Podcast appearances and mentions of smith bernal

In this episode I got to talk with Richard Smith Bernal, a young entrepreneur with huge aspirations in the health and wellness sector.  Richard founded the Juice Smith in the summer of 2013. He contracted severe gastritis after taking a workout supplement for training. After a long healing process he came across juicing to supplement a more healthy and balanced diet. Richard's background in the health and fitness industry and cold pressed knowledge resulted in the founding of ‘The Juice Smith'. The Juice Smith is the result of meticulous research into juicing and cleansing and they are excited to be part of a general movement towards health and wellbeing.   As an organisation the Juice Smith is moving into some extremely exciting territories as a business. Nutrition in schools is an area that has needed some serious attention in recent years.  The issue of childhood obesity in the UK is something that has been an overwhelming problem.  Not educating children at a grassroots level on nutrition is arguably one of the leading factors in the epidemic.  The Juice Smith aims to do exactly that.  By working in schools the company educates and provides nourishing food to children and in the process betters there performance in everyday life. 

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.

I spoke with Graham Smith-Bernal, the founder and CEO of Opus 2 International, a litigation technology and services company. He also created LiveNote, which Thomson Reuters acquired in 2006. We discussed the genesis of Opus2 and its flagship product, Magnum, which earned the company the 2014 ILTA Innovative Solution Provider of the Year award, and the future of online collaborative workspaces, among other topics. Smith-Bernal noted that 80-90 percent of all major litigation in London leverages Opus2's Magnum and with offices in London, New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Paris, and Dubai, lawyers around the world are applying collaboration to a host of distinct legal systems.
