He's also a cybersecurity expert and serial entrepreneur, holding board seats at Frontify and several other startups. Paulina Grnarova is the co-founder and CEO of DeepJudge, an AI-powered knowledge search for legal professionals. She holds a PhD in Computer Science from ETH, and started her company in 2021, directly after completing her studies.Founded by ex-Google search engineers and legaltech veterans, DeepJudge reimagines how firms access and use their internal knowledge, unlocking the full breadth of data and depth of documents to improve all areas of a lawyer's business. It enables you to build entire AI applications, encapsulate multi-step workflows, and implement LLM agents.SICTIC is one of DeepJudge's investors. During his chat with Merle and Paulina, SICTIC president Thomas Dübendorfer shared how he assesses startup teams: Does the founder really understand what the journey of a startup is? Can the startup team evolve to meet changing demands?Does the team believe what they're selling?Are they aware that they'll have to overcome several difficulties in the coming years?Are they all moving in the same direction, working to achieve the same mission?Thomas also takes care to assess companies from an ethical standpoint, especially when the tech has dual use. For instance, drones can be used for rescue missions or to bring food or medicine, but they can also be used to transport weapons. In cases like these, it's crucial to confront the founders with the most problematic possibilities upfront.Thomas is confident in Switzerland's AI future: all the experts are here, across a very broad range of industries, and, when it comes to AI specifically, Switzerland can already count on several research institutions making great strides - like the ETH AI Center, the Swiss National Institute, and the Swiss National SuperComputing Center.The cover portrait was edited by Smartportrait.

Legal technology company Clio recently released the 10th edition of its Legal Trends Report, its annual analysis of data and survey responses on legal practice and emerging trends, and this year's report ventured into new territory. For the first time, the report included a neuroanalytics study of legal professionals, analyzing electrical brain activity in legal professionals as they performed various work-related tasks, in order to paint a picture of their emotional strain and mental focus as they worked. For an in-depth look at this year's Legal Trends Report, its principal author, Joshua Lenon, lawyer in residence at Clio, sits down with LawNext host Bob Ambrogi for a conversation recorded live at the 13th annual ClioCon, Clio's annual conference, which was held this year in Boston. They discuss the results of this first-ever cognitive study, as well as the report's other key findings, including what it shows about: AI adoption and its relationship to law firm growth. Clients' expectations around lawyers' use of AI. How potential clients find lawyers. The correlation between technology adoption and long-term success. With Clio since 2012, Lenon is an attorney admitted to practice in New York who has focused much of his career on helping lawyers understand the benefits and risks of technology adoption within their practices. At Clio, he leads the development of the Legal Trends Report and contributes to legal scholarship and advancement, often speaking on law firm modernization, technology adoption, legal ethics and access to justice.

Imagine opening your phone, describing your dispute in simple language, and getting a clear, data-backed path to resolution—without weeks of confusion or a wall of legalese. That's the future we dig into with lawyer and legal tech builder Nicolas Torrent, who's helped design online arbitration platforms and shape Switzerland's legal tech ecosystem. Together we unpack how AI, user experience, and court data can turn access to justice from a maze into a map.We start with the hard truths: price uncertainty, physical distance, and cognitive barriers keep people out of court. Nicolas lays out how legal design—plain language, smart workflows, and visual cues—can guide users step by step. Then we zoom into the power of data: aggregated outcomes that help people understand their odds, timelines, and likely costs, improving settlement decisions and restoring trust. Speed isn't just convenience; it's an economic catalyst. When fair rulings arrive sooner, families and small businesses can move forward with confidence.We also explore a sustainable path. Nicolas outlines “profitable justice” that doesn't hide rights behind paywalls: think low-cost online small-claims settlement tools that offer realistic ranges based on similar cases, with an option to escalate to a human judge. Pair this with supervised trainee reviews, pro bono, and targeted lawyer services, and you get a flexible market that meets people where they are. Along the way, we tackle big-picture risks—AGI race dynamics, quantum acceleration, and geopolitical stakes—and why open source, distributed authority, security, and personal accountability must anchor any public system.Throughout, one principle stays constant: keep humans in control. AI should accelerate routine work, surface patterns, and translate complexity into clarity, while judges and lawyers apply judgment, empathy, and responsibility. If we design for inclusion, treat court data as a strategic public asset, and build with transparency, justice can become faster, fairer, and truly accessible.

