this may seem outside of what you would think a technology-forward operations would do, McCarthy says he believes in doing the unexpected, and providing the best platform for the distribution of knowledge and information. Even if that means going "old-school" from time to time. Check out the online version of the Legal Operators Magazine here. In September, Legal Operators is hosting the Summit By the Sea at Half Moon Bay, California. The September 14-16, 2022 curated, in-person event is designed for 100 legal ops professionals to gather together and share in conversation, networking, and best practices exchanges. There are a few seats still available.

Colin Levy is a corporate lawyer, a legal tech evangelist and a regular commentator on all things legal tech and legal operations. His diverse experience has given him extensive exposure to the commercial contracting space, as a lawyer and also as a designer and implementer of contract management systems. For this episode we sat down with Colin to discuss the basics of contract lifecycle management (CLM), including: * What the phrase "contract lifecycle management" actually means * As an in-house lawyer, how you know you need a CLM tool and how to choose the right one * Considerations when implementing a CLM tool, including how to build a business case, which stakeholders to engage and how to improve your underlying contracting processes * The new features which are being added to CLM tools now and in the future * What the future holds for legal technology more generally LINKS Colin Levy on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/colinslevy/
How do you make a small budget seem large or few resources seem plentiful? That is what Ryan and Colin Levy discuss in this latest episode. Colin is no stranger to making an indie budget look like a Hollywood blockbuster. His short film, Skywatch stands shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the biggest films you've seen, all done with far fewer resources than you'd think.
How do we integrate new tech in a way that improves the experience for clients and makes it easier for you and your employees to serve your clients? Colin Levy is a legal technologist and former in-house attorney who explains how not all technology, even legal-specific tech, is appropriate for every practice. Tech can be a distraction and a roadblock to service if it's a bad fit or poorly integrated. We all get the lure of shiny objects--so we need to avoid that. Understanding your people and processes is the key to making the right choices about new technology. Also consider not just the monetary cost of a tool, but the time cost and learning curve involved in the setup and integration, which can be deceivingly costly and distracting to your practice. There's so much to think about and absorb here, and it's more relevant than ever, as firms continue to innovate and employ technology post-pandemic.

Colin Levy knew his strengths as an undergrad at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. He was only torn as to which interest he should pursue for his degree. He chose public policy with a concentration in economics over an English major. During his time at Trinity College, he determined he would follow his BA with a law degree, but not immediately. He took a year off and worked for a large New York law firm as a paralegal. There he received some first-hand legal experience and was introduced to technology as it applied to the law profession. When that year was over, he entered Boston College Law School. As law school began, he already knew he had no interest in being a litigator. His focus became transactions and contract law, and he aspired to work as an in-house counsel some time in his future. At the conclusion of his law studies, he had no job lined up, so he spent the following year exploring opportunities. Eventually he took a position at Update Legal, a startup, in Boston. There he did contract review and financial audits while he advanced in his knowledge of legal technology especially. He began to recognize a new interest in how computers could facilitate the work of legal professionals. He created a contract management and review tool in the year he was employed there. He moved on to a few brief stints as a compliance and contract attorney while he engaged his curiosity in the technology tools that were currently used in the field. The short duration positions he took moved Colin along from contracts administrator to contract counsel. In 2014 and 2015, he went to work with the Velcro Group. As a contract counsel there, he was able to improve contractual systems and revise existing templates. He maintained contractual records and assisted with corporate restructuring matters. He often worked across departments, and he provided training to other employees. He frequently did research as well. All in all, Colin experienced a broad spectrum of work that continued to refine his special interests, especially those involving applied technology. After a year off for some health issues, Colin returned to law and signed on at C&W Services as a temporary contract counsel during the summer of 2016. After this short term situation ended, he became the Manager of Contract Negotiations at Pearson Education where he was the sole in-house counsel. He found this to be a period of great growth experience where he gained many transferable skills to carry him into the future. In the summer of 2018, Colin moved on to be corporate counsel for Salary.com. For the next 2 years he was the strategic advisor to both the CEO and CFO concerning cyber security. During this time, he expanded his own brand which he had been working on for some years. He was becoming the “go to” person in the world of tech advice for legal professionals. In May of 2020, Colin spent some time as legal counsel for Lookout, a cyber security company. While there, he learned even more about security technology and enjoyed a supportive team. It was at this juncture that he really expanded his own brand. And what is that? Colin explains to Amy about his blog, his tweets and his all-important LinkedIn posts. As Amy notes, he's developed quite a following as he educates and inspires about legal technology. He has become an authority as he posts every day on a variety of legal tech topics. His interactive posts afford a great networking opportunity for all who engage with him on topics surrounding technology for legal professionals. Colin defines the subject of legal technology as a set of tools that allows attorneys to perform their work more effectively and efficiently. It encompasses a growing movement to push the legal industry into the 21st century. This past February, Colin became the Director of Marketing and Business Development at WordRake. This represented a big pivot for him as he is no longer an in-house counsel. Instead, he now spends his days immersed in the legal technology which has become his passion. He has managed to merge his personal brand with his professional work. At WordRake, they provide a product that is an add-on for Microsoft Word. It's an automated document editor, as you will hear Colin explain further. They help legal professionals produce documents with clarity and without complicated legal jargon. With his love of both technology and writing, Colin has found his niche. He shares with Amy and her listeners some of the lessons he's found valuable in his career journey. Perhaps he has some advice that will help you enhance your personal brand.

