In this episode of "The Geek in Review" podcast, co-hosts Greg Lambert and Marlene Gebauer interview Ryan McClead and Kate Boyd, the CEO and COO of Sente Advisors, respectively, as part of their "Love and Legal Tech" series. The interview delves into the couple's history in the legal technology space, their experience working together, and the challenges and benefits of being in a relationship while also being colleagues. Ryan and Kate share their extensive backgrounds in legal technology, with Ryan starting in the industry in 2003 and eventually becoming the head of innovation at a law firm, while Kate began her career as an intern at a law firm and later transitioned to the vendor side, working for companies such as HighQ, Compliance HR, and Kira Systems. The couple met while working together at HighQ and became good friends before starting their own companies in 2018 and eventually dating. When discussing the best aspects of working together, Kate mentions the empathy and understanding they have for each other's work habits and the ability to help one another when stuck on a problem. Ryan adds that working together eliminates the need to "download" their workdays to each other every night, as they are already aware of what the other is dealing with. However, they also acknowledge the challenge of not letting work consume their entire lives and the importance of setting aside time for non-work activities. The couple shares their experiences with reactions from others when they reveal that they work together, ranging from surprise to curiosity. They also discuss how they handle disagreements within their company, emphasizing the value of their different perspectives and the trust they have built in each other's problem-solving abilities. When asked about the interesting projects they are currently working on, Ryan and Kate highlight their involvement in AI-related projects, product launches, and technology evaluations for clients. They also offer advice for couples considering working together, stressing the importance of maintaining separate work and personal personas, knowing each other's strengths, and nurturing professional friendships outside of their shared work life.

Wie vielleicht schon unterschwellig aufgefallen ist, setzen sich die Nerds doch recht dafür ein, dass LegalTech in kleinen Kanzleien genutzt wird. Aber wie sieht es eigentlich in den Großkanzleien aus? Ist dort das LegalTech-Schlaraffenland? Genau dazu wurde Kathrin Shahroozi vor das Mikrofon gebeten, ihres Zeichens Legal Tech Lead bei WolfTheiss, um diese Frage zu klären. Wir sprechen auch über LegalTech Geschäftsmodelle, selbstgebastelte Lösungen, und was in der Ausbildung noch fehlt.

While technology is part of innovation, technology alone is not innovation. We brought in three guests this week to talk about what they are doing to innovate in the area of process improvement and give us some examples of some of the projects they are working on. Tiffany O'Neil is the Director of Knowledge Management & Technology Innovation at Procopio in San Diego. Alana Carson is the Client Success Manager at Thomson Reuters HighQ. Jack Godsey is the Account Executive at Thomson Reuters HighQ. There is a methodology when it comes to how law firms handle process improvement. O'Neil's process starts with communicating with the attorney and staff teams to determine what pain points they have and evaluate the current workflow. Sometimes it is as simple as tweaking the processes that already exist by adding or removing steps in the workflow, or by adding or removing the number of people involved. Sometimes it means reaching out to Alana and Jack to see how a technology tool like HighQ can improve the overall workflow through automation and improvements in communications and clearly defining and assigning steps in the overall process. The firm's clients are also involved in the process improvement design as well. Carson and Godsey mentioned that including clients in the overall process enables them to define what they need, and makes the law firm/client relationship stickier so that the clients really feel like a part of the firm's efforts toward process improvement and creating a better value for the client.

This week I had the pleasure of speaking to Chris Kitchener of HighQ fame.A driven product leader with over 15 years of product strategy and product management expertise in large organisations. Chris is now in charge of helping HighQ fit elegantly into the full suite of Thomson Reuters products, be that document automation and Contract Express, or Legal Tracker.He has a pilot's licence, is a techy from his uni days, and has a passion for the customer - who doesn't really care about the clever tech under the bonnet - they just want it to work smoothly. Chris is focussed on delivering great products, delighting customers and creating business value through operational and strategic excellence. He has a great CV, and a track record of delivering results across multiple industries, organisations, functions and teams. Tune in to hear what he has to say.
How are HighQ and Bryter are being used to assist Refugees in Greece?Phil Worthington, Managing Director of European Lawyers in Lesvos (ELIL), explains how these platforms are being used to increase access to justice for the thousands of refugees and asylum-seekers on the Greek islands of Lesvos and Samos.
The COVID-19 pandemic has not only affected in-person court hearings, but has similarly affected the arbitration world as well. In-person arbitration hearings are now difficult to hold, owing to travel restrictions and the difficulty in safely conducting face-to-face hearings. The arbitration world is rapidly adapting to remote arbitration hearings. The Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, one of the leading institutions for international arbitration, is leading the charge to adapt arbitration processes and technologies to remote hearings. Lise Alm, head of business development, discusses how her organization is helping to transform arbitration heariings not only for the current situation but to prepare for the future as well. Sebastiaan Bos, director of solutions for Europe, the Middle East and Asia at Thomson Reuters, joins the discussion to discuss how advanced workflow technologies such as HighQ can help enable this transformation.
HSBC is one of the most complex matrix organizations globally, it is many different businesses rolled into one and inherent in that is of course there is no one size fits all solution. There are different legacy systems being used for different processes. Over recent months SYKE has managed the bank's HighQ implementation, including end to end design and configuration of the platform and integration to other systems.Richard warns against using legal tech in the wrong way. The tech is very powerful. But you should never automate a broken process. In his time at HSBC he's seen just how important that is.HighQ's no code, user friendly interface and web design makes it a dynamic and easy to deploy solution that sits comfortably alongside HSBC's other internal systems. The clever infrastructure behind the scenes means it can generate powerful insights, with intuitive workflow and elegant UI.Richard is a big big fan of the ‘5 whys' way of looking at things and reducing the problem down into certain common denominators:Look at what potential solutions are out there that might help solve the problemStart small, keep adding on, fitting in with your plansBe prepared to change as you realize your limitations or discover new opportunities Be prepared to keep on reinventing or redefining the problem Accept there's no magic bullets out there HSBC's managed legal services and how it handles third-party supply contracts, is a showcase across the legal function. Seven years into the legal tech journey, they have implemented a workflow solution, simple to manage overall process. They focused on third party supply contracts, realizing that there is inherently less operational legal risk in those contracts.They have implemented a triage of high risk, middle and low. Richard believes, and that colleagues can be wowed by tiny noticeable things that you do. His top tips include:Simplicity is the key Be prepared to failSmall successes build trustThese wins help you build a stronger foundation for future success.Tune in to find out more.