What happens when a world-class badminton player trades the court for the courtroom and then the boardroom? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Tom Dunlop, CEO and co-founder of Summize, to explore how a former Great Britain athlete became one of the most forward-thinking leaders in legal technology. Tom shares how his journey from sport to law to entrepreneurship shaped his leadership philosophy and his belief in “high agency,” the mindset of taking ownership, driving action, and leading from the front. We talk about how that outlook helped him transform the traditional image of legal work into something faster, smarter, and more collaborative through Summize's AI-powered Contract Lifecycle Management platform. Rather than forcing users to adopt new software, Summize integrates directly into tools people already use like Teams, Slack, Outlook, and Word, embedding contract management seamlessly into everyday workflows. We also explore Tom's reflections on brand building in a historically conservative industry, the mental shift from risk-averse lawyer to decisive founder, and why he believes legal leaders should embrace innovation as a way to strengthen their role at the boardroom table. His story is as much about personal reinvention as it is about technological disruption, revealing how determination, discipline, and curiosity can reshape even the most traditional professions. So, how do you balance precision with risk when you move from legal advisor to entrepreneur? And what lessons from sport, law, and leadership can help us all perform better in the fast-changing world of work? I'd love to hear your thoughts after listening.

Just a couple years ago when we talked with Ernie Svenson, the attorney who talks tech fluently, AI was not even a thing. Now in late 2025, it's the only thing. Ernie joins Tim and Jeff to discuss the rapidly evolving landscape of AI in legal practice, why AI gives small firms an advantage, and how attorneys can safely leverage these tools without falling victim to “hallucinations.”We discuss how to embrace AI tools without anxiety (or with the appropriate amount of anxiety), starting with inconsequential applications before moving to more consequential legal work.Pattern Recognition on Steroids: AI excels at pattern recognition and language expression, ideal for first drafts and oral argument prep.Not an AI Problem: Recent sanctions for citing hallucinated cases reflect a longstanding due diligence issue. AI just exposes attorneys who don't verify sources.Small Firm Advantage: AI works best as a force multiplier for individual cognitive ability, giving solo practitioners and small firms who master these tools an edge over larger organizations.Agentic AI on the Horizon: While fully autonomous AI agents need careful supervision, basic applications like data entry are already available, with complex applications developing rapidly for case prioritization and KPI extraction.

In this issue of the Future of Cyber newsletter, Sean Martin digs into a topic that's quietly reshaping how software gets built—and how it breaks: the rise of AI-powered coding tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and GitHub Copilot.These tools promise speed, efficiency, and reduced boilerplate—but what are the hidden trade-offs? What happens when the tools go offline, or when the systems built through them are so abstracted that even the engineers maintaining them don't fully understand what they're working with?Drawing from conversations across the cybersecurity, legal, and developer communities—including a recent legal tech conference where law firms are empowering attorneys to “vibe code” internal tools—this article doesn't take a hard stance. Instead, it raises urgent questions:Are we creating shadow logic no one can trace?Do developers still understand the systems they're shipping?What happens when incident response teams face AI-generated code with no documentation?Are AI-generated systems introducing silent fragility into critical infrastructure?The piece also highlights insights from a recent podcast conversation with security architect Izar Tarandach, who compares AI coding to junior development: fast and functional, but in need of serious oversight. He warns that organizations rushing to automate development may be building brittle systems on shaky foundations, especially when security practices are assumed rather than applied.This is not a fear-driven screed or a rejection of AI. Rather, it's a call to assess new dependencies, rethink development accountability, and start building contingency plans before outages, hallucinations, or misconfigurations force the issue.If you're a CISO, developer, architect, risk manager—or anyone involved in software delivery or security—this article is designed to make you pause, think, and ideally, respond.

Avaneesh Marwaha, the CEO of Litera, visits the show to discuss his journey from IP lawyer to becoming a legal tech CEO and investor. He discusses the motivations behind his career pivot, including his desire to be a decision-maker and his passion for the business side of law. The conversation delves into the evolution of Litera, from its origins as a document-focused migration software company to its current role as a comprehensive legal tech ecosystem. Avaneesh highlights the company's strategic shift from acquiring to building new technologies. He also emphasizes the importance of Litera's strong partnership with Microsoft and the company's focus on enhancing law firms' productivity and client service. Key Takeaways: Pivoting from Law to Business: Avaneesh's move from practicing IP law to an in-house role and eventually becoming a CEO was driven by his desire for a more active role in business decision-making. He saw lawyers as reactive to business decisions, and he wanted to be at the forefront of the action. The Value of a Law Degree in Business: Avaneesh shares his perspective on the value of a law degree for business professionals, highlighting the critical thinking and risk tolerance skills it provides. He notes that the corporate transaction course he took in law school was particularly beneficial, teaching him about corporate governance and fiduciary duties. Litera's Evolution: Avaneesh discusses how Litera has grown through strategic acquisitions and a recent focus on internal development. He explains how the company integrates various tools, like Kira and Foundation, to create a seamless ecosystem for lawyers within their daily workflows, primarily in Outlook and Word. The Impact of Generative AI: The discussion touches on the transformative impact of AI on the legal tech industry. Avaneesh explains how AI has enabled Litera to accelerate its product development and introduce features that proactively assist lawyers with tasks like document comparison and client relationship management. Build vs. Buy Strategy: Avaneesh outlines Litera's shift from a buy-heavy strategy to a more balanced build-and-invest approach. This change is largely due to the increased efficiency and speed of development enabled by AI tools. Future of Legal Tech: Avaneesh shares his vision for the future of Litera, which includes a focus on "maniacal client service" and helping law firms proactively grow their business. He believes that as automation handles routine tasks, lawyers will have more capacity for business development and client-centric work. Things We Talk About Kira Systems - A company acquired by Litera specializing in AI-powered contract analysis. Foundation Software - A business acquired by Litera focused on knowledge management.

