This week we have Damien Riehl, VP, Litigation Workflow and Analytics Content at Fastcase, and one of the drivers behind SALI (Standards Advancement for for the Legal Industry.) Damien is definitely a "big thinker" when it comes to the benefits of creating and using standards for the legal industry. SALI is a system of tagging legal information to allow for better filtering and analysis. It works like Amazon's product tags, where a user can search for a specific area of law, such as patent law, and then choose between various services such as advice, registration, transactional, dispute, or bankruptcy services. The tags cover everything from the substance of law to the business of law, with over 13,000 tags in the latest version. SALI is being adopted by major legal information providers such as Thomson Reuters, Lexis, Bloomberg, NetDocuments, and iManage, with each provider using the same standardized identifiers for legal work. With this standardization, it will be possible to perform the same API query across different providers and receive consistent results. Imagine the potential of being able to ask one question that is understood by all your database and external systems? In that same vein, we expand our discussion to include how Artificial Intelligence tools like Large Language Models (i.e., ChatGPT, Google BARD, Meta's LLM) could assist legal professionals in their quest to find information, create documents, and help outline legal processes and practices. He proposed three ways of thinking about the work being done by these models, which are largely analogous to traditional methods. The first way is what Riehl refers to as a "bullshitter," where a model generates information without providing citations for the information. The second way is called a "searcher," where a model generates a legal brief, but does not provide citations, forcing the user to search for support. The third way is called a "researcher," where the model finds relevant cases and statutes, extracts relevant propositions, and crafts a brief based on them. Riehl believes that option three, being a researcher, is the most likely to win in the future, as it provides "ground truth" from the start. He cites Fastcase's acquisition of Judicata as an example of how AI can be used to help with research by providing unique identifiers for every proposition and citation, enabling users to evaluate the credibility of the information. In conclusion, Riehl sees a future where AI is used to help researchers by providing a pick list of the most common propositions and citations, which can then be further evaluated by the researcher. One thing is very clear, we are just at the beginning of a shift in how the legal industry processes information. Riehl's one-two combination of SALI Standards combined with additional AI and human capabilities will create a divide amongst the bullshitters, the searchers, and the researchers.

On Nov. 7, 2022, at the NetDocuments Inspire 2022 conference for its customers and partners, LawNext host Bob Ambrogi moderated a fireside chat with four legal innovation leaders on the trends driving their organizations and legal teams and how they are addressing current challenges to set up their organizations for the next decade of success. NetDocuments and the four panelists have graciously consented to sharing the recording of that chat with the listeners of LawNext.  The four panelists were: John Hunter, Chief Information Officer, Council of Europe.  Mike Lucas, Chief Information Officer, Wilson Sonsini. Maurice Tunney, Director of Technology and Innovation, Keystone Law. Craig Umbaugh, Denver Office Managing Partner, Hogan Lovells, and also Global Head of the firm's Sports, Media, and Entertainment Group The theme of the conference focused on patterns of work, patterns of knowledge, and patterns of success, and so the fireside chat was organized around those themes. The panelists discuss major challenges they have addressed with regard to the evolving nature of the workplace, how they capture their organizations' internal knowledge and use it strategically, and how, in a time of such volatility, their organizations are preparing for continued success in the future.    Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

Earlier this month, at the NetDocuments three-day Inspire 2022 conference for customers and partners, one of the speakers was Jeff Pfeifer, chief product officer for LexisNexis for Canada, the U.K., and the U.S. He was there to speak about a unique partnership between LexisNexis and NetDocuments called Highlights, which embeds LexisNexis case analysis and intelligence technology directly into the NetDocuments platform, enriching legal documents and making them easier to find and retrieve. A broader theme of both Pfeifer and the conference was that of patterns of knowledge and of how enriching legal documents not only makes them easier to find and retrieve, but also enables law firms and legal departments to better see the patterns in their data and use those insights to better serve their clients. For Pfeifer, it is all part of the vision he and LexisNexis have long espoused of data-driven law practice.  After Pfeifer spoke at the conference, he sat down with LawNext host Bob Ambrogi to discuss the LexisNexis partnership with NetDocuments and his broader thoughts on the future of data-driven law. This is the last of three LawNext episodes recorded at the Inspire conference. The first featured an interview with NetDocuments' two top executives, CEO Josh Baxter and CTO and cofounder Alvin Tedjamulia. The second featured Dan Hauck, the company's chief product officer. Pfeifer was previously on LawNext in 2018, where he spoke in greater depth about his concept of data-driven law practice.   Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

