The third episode within our "Worldwide Entrepreneur" season is a special one.  On this episode I got the chance to speak to Graham Smith-Bernal who is the inventor and founder of both the LiveNote software and Opus 2.  This was unlike any interview I have done to date as Graham was responsible for revoultionising an industry I have very limited knowledge of.  Reading up about how Graham's technologies have benefited the legal industry was something that I really really enjoyed doing.  Expanding my knowledge base is always something I look to do and this conversation certainly gave me an avenue to do so. This interview was fascinating for a number of reasons.  Yes, getting the chance to learn about an area of business I hadn't previously understood was fascinating. However for me it was Graham's attitude towards business, and life, that stayed with me after the interview. Just a brief description of Graham's business history.  Graham left school at the age of 16 and enrolled in a stenography course. Having this initial exposure to the courtroom was the foundation on which Graham went on to develop the LiveNote software in the early 1990's, this was a software that was extremely innovative for it's time. Graham sold LiveNote in 2007/2008 and had a few years retirement before coming back to introduce an even more disruptive platform that has made his previous courtroom technology obsolete. Incredible. Being able to have that vision for business is a gift so I strongly advise listening to what Graham has to say in this episode. What this episode has in store for you: Graham's early experiences that lead to him setting up Smith-Bernal International. Where Graham's entrepreneurial spirit came from. What the LiveNote software is and how it revolutionised the courtroom. What the 'aha' moment was for Livenote. How LiveNote played a key role in some of massive cases - The OJ Simpson trial, Hillsborough etc... Graham talks us through selling LiveNote, a brief retirement and then coming back to inventing something better. Graham explains what Opus 2 is. Graham's advice for any entrepreneurs out there.

This episode of Impromptu is titled "Interfacing Art & Technology In Building Audiences." Orchestra President & CEO Allison Vulgamore loved having Jeremy Rothman, the Vice President of Artistic Planning at The Philadelphia Orchestra join her for this chat about LiveNote and other new forms of technology being used by the Orchestra.  

In this rebroadcast episode of Law Technology Now, host Bob Ambrogi talks with Opus 2 International, Inc. CEO Graham Smith-Bernal about his career and the evolution of the electronic courtroom. Graham recalls his early interest in becoming a court stenographer and how at the age of 23 he had the opportunity to establish his company Smith Bernal International. At that time he noticed that the legal industry was driven heavily by precedent and tradition and that he could use technology to establish his company as a service differentiator. Graham was also aware that a lot of lawyers are technophobic, so any software he developed had to be easy to use and with the advent of real time transcription he came up with the idea for LiveNote. He shares that there was a lot of pushback and reticence in the early days, but by exercising the ease of use, increase in efficiency, and leveraging end user feature requests the product became mature as a piece of tech. Graham states that success in any business is about timing and your process and the increase in processing speeds and maturity of the stenography systems availability at the time put his company slightly ahead of the technological curve. He discusses the success of LiveNote and explains how he developed the Opus 2 magnum platform. He closes the interview with an analysis of electronic courtroom evolution and the trends he is currently seeing in tech assisted litigation. Graham Smith-Bernal started his career as a court reporter in the UK, and founded Smith Bernal International, where he created the LiveNote software. Smith Bernal International went on to become the world’s largest international court reporting company and LiveNote became the most widely used litigation support software prior to Smith-Bernal selling LiveNote to Thomson Reuters in 2006. He then founded Opus 2, where he is currently CEO, to continue his work in this area.
