Scott Stevenson is the CEO and co-founder of Spellbook, a legal tech company transforming how attorneys review contracts with AI. Since launching in 2018, Spellbook's AI copilot has been adopted by more than 1,700 legal teams and helps review over a million contracts annually. Scott recently led the company through a $20 million Series A backed by Inovia Capital, Thomson Reuters Ventures, The Legaltech Fund, and others. Before Spellbook, he founded Mune, a startup at the intersection of music and technology, and holds a BS in Computer Engineering from Memorial University in Newfoundland and Labrador.In this conversation, we discuss:Scott Stevenson's journey from building electronic instruments to launching Spellbook, the world's first generative AI copilot for lawyers.Why contracts, not court cases, were the ideal entry point for legal AI and how Spellbook now helps 3,000+ legal teams review over a million contracts a year.How AI is expanding access to legal services by reducing costs and enabling lawyers to serve the 70% of clients who previously couldn't afford help.Why AI won't replace lawyers and how tools like Spellbook enhance human judgment rather than automate legal decisions.Why now may be the best time to enter the legal field as AI eliminates drudgery and creates more room for strategy and client work.What product-market fit really looks like and how Scott found it after testing more than 100 hypotheses before landing on a solution that clicked.Why the best AI products embrace controlled chaos over rigid structure and how leaning into complexity reflects how the real world actually works.Resources:Subscribe to the AI & The Future of Work NewsletterConnect with Scott on LinkedInAI fun fact articleOn How to Build an AI platform that's growing faster than OpenAI

Send us a textINTRODUCTION:De'Vannon discusses the dangers of engaging with New Age rhetoric and spell books without being protected by God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. He emphasizes the deceptive nature of Lucifer, who can trick people into thinking they're moving forward while actually leading them astray. De'Vannon shares a vision where he saw God bring the universe down to its knees as a warning against venerating it above Him. De'Vannon also discusses the duality of the drag spirit, respect for the drag community, and the serious spiritual consequences of misusing spiritual gifts. He emphasizes the high accountability platform holders have before Yahweh and criticizes the mainstream use of terms like 'universe' which leads people away from Christ. The show touches on the queer community's prosperity and the spiritual gifts God has bestowed upon them. Finally, De'Vannon calls for individual authenticity and a personal relationship with God via Christ, while criticizing the church's mishandling of the queer community and New Age spiritual practices that don't recognize Christ's supremacy.Playlists: https://music.apple.com/profile/DeVannonSeraphinoWebsite: https://www.SexDrugsAndJesus.comINCLUDED IN THIS EPISODE (But not limited to):·      Spellbook and Literature Warnings.·      God is Going to Overthrow the Idol that has Become the “Universe.”·      God Laughs in the Face of Pantheons.·      The Spirit of Drag.·      Drag Queen Accountability.·      The Power of Subtle Influence.·      Celebrity Accountability to Yahweh.·      Yahweh's Reckoning Against the Church for Queer Abuse.·      A Relationship with Christ is Necessary for Heaven.·      A Warning To Shamans and Spiritual Leaders.·      God Favors the Queer Community.·      Miracles are Happening.·      Chosen Family was Jesus' Idea.·      TIME IS OVER.CONNECT WITH DE'VANNON SERÁPHINO:TikTok: https://shorturl.at/nqyJ4YouTube: https://bit.ly/3daTqCMLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/devannonEmail: SDJPodcastNewYork@Gmail.comThanks for listening!!!

In what it says is the first AI agent for law, the legal technology company Spellbook just released Spellbook Associate, an application that can plan and execute complex, multi-step workflows in transactional matters, much as an associate would. This is the same company that introduced the first generative AI copilot for contract drafting and review back in 2022, even before ChatGPT was released to the public.  In today's episode of LawNext, Scott Stevenson, the cofounder and CEO of Spellbook, joins host Bob Ambrogi to tell us all about the new Spellbook Associate, as well as to discuss the company's origins and future. As you will hear, the company pivoted from its original product when Stevenson and his cofounders began exploring large language models and saw their potential for streamlining law practice.  Stevenson, a computer engineer, founded the company in 2019 together with Daniel Di Maria, a former lawyer and now chief revenue officer, and Matt Mayers, a user experience expert and now chief experience officer. When they pivoted in 2022 to launch their AI copilot for lawyers, “customers came pouring in faster than we could keep up with,” he says.    Thank You To Our Sponsors This episode of LawNext is generously made possible by our sponsors.