Over seven years as a litigator of complex commercial and antitrust cases, Dan Hauck had become frustrated over how difficult it was for legal teams to collaborate around matters. In 2014, he left his law firm, Bryan Cave, to start ThreadKM, a matter-centric legal collaboration platform. As the product evolved, it developed integrations with the document management platform NetDocuments, and in 2017, NetDocuments acquired ThreadKM, resulting in the NetDocuments product ndThread.  Now, Hauck is chief product officer at NetDocuments, where he is responsible for the company's strategic vision, partnerships, products, user interface and roadmap. Over the past year, he was instrumental in the company's launch of PatternBuilder, a product for building applications and automating legal documents, and its acquisition of Worldox.  Earlier this month, at the NetDocuments three-day Inspire 2022 conference for customers and partners, LawNext host Bob Ambrogi sat down with Hauck for a live conversation about the company's product strategy and roadmap. Spoiler alert: His vision for the platform spans automating and linking every stage of the legal document workflow.    Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

Has tech made traditional legal assistants and secretaries obsolete? Think your firm can slash costs AND improve productivity by letting that support staff go? Not so fast. Law firms are laying off their support staff at alarming rates, thinking that automation is going to improve their service and efficiency. The big problem is, the automation infrastructure isn't really there yet.  My guest this week is Michelle Spencer, the Product Marketing Manager at NetDocuments, a leading document management tool. She's a huge believer in both the power of automation and the value of a great legal assistant. Michelle and I discuss the evolving role of non-lawyers in the law firm. Now, if you've been listening to this show for any length of time, you know we frequently talk about humanizing our use of tech in regards to service.  In this episode, we focus on how traditional legal assistants can still function well with a high lawyers to assistant ratio. How? By both humanizing the tech and automating the human functions. There are still so many client communication and air traffic control tasks that are best suited for a real-life human assistant, and we'll explain why.   Learn more about NetDocuments at https://www.netdocuments.com/ and find Michelle on Twitter at https://twitter.com/txmischief and LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/txmischief/ ----- FiveStarCounsel.com Get our FREE client service whitepaper!

14 - Juggling GDPR - Legally Cloud by NetDocuments

When Alvin Tedjamulia cofounded NetDocuments in 1998 as the first cloud-based platform for document and email management, few lawyers had any concept of what it meant to work in the cloud. Today, NetDocuments has grown to become one of the leading DMS systems in legal, counting some of the world’s leading law firms and corporations as its customers. Now chief technology officer at NetDocuments, Tedjamulia is in charge of strategic planning, cloud engineering, research and development, and SaaS software development, as well as for overseeing the company’s data centers in locations around the world. During NetDocuments’ recent ndElevate customer and partner conference, Tedjamulia sat down with host Bob Ambrogi to discuss the development of NetDocuments over the years and how lawyers came to love the cloud. Before cofounding NetDocuments, Tedjamulia was a cofounder in 1989 of SoftSolutions, an early DMS system popular with the legal profession. After WordPerfect acquired SoftSolutions, he became CTO at WordPerfect, and after Novell acquired WordPerfect, he became VP in charge of the Advanced Technology Group. He was also the original chief designer for Comprehensive Law Office (CLO), an accounting and time & billing system for Law Firms which is now with Aderant.

