In this episode, Mary Juetten explains how to use key performance indicators (KPIs) to "start with the end in mind"—to set goals for your law firm and measure your progress (or lack of progress) towards those goals. Make goal-setting and KPIs a part of your planning for 2017 (and keep an eye on the front page for more tools from Mary to help you implement them). Just a heads up: the recording did get a bit choppy. We cleaned it up as best we could, but there are a couple of places where we just had to leave it. Mary Juetten co-founded the Evolve Law community of early legal tech adopters, and wrote Small Law Firm KPIs: How to Measure Your Way to Greater Profits. She also created Traklight business risk management software.

In this Special Report, Executive Producer Laurence Colletti sits down to interview Evolve Law Co-Founder Mary Juetten and the Evolve Law Client Driven Technology Solutions panelists at the Legal Talk Network’s Denver studio. Lawbooth Project Manager Joe Burchard moderated the talks and the panel was comprised of Davis Wright Tremaine Client Engagement & Innovation Strategist Kate White, Intensity Analytics CEO John Rome, and Bryan Cave Chief Innovation Officer Kathryn DeBord. Mary starts the interview with a brief explanation of how Evolve Law began and shares that their mission is to cultivate a community focused on accelerating the adoption of technology within the legal profession. Joe explains that the event was designed to promote discussion about technology in the general legal space, the direction these advancements are headed, and how lawyers and technologists can ensure the direction is a positive one. The group then finishes the interview with an analysis of how bots can reduce monotonous work for legal professionals, why artificial intelligence will never replace them, and how attorneys can best leverage technology to improve their practice. Mary Juetten is the founder and CEO of Traklight and the co-founder of Evolve Law. She is a contributor to the American Bar Association Law Technology Today and Forbes. Mary received her bachelor of commerce from McGill University and her juris doctorate from Arizona State University College of Law. John Rome is the chief software architect and CEO of Intensity Analytics Corporation. He is a technology inventor and software developer. John received his bachelor’s degree in economics and mathematics from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and his juris doctorate from the University of Minnesota Law School.

In this Special Report, Lawbooth CEO Willy Orgorzaly gives a Darwin Talk, a 5 minute thought-provoking presentations meant to intrigue, excite and generate discussion, on how lawyers are adapting to changes in the legal profession at the Evolve Law Client Driven Technology Solutions event held at the Legal Talk Network’s Denver studio. Willy talks about how the legal marketplace is currently experiencing a technological revolution and, similar to the industrial revolution, industries that have existed for decades are being replaced (except this time with apps, websites, and technology). He explains the trends of disruption that these new technologies are causing in various industries and how most companies view them as novelties until they begin to take valuable market share. Willy accentuates this fact by analyzing how Kodak’s development of the digital camera, and lack of investment in this new technology, resulted in their subsequent bankruptcy. He then compares the emergence of legal tech and the legal industry’s response to this new sector of the marketplace to this trend of technologically induced upheaval. Willy also analyzes how millennial consumers and attorneys expect cutting edge technology within the profession; Resistance to this demand results in one third of lawyers and new associates leaving their law firms within three years. He explains that there is a frustration among millennials when they encounter a law firm that does not embrace technology and many of those potential employees are willing to take lower paying jobs that will fulfill their tech expectations. These changes, Willy says, are also increasing access to justice for the common individual by increasing efficiency and reducing cost for law firms (this is a huge fiscal opportunity for the firms that embrace new tech). He then closes the talk by looking toward the future and speculating how these changes will influence client and attorney relationships. Willy Ogorzaly is the CEO and co-founder of Lawbooth. He attended the University of Colorado Leeds School of Business.

There are many thoughts and opinions on what the future of legal tech should be and who should construct that future. If you’re a lawyer interested in influencing growth what are the best ways for you to partner with technologists to do so? How can developers and attorneys work together to help steer the evolution of this industry? In this Special Report, Evolve Law Co-Founder Mary Juetten, moderator Joe Burchard, and Evolve Law Client Driven Technology Solutions panelists Kate White, John Rome, and Kathryn DeBord discuss the future of legal tech and how attorneys and technologists can best shape it. Mary opens the panel with a brief explanation of what Evolve Law is, a community focused on accelerating the adoption of technology within the legal profession, and her hopes that the discussion will help inspire the creation of a legal innovation group in Colorado. Joe provides an introduction for each panelist and starts a group analysis on the biggest pain points for practicing lawyers. Kate elaborates on what client driven tech solutions actually means, technology solutions tailored to relieve a specific client frustration. She considers new pressures on in-house counsel, the volume areas of work that need to be handled more efficiently, and how outside counsel can partner with legal professionals. Kathryn DeBord answers the question,”Do law firms need technology to grow?” and provides insight on how leveraging current technology can help to reduce monotonous tasks and free up attorneys to more consistently focus on the practice of law. The group then debates whether legal professionals should develop or aid in developing new technologies or whether that responsibility should be left solely in the hands of technologists outside of the industry. John shifts the conversation to data security and the lack of urgency in the legal tech community despite the recent Panama Papers leaks. The group then wraps up the panel with an analysis of artificial intelligence, why robots will never replace lawyers, and a question and answer session with the event attendees. Adam Camras is the chief executive officer of Legal Talk Network. He has been involved in the legal industry for over a decade and enjoys learning about the latest technology and trends affecting the industry. Adam travels the country for speaking engagements, to attend conferences, and to meet with members of the legal community.