His daily walks in nature help him outmaneuver competition and think in original ways, demonstrating the importance of a natural environment in fostering creativity.2-Evolution of Remote Work: The discussion highlights the transformative impact of remote work technologies like Starlink. Scott envisions a future where professionals can work from virtually anywhere, including remote locations like Patagonia, without sacrificing productivity or connectivity, showing the potential for a new era of work-life balance and flexibility.3-AI's Role in Legal Services: Spellbook's pioneering use of generative AI for legal document review and drafting is a significant advancement in legal tech. Scott explains how this technology helps lawyers handle unstructured text, particularly in contracts, making legal services more efficient and accessible, potentially transforming the legal industry.4-Challenges of Structured vs. Unstructured Data: The conversation clarifies the difference between structured and unstructured data. Scott describes how most software is designed to handle structured data, like databases, while unstructured data, such as legal contracts, poses unique challenges that AI can help overcome by understanding and manipulating text similarly to how a human would.5-Accessibility of Legal Services: One of Scott's primary motivations for founding Spellbook is to make legal services more accessible to small businesses and individuals who traditionally cannot afford them.

Scott, a metaphysical idealist, believes that while AI can simulate human-like reasoning and narrative generation, it lacks true consciousness. This perspective challenges listeners to consider the deeper implications of AI in society.7-Balancing Narrative and Intuition in Business: Scott discusses the importance of balancing narrative-based reasoning with intuitive pattern matching in business decisions. He explains how successful companies navigate both the social and material realities, using intuition and empirical data to make informed decisions, a practice that has significantly contributed to Spellbook's growth and success.

Harvey, an AI company specializing in legal tech, seeks $600 million in funding, potentially valuing the startup at $2 billion. This move underscores the rising influence of AI in the legal industry. Harvey's platform helps with legal document research and analysis, reducing repetitive tasks for lawyers. Despite a decrease in legal tech startup funding this year—from $871 million to $356 million—Harvey's funding could reverse this trend. Other notable AI-related legal tech fundings this year include Robin AI ($26.7 million), DraftWise ($20 million), and Spellbook ($19.6 million). Investor interest in AI for legal tech has been growing since last year, indicating a shift in the traditionally slow-to-adopt legal sector.https://greyjournal.net/news/legal-tech-funding-poised-for-major-shift-with-ai/ Hosted on Acast.

Zach Posner discusses the LegalTech Fund, an investment fund he helped start that focuses on legal tech businesses and offers insight on what it takes to build a successful start up. The LegalTech Fund has a solid track record and, if you have listened to a few episodes of this podcast, you've probably heard from founders of companies in which the Fund has invested–including Scott Stevenson from Spellbook, Otto Hansen at Term Scout, Tom Dreyfus at Josef, and also Zach's colleague at the Fund, Mike Suchsland.   Zach brings a unique blend of experience and insight to legal technology investing. Among other things, prior to starting the LegalTech Fund, he helped build an education tech company that was ultimately acquired by McGraw Hill. The LegalTech Fund has a couple of main areas of investing interest: Companies building tech that harnesses information from contracting processes and companies that are working to make legal services available to more people. Zach also offers insight and advice for those trying to build a company–including the importance of investor updates because the most successful companies often have the highest frequency of reporting to stakeholders. He suggests that entrepreneurs should be open and honest about challenges, allowing investors to assist in problem-solving.  Zach also says it is important for entrepreneurs to demonstrate their products in a quick, iterative manner. He stresses that frequent engagement with customers can provide invaluable insights guiding the product development process. He further suggests that entrepreneurs should be tenacious with their vision, but flexible in their approach to achieving it. Learn more about Zach.  

Every founder wants to build the next $1B+ company. So it's normal to get inspired by what companies like Apple, Shopify and Microsoft do. But it's also a huge mistake. In this episode, we look at what Shopfiy, Fullscript and Spellbook did to find product-market fit. In many ways, it's the opposite of what they do now, as big succesful companies. Big companies are operating in a post-product-market fit world. Pre-product-market fit startups are in a different world entirely. The same rules don't apply. 