The Current State of Legal TechnologyColin Levy, Director of Marketing and Business Development at WordRake We recently sat down with Colin Levy to discuss legal technology and tools and their importance for law departments. We also discussed some of the benefits of contract management tools. Colin is currently the Director of Marketing and Business Development at WordRake and has worked heavily with contracts in his past roles where he focused on corporate transactions, which taught him a lot about contract management and how technology can assist in these efforts. What is Legal Technology?Legal technology, also known as legal tech, is all technology that law firms use to improve and streamline their processes as well as increase their effectiveness and efficiency. Note that some of these technologies help modern law teams better serve their clients by helping the law firm operate and render legal services more efficiently. Why Colin Focused on Legal Technology and Legal InnovationFor Colin, a lot of impetus and passion for his focus came from his experience. Before law school, he worked for a big firm as an IT paralegal creating litigation databases. So, he was using technology before law school. This is why he thought that he would surely learn about these concepts and tools in law school. However, unfortunately, he did not learn anything about these tools in law school. And he found that very disappointing. After graduating from law school, Colin was constantly astounded at how little technology was being used by lawyers. So, he wanted to learn about people who were changing this dynamic. These people were either developing technology for lawyers or teaching lawyers how to use technology. So, he started writing about his experiences talking to those people and interviewing them. And since then, he cannot get enough of it. He has been dedicated to inspiring and informing others about legal technology and legal innovation. Pandemic and Legal TechnologyNote that in many ways, the coronavirus pandemic has forced many lawyers and law firms to adapt to using some basic technologies. We are yet to determine the long-lasting impacts of this pandemic on the industry. Technology can be useful in making your life simpler, and it allows you to be more productive. However, it is worth noting that technology is not a panacea, and it will not solve every problem you may face. It is essential to start with your people and processes. You have to understand how people work in your organization and what their level of comfort with technology is. So, it is crucial to understand what your problems are before considering solutions. Technological Innovations and Software Making an Impact on In-house Legal TeamsIn Colin's opinion, there are many add-ons and tools that integrate into MS Word or Excel that most lawyers already use. These tools and add-ons help with things like automating documents and editing documents. Also, MS Word has amazing built-in technology that many lawyers are not aware of. These MS Word features can help with formatting and styling documents. Legal OperationsLegal operations are becoming a vital part of any legal department for a variety of reasons. One of the reasons is that you can better optimize your current processes. You can also better integrate those processes into the larger operations of the business. This is important because, for a long time, legal departments have worked in isolation and were not connected with other business functions. In Colin's opinion, ‘legal operations' is the bridge between the legal dept and the larger business. We have to make the legal dept more of a business partner and a resource, enabling it to act as a team member instead of just being a go-to problem solver or cost center, which has been the traditional approach in many law firms. Deriving Insights from the Data It is essential for legal departments to make use of data they have on hand, for example, in the contracts and other documents, to show their value. In addition to minimizing risks, legal departments have to play different roles as well. They have to help businesses better see data—for example, how their contracts are operating and hidden risks in their contracts about legal obligations. What are the Biggest Bottlenecks or Pain Points in Contract Management?There are several bottlenecks. For example, one issue is version control. This is because most of us send documents back and forth, and everyone has a different way of naming them and dating them, which can cause issues down the line. This is one of the areas that effective contract management can address. As many contract management software products work well with MS Word natively, tracked changes by the user as well as version control is done on your behalf. Another issue is a lack of a central place for storing and maintaining documents. Having a single place for all documents helps sort and search documents with similar traits and features. Unlike traditional contract management systems, storing and maintaining all files in a single centralized, digital repository allows for extensive reporting and optimum compliance. Contract management can also help find documents that have commonly used clauses and provisions. Also, contract management tools can allow you to derive a lot of data from your agreements through reviewing them and reviewing them through algorithms. However, it is vital to understand your goals before choosing a contract management tool for your firm. Factors to Consider when Choosing the Right Contract Management ToolYou should consider the needs and preferences of your organization carefully before choosing a specific contract management tool. Customizable to your Company's NeedsYour company's needs and preferences change over time. As your company enters into a higher number of contracts, you may have to change the way the contracts are labeled, organized, or searched based on your new business goals and objectives. When considering a contract management solution for your company, ask the potential provider regarding customizability- during as well as after the implementation phase. Implementation and Ease of UseThere is no doubt that nobody wants a system that is hard to use. Note that the ultimate success of any contract management platform will depend on several things, but mainly on whether your team members are willing to give the tool a try. Convenience, ease of use, and a positive user experience will definitely encourage not just an initial trial but consistent and long-term use of the contract management system as well. When the implementation and onboarding processes are smoother, your teams will experience less disruption and will be able to make a faster transition.
As a law student, Colin Levy saw the future of legaltech, and after graduating he set about building himself a career in the field. Ten years later, he's navigated through in-house roles, built out his skill set, and networked his way to a position as Director of Marketing and Business Development for WordRake, which produces editing software for professionals, including lawyers. For the Future Law Podcast, Mike Madison talked with Colin about his path to his identity as a self-described "Legal Tech Evangelist."

Today I am speaking with Colin Levy, who has been in-house counsel in the field of legal technology for a while. He recently lost his job and through this experience he is inspiring so many with his journey and philosophy.

Colin Levy, Legal Technology, and Legal Innovation Thought Leader says that there are a lot of people in the legal industry who are truly trying to innovate, but that innovation does not equal technology, and technology does not equal innovation. There's a holistic approach that needs to be taken, especially in the middle of a crisis like we have now, and the processes as well as the technology need to be evaluated in order to truly create an innovative environment that is built to last. Remember, we may all be In Seclusion, but we're in this together.