02 Cloud Washing - Legally Cloud by NetDocuments

“I won't live past 40” is something I said before I was 40. I meet a shocking number of guys who believe they aren't going to live past 40 (or some other arbitrary age). I don't know if this line of thinking is common with young women too, but for some reason men bring it up all the time. I used to think the same. I rarely worried about life after 40. It seemed too far in the future to worry. Even at 39, it seemed 40 wasn't likely to happen. My fear was more rational than most guys (though don't we all believe we're the rational one?). After all, I had a heart attack and quintuple bypass surgery at 37. I was already pushing the envelope. 40 would never happen. That may not be the way you think, or you may not realize you think it. But if you aren't planning for the future--well, that's a plan in and of itself. You're not going to die Good news/bad news: Odds are you're not going to die. I've looked up the statistics. If you survive your first year of life, you'll most likely make it past 40. Thinking you're going to die soon results in some crazy behavior. We fail to invest in long-term planning since we figure we won't be around. We focus on the present and leave the future to take care of itself. But that type of short-term thinking creates problems when we stumble past our target death date and we're still kicking. When I survived past 40, I was perplexed. I felt like a disappointed cult follower when the world doesn't end on the prophesied date. What's next? I hadn't prepared for the next phase. I regrouped, accepted the situation, and came up with a new target death date for my demise (also like the end-of-the-world fanatics). That was easy for me. My father died when he was 56. Certainly that would be the end of me as well. Time passed… And here we are again. Now, I'm 56. Things are going well. My health is good. But I'm only half-way through the year. Anything could happen. My wife is convinced a rickshaw will run me over here in New Delhi. She may be right, but at best it'll break my legs. Regardless, that type of short-term thinking isn't just ill-advised. It's dangerous. Here are some things we skimp on when we harbor the belief that we won't be around. 1. Vision Your vision guides your day-to-day decision making. If you can see it, you can build it. If your vision only encompasses a few years (like until age 40), it's not much help. The “dead at 40” crowd simply don't bother with vision. All they expect is a life doing the same thing others lawyers do, and a quick death at their desk at the predetermined time. Inspiring vision? I think not. Your vision is bigger than you. You need it for more than decision-making. Your vision inspires your team. They need to know where they're going and why they follow you. Your “imminent” death is an insufficient excuse for failing to exercise the primary responsibility of the business leader. Spend some time formulating a vision. 2. Team building Who needs a team if you're checking out soon? Yeah, you need a team. Investing in humans is important. Gallup surveys reveal that friendship at work is critical. Having a friend at work is one of the most important factors that determines whether your people will stick around and stay engaged. You need a strong connection to your people. Team building is more than ropes courses or Myers-Briggs tests. It's about knowing your people, caring about them, understanding them, and coming through when they need you. It's about setting expectations and then exceeding them. It's about building and maintaining trust by being consistent, predictable, and kind. Your team will only stick around if you invest in them like you're building something permanent and lasting. A big part of that, especially in the early years, is you. Lead people so they have something to believe and follow confidently. 3. Systems Your death makes building systems even more important. How will anyone wrap up your cases if you're dead and nothing is documented? The “dead at 40” crowd use their impending demise as an excuse to keep it all in their head. Why bother writing it down if you'll be gone anyway, right? I've said it before and I'll say it again: Systems are the business. I've even created a course on systems. That's how important they are. When you write things down, you free up space in your brain for higher-level work. You unburden yourself from trivia and use that bandwidth for growth. Systems enable you to delegate, outsource, and rely on others to handle things. Finding the energy and time to document systems requires a long-term focus. Investing in systems documentation is time-consuming and tedious. But it's the key to growing the business so you can take time off, invest in expansion, and eventually sell what you've created. 4. Networking Who needs a network if the central cog is checking out soon? That's an easy story to tell yourself as you cancel a lunch or coffee date. But you'll regret your lack of relationships when you're 41. Those twenty- and thirty-year relationships pay off later in life in a big way. The lawyer you befriended on the bar association softball team at age 30 becomes a key player in a big firm and your biggest referral source when she's 55. My approach to building your network is easier than you think, but it takes a long-term commitment. Relationships take time, and it's harder if you start later. Get to know people while everyone is looking to make new friends and build connections. Old people like me can't be bothered to meet someone new (we're tired, cranky, and busy watching TV). 5. Data management That data you pump into your practice management system will need to be extracted down the road. It's easy to ignore that concern if you plan to be dead. But if you're alive, you'll need a migration plan. My data has been stuck in three places over the years and getting it out each time was a nightmare. We got stuck in a product called Keyfile, then we had issues leaving Lotus Notes, and most recently we faced challenges leaving NetDocuments. It was all unpleasant, expensive, and painful. Assume that one day you'll need to migrate your data. Have an exit strategy before you enter. Push your vendor, before you give them your data, to have a pathway out. They won't make it easy (because they want you to stick around), but I'll never put my data somewhere again without the vendor's commitment to getting it out. 6. Succession planning You'd think that our focus on an early death would accelerate our succession plan. But that's not the way we roll. We think of death less as a succession opportunity and more as an escape plan. “Buh-bye and good luck,” we say as we imagine our ascent to heaven. Succession in a law firm takes time. Most law firm owners pass the baton to an associate or partner who has been with the firm for a long time. It takes years to build the relationship, and the buyer's financial position, so the new lawyer can take over. Those relationships need to start early. 7. Wealth building Basic financial sense shows us the power of compound interest. (Hint: It's our friend.) Investing early creates a dramatically bigger retirement fund. “But I'm going to die early,” we sometimes think. “I don't need a retirement account.” I've thought the same thing, but it's a terrible plan. It's hard to play catch-up later when we've lost all that time for asset growth. Sorry, but you won't die soon. It's math. So use that math to build wealth. Invest early. If you're dead, you won't care, but if you're alive, you'll be glad you set that money aside. You're going to see 41 Yep, you're going to live. I'm proof. Plus, there's all this data and science and stuff with statistics from experts. Don't plan on dying early, because it's not likely to happen. Live your life like you're going to keep living. Run your business the same way. Invest now, while you're energetic. Think long-term. Instead of shooting for low-value short-term wins, aim at the long-term, high-value target. Build, connect, systematize, manage and plan like there's a tomorrow. Because there is a tomorrow, so you might as well have a great business when you get there.