This Day in Legal History: Jack Ruby Convicted of Murder of Lee OswaldOn this day in legal history, March 14, 1964, marks a pivotal moment when nightclub owner Jack Ruby was convicted for the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin of President John F. Kennedy. The event unfolded in Dallas, Texas, where Ruby, in a shocking act caught on live television, fatally shot Oswald just two days after Kennedy's assassination. This act catapulted Ruby from obscurity to infamy, intertwining his fate with one of the most significant and tragic events in American history.Ruby's conviction led to a death sentence, a verdict that ignited a storm of controversy and conspiracy theories surrounding the Kennedy assassination. However, the legal saga did not conclude with this conviction. In October 1966, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals overturned Ruby's conviction, citing errors in the admission of testimony and the selection of Dallas as the venue for the trial. The court's decision for a retrial aimed to address these procedural missteps, yet Ruby would never face his second day in court; he died in January 1967 from a pulmonary embolism while awaiting the new trial.This case also shone a spotlight on the workings of the American legal system and its challenges in high-profile cases. Notably, Ruby's 1964 testimony before the Warren Commission, which investigated President Kennedy's assassination, added layers to the public's understanding of the events leading to Kennedy's death. Arlen Specter, then Assistant Counsel for the Commission and later a U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania, played a significant role in questioning Ruby. Specter's involvement in the commission and his subsequent political career kept the Ruby case and the broader Kennedy assassination narrative in the public discourse for decades.Jack Ruby's conviction and the ensuing legal battles highlight the complexities of justice and the enduring quest for truth in the aftermath of national tragedy. The events of March 14, 1964, remain a critical chapter in the legal and historical examination of the Kennedy assassination, reflecting on the broader themes of law, politics, and society in America.Donald Trump's legal team is poised to request a federal judge in Fort Pierce, Florida, to dismiss a case accusing the former president of unlawfully retaining classified documents after his presidency. Scheduled for Thursday, this hearing is part of Trump's broader strategy to confront four criminal cases amidst his campaign against Joe Biden for the upcoming U.S. election. Trump, pleading not guilty, faces a 40-count indictment for keeping sensitive national security documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate and obstructing efforts to reclaim them. His defense is expected to argue that he had the right to classify these documents as "personal," challenging the prosecution's stance that materials concerning nuclear capabilities and national defense cannot be deemed personal.Prosecutors, led by U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith, contest Trump's claim, emphasizing the illegality of his actions. The defense also plans to criticize the vagueness of the charges, especially regarding the illegal retention of national defense information, as it pertains to a former president. Additionally, Trump's team will present arguments on presidential immunity and the alleged selective prosecution compared to other officials who have retained classified records.Significant attention will focus on Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, and her response to these arguments, especially given her previous rulings in Trump's favor and subsequent criticism from a federal appeals court. The trial's timing is in flux, with discussions on postponing the scheduled May start, while Trump proposes a delay until after the November election, hinting at the potential to dismiss federal cases if re-elected.The outcome of this hearing could have substantial implications for Trump's legal battles, including other cases regarding election interference and the New York state charges involving payments to Stormy Daniels, further complicating his political and legal landscape.Trump to tell judge that keeping classified records was legal | ReutersDraftWise, a legal technology startup specializing in AI-powered contract tools for lawyers, announced a significant milestone in securing a $20 million Series A funding round led by Index Ventures. This latest financial infusion, with contributions from existing investors Y Combinator and Earlybird Digital East Ventures, underscores the burgeoning investor interest in AI applications within the legal sector. The New York-based company, founded by ex-Palantir engineers and a former Clifford Chance lawyer, has carved a niche in the legal tech market by enhancing contract drafting and negotiation processes with AI.Since its inception in the summer of 2020 as part of the Y Combinator startup incubator, DraftWise has distinguished itself by leveraging law firms' historical data and unique insights to refine contract customization. The company emphasizes a data-first approach over solely focusing on AI, which has allowed them to incorporate generative AI and large language models (LLMs) to further aid lawyers in their work. This strategy has enabled DraftWise to cater to notable law firm clients, including Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe and Mishcon de Reya, among others, reflecting its growing influence in the legal tech space.The cost of DraftWise's services varies depending on the size and needs of the law firm, offering a flexible solution to improve legal operations. As legal technology continues to evolve, DraftWise's successful funding round represents a key development in the industry's efforts to harness AI for enhancing legal expertise and efficiency. This trend is further evidenced by other legal tech companies, such as Spellbook and Robin AI, securing funding, highlighting the sector's rapid growth and the increasing value placed on AI-driven legal tools.Legal contracts company DraftWise raises $20 mln amid AI investment boom | ReutersMicrosoft has reached a settlement in a patent infringement lawsuit initiated by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) concerning Wi-Fi technology, a dispute that echoes a prior case where Caltech secured a billion-dollar jury verdict against Apple and Broadcom for infringing similar patents. The resolution was communicated to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, with both parties requesting a pause in the proceedings to finalize their agreement. Specific details of the settlement are yet undisclosed, with Caltech and Microsoft maintaining silence on the matter.The lawsuit accused Microsoft of violating Caltech's patents through its Surface tablets and laptops, as well as Xbox video game systems, a claim Microsoft contested by denying the allegations, challenging the patent validity, and asserting existing licenses for the disputed technologies. This legal battle follows a notable 2020 verdict where Caltech was awarded $1.1 billion in damages from Apple and Broadcom for similar patent infringements, a decision later overturned by an appeals court mandating a new trial for damages assessment. Subsequently, Caltech settled its dispute with Apple and Broadcom last year.Moreover, Caltech has initiated lawsuits against other tech giants, including HP Inc and Dell, for infringing the same Wi-Fi patents, indicating a broader legal strategy to protect its intellectual property rights. These ongoing cases underscore the complexity and high stakes of patent litigation within the tech industry, particularly concerning foundational technologies like Wi-Fi. The Microsoft settlement marks the latest chapter in Caltech's assertive enforcement of its patent portfolio, reflecting both the value and contentious nature of intellectual property in the tech sector.Microsoft settles Caltech lawsuit over Wi-Fi technology | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