AI and the legal sector, Chrissie Lightfoot - author, Kira, Neota, HighQ, Leverton, Ross and RAVN-iManage, entrepreneurialism. Stephen Turner, the host of Lawyers of Tomorrow, speaks with Chrissie Lightfoot, author, thought leader, investor, entrepreneur, mentor and government advisor. Chrissie is one of most influential thinkers and legal tech entrepreneurs in the legal industry and has done so much to change the way lawyers think about themselves and their clients.In 2010, Chrissie shot to fame with the publication of her first book, The Naked Lawyer, which invites lawyers to reach out and relate with clients (ROAR), to empathise, use social media, solve problems and generate more business by being entrepreneurial. Chrissie explains that she had been frustrated as a client consuming legal services, where she experienced poor customer service and a legal sector at least 10 years behind other sectors in terms of its use of technology. Chrissie therefore decided to become a solicitor to learn how the legal sector worked from the inside with a view to then working out how she could improve the functioning of the industry. The Naked Lawyer was tremendously successful and Chrissie consulted with law firms around the world on implementation of the ROAR model. In 2013, Chrissie was honoured as `Legal Professional of the Year' and a 'Top 100 International Executive`.Chrissie explains that, when thinking about the topic of her first novel, she had wanted to write about legal technology and innovation but that she realised that these ideas were too advanced for publication in 2010. However, by 2014 things had changed, with the legal sector now being more receptive to ideas such as AI and robot lawyers, and Chrissie published Tomorrow’s Naked Lawyer, predicting how the legal industry will be transformed by the adoption of legal technology, including AI, and new business models.Stephen and Chrissie discuss how the predictions made in Tomorrow's Naked Lawyer are happening now which means that lawyers now need to future proof themselves by reskilling for a new legal market. Since robotic automations and AI will soon be performing many tasks previously performed by lawyers, future lawyers need to focus on those tasks which the bots and automations is will not be able to perform as well as humans – for example, tasks involving empathy, negotiation and a refined understanding of human behaviour. Stephen and Chrissie discuss how it is crucial for lawyers to become entrepreneurial, to think like their clients, explore new business models and innovations and to be creative with the law. "Great lawyers understand business" - says Chrissie.Chrissie and Stephen discuss the way legal technology companies and law firms are now cooperating on an unprecedented scale. Technology companies such as Kira, Neota, HighQ, Leverton, Ross and RAVN-iManage have realised that through cooperation with law firms and with each other they can achieve so much more - for example, end-to-end technology integrations which cover the vertical delivery of legal services. Chrissie explains that technology companies understand that the focus must always be on the client and because of this they have found considerable success by marketing their legal products directly to corporations and in-house counsel.Chrissie and Stephen then get technical and explain some of the technologies existing under the umbrella term ‘AI’, discussing machine learning, robotic automations, expert systems and the vertical integrations which will mean that in the future 50% of traditional law firms will morph into other things, for example, alternative business entities created to provide non-traditional delivery of legal services.In Part Two of this podcast, Chrissie and Stephen continue their discussion of new legal technology and innovations, including discussing Chrissie's project, Robot Lisa, which is currently developing a suite of property tools for businesses and consumers. Chrissie and Stephen also give practical advice on how lawyers and law firms can harness the news technologies, begin to experiment with them and scale their legal knowledge, for example by leveraging expert systems that are pre-programmed with legal knowledge and can then exercise judgement and reasoning. Chrissie and Stephen also discuss the effect that advances in technology in general will affect society.