Dime qué piensas del episodio.Pedro Friedeberg @pedrofriedeberg es un genio excéntrico, un arquitecto del absurdo y uno de los artistas más irreverentes que ha dado México. Estudió arquitectura, pero la abandonó por consejo de Mathias Goeritz. Expuso por primera vez gracias a Remedios Varo. Y desde entonces ha creado un universo visual que combina geometría sagrada, arquitectura imposible, símbolos esotéricos, ironía refinada y una obsesión casi maniaca por la simetría —todo, sin usar el color verde, porque “hay que limitarse en algo”.Hoy, con 89 años, Pedro sigue dibujando todos los días desde su estudio en la Ciudad de México. Y aunque se burla de todo, cuando habla del arte, la arquitectura y la vida, deja claro que el verdadero caos solo puede construirse con inteligencia.Por favor ayúdame y sigue Cracks Podcast en YouTube aquí."Sí, soy excéntrico… pero no lo suficiente."- @pedrofriedebergComparte esta frase en TwitterEste episodio es presentado por LegaLario la empresa de tecnología legal que ayuda a reducir costos y tiempos de gestión hasta un 80% y por Hospital Angeles Health System que cuenta con el programa de cirugía robótica más robusto en el sector privado en México.Qué puedes aprender hoyCómo dejar de preocuparte por todoCómo diferenciarte del restoCómo convertir un chiste en ícono*Este episodio es presentado por LegaLario, la Legaltech líder en México.Con LegaLario, puedes transformar la manera en que manejas los acuerdos legales de tu empresa.

Welcome to a fascinating exploration of the hidden legal battles shaping tomorrow's technology. Predictive algorithms have become the crystal balls of modern business, forecasting everything from home prices to healthcare costs, but they're also becoming the center of high-stakes courtroom dramas worth hundreds of millions of dollars.Across the globe, from Texas courtrooms to China's Supreme People's Court, judges and juries are answering a profound question: who owns the right to predict the future? The House Canary v. Amrock case resulted in a staggering $600 million verdict over real estate valuation algorithms, while Alibaba secured a 30 million RMB judgment against a company that allegedly scraped its predictive marketing tools. Even industrial applications aren't immune, with companies like Shen Group successfully protecting predictive design software for machinery components.What makes these cases particularly compelling is how they're redefining intellectual property law. Courts are now recognizing that AI model weights, the mathematical parameters tuned during training, qualify as protectable trade secrets. Data pipelines, prediction engines, and algorithmic structures have all received similar protection. The real drama often unfolds when employees change companies, raising thorny questions about what constitutes general expertise versus proprietary knowledge that belongs to the former employer.Healthcare prediction presents especially valuable territory, with ongoing battles between companies like Qruis and Epic Systems, or Milliman and Gradient AI, demonstrating how patient data forecasting creates immensely valuable intellectual property. Whether it's forecasting home values on Zillow or optimizing Medicare billing, these predictive tools aren't just convenient features, they're corporate crown jewels worth protecting at almost any cost.Ready to dive deeper into the invisible rules governing innovation? Subscribe now and join us as we continue to decode the legal frameworks shaping our technological future. The algorithms may predict tomorrow, but who gets to own those predictions? That's what we're exploring on Intangiblia.Get the book!Send us a textSupport the show
In episode #577 of Lawyerist Podcast, discover how to use AI to drive firm growth, expand practice areas, and strengthen client relationships while avoiding the trap of treating it as a simple efficiency tool. Too often, conversations about AI in law stop at shaving time off tasks or reducing headcount, but AI holds far more potential than cost-cutting. Innovation strategist Sam Harden explains why firms should resist the temptation to view AI as a staff replacement and instead embrace it as a growth engine. By experimenting with generative tools and even “vibe coding,” lawyers can create new services, improve client experiences, and reach entirely new markets. Rather than narrowing practice, AI can open doors to expansion, innovation, and more sustainable business models—helping firms future-proof themselves in a rapidly evolving market. Ideal for growth-minded lawyers, firm leaders, and legal innovators who want to use AI strategically to scale smarter, serve better, and stay ahead.