This episode is a conversation with Spellbook co-founder Scott Stevenson about intersection of technology and creativity. Spellbook is a AI contract co-pilot for transactional lawyers that plugs into Microsoft Word. Despite founding a legal technology company, Scott is not a lawyer but is computer engineer by training. As a kid Scott was into video games and in fourth grade he talked his parents into getting him a computer because he wanted to figure out how to create them. By middle school he was building websites and eventually landed an internship at Electronic Arts. Scott is also interested in electronic music and he launched his first start up, Mune, with a music professor, to create a whole new musical instrument that combined the power of digital music with an acoustic instrument. It was during his time at Mune that Scott started to think about building a legal tech company. After he got his first legal bill he figured there might be a more efficient and less expensive way to do legal work. So he and lawyer buddy founded Rally, a document automation and templating engine for law firms which later begat Spellbook, but he funny thing about Spellbook, it was originally conceived as a marketing idea to generate leads for Rally.

This Day in Legal History: Thurgood Marshall DiesOn January 24, 1993, the United States lost one of its most influential legal figures, retired Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. His death in Bethesda, Maryland, marked the end of an era in American jurisprudence. Born on July 2, 1908, in Baltimore, Maryland, Marshall's journey to becoming the first African American Supreme Court Justice was paved with groundbreaking legal battles and an unwavering commitment to civil rights.Before his appointment to the Supreme Court in 1967 by President Lyndon B. Johnson, Marshall had already made a significant impact as a lawyer. He served as the chief counsel for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), where he strategized and won a series of critical court cases that chipped away at the legal foundations of racial segregation. His most famous case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka in 1954, ended with the Supreme Court's unanimous decision declaring state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional, effectively overturning the "separate but equal" doctrine of Plessy v. Ferguson.During his tenure on the Supreme Court, Marshall became known for his passionate advocacy for individual rights and his opposition to the death penalty. His legal opinions, both majority and dissenting, reflected his deep-seated belief in equality and justice for all. He often stressed the importance of viewing the Constitution as a dynamic, living document, capable of adapting to changing societal needs and values.Marshall's impact extends beyond his legal victories; he paved the way for greater diversity in the legal profession and on the bench. His life and career remain a testament to the power of the law as a tool for social change and continue to inspire generations of lawyers, activists, and citizens.His death was not just the loss of a great legal mind but also the end of an era that saw significant strides in civil rights and social justice. As we remember Justice Thurgood Marshall on this day, his legacy serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for equality and the enduring power of dedicated individuals to bring about change in society.Brown, Yale, and Columbia universities, along with Emory and Duke, have agreed to pay a total of $62 million to settle a lawsuit accusing them of favoring wealthy applicants, bringing the total settlements in the case to $118 million. This lawsuit, filed against several U.S. universities, alleges they conspired to restrict financial aid and violated a pledge to not consider students' financial status in admissions, effectively giving an advantage to wealthy students. The universities, including those that have settled, deny any wrongdoing. The settlements vary, with Yale and Emory paying $18.5 million each, Brown $19.5 million, and Columbia and Duke $24 million each. The lawsuit, still involving 10 other universities like Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania, is pending approval from U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly, who previously declined to dismiss the case in 2022.Brown, Yale, Columbia among latest to settle financial-aid lawsuit | ReutersGoogle has settled a patent infringement lawsuit with Singular Computing, averting a trial that was set to begin with closing arguments. The lawsuit, filed in 2019, sought $1.67 billion in damages, accusing Google of misusing Singular's computer-processing innovations in its artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Singular, founded by Joseph Bates, alleged that Google incorporated its technology into processing units used in various Google services like Google Search, Gmail, and Google Translate.The dispute centered around Google's Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), introduced in 2016 to enhance AI capabilities in tasks like speech recognition and ad recommendation. Singular claimed that the second and third versions of these units, released in 2017 and 2018, infringed on its patents. According to the lawsuit, Bates shared his inventions with Google between 2010 and 2014, suggesting that Google's TPUs copied his technology.Internal emails revealed during the trial indicated Google's interest in Bates' ideas, with the company's now-chief scientist, Jeff Dean, acknowledging their potential utility. However, Google maintained that its employees who designed the TPUs had never met Bates and developed the technology independently, arguing that its tech was fundamentally different from what was described in Singular's patents.Details of the settlement have not been disclosed, and representatives from both Google and Singular have confirmed the settlement without providing further information. Google spokesperson Jose Castaneda expressed satisfaction with the resolution, emphasizing that Google did not violate Singular's patent rights.Google settles AI-related chip patent lawsuit that sought $1.67 bln | ReutersGoogle Settles AI Chip-Design Suit That Had Sought BillionsSpellbook, a Canada-based legal software company specializing in contract management, has secured $20 million in Series A funding, led by Montreal's Inovia Capital. Other investors include The Legaltech Fund, Bling Capital, and Thomson Reuters Ventures. The company's product, built on OpenAI's GPT-4, assists corporate and commercial lawyers with contract drafting and review by suggesting language and negotiation points.The legal AI sector is experiencing a surge in investment as startups introduce tools designed to integrate generative AI into legal processes. However, the market remains highly competitive with no clear leader yet emerging. Spellbook's CEO, Scott Stevenson, highlighted the company's focus on serving small to midsize law firms and solo practitioners, though it has also attracted larger firms and in-house legal teams.Spellbook's clientele includes diverse organizations such as Addleshaw Goddard, KMSC Law, Carbon Chemistry, and ATEM Capital. The company, initially named Rally at its inception in 2019, rebranded to Spellbook after a $10.9 million seed round in June 2023 and shifted focus from automating routine legal tasks to AI-driven contract management.The legal technology sector is witnessing increased investor interest, particularly since the advent of generative AI technologies. Other firms in the sector, such as Norm AI and Robin AI, have also recently raised substantial funding, indicating a growing trend in the investment and development of legal AI tools.Legal AI startup Spellbook raises $20 mln as sector draws more investments | ReutersThe Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has introduced new rules for deals involving special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs), aiming to enhance investor protections and align these transactions more closely with traditional initial public offerings (IPOs). This regulatory change comes as SPACs, which surged in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic as an alternative public listing method, have recently lost favor. The new rules revoke certain legal protections previously afforded to SPAC sponsors, making them more susceptible to lawsuits over exaggerated statements. These regulations also demand increased disclosures, particularly concerning forward-looking projections in the later stages of SPAC deals.By way of very brief background, a SPAC is an alternative to the traditional IPO process for a company seeking to go public. A SPAC is essentially a shell company that raises funds through an IPO with the sole intent of acquiring or merging with an existing private company, thereby taking that company public. Unlike traditional IPOs, where a company goes public based on its own assets and operations, a SPAC has no commercial operations and is created solely for the purpose of acquiring a private company. This process allows the target company to become publicly traded more quickly and with potentially less regulatory scrutiny than the traditional IPO route. Additionally, SPACs offer more certainty regarding valuation and financing compared to traditional IPOs.SEC Chair Gary Gensler emphasized the need for robust investor protections, regardless of the method used for going public. The SEC's heightened scrutiny and macroeconomic factors like rising interest rates have already cooled the once-booming SPAC market. Major financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs and Bank of America reduced their involvement in SPACs following the SEC's initial proposal of these changes.The SEC's new requirements include detailed disclosures from SPAC sponsors about potential conflicts of interest, compensation, and dilution. Companies targeted by SPACs must now register with the SEC and fulfill additional disclosure obligations before merging. Furthermore, these target companies are now jointly liable for the information shared with investors and must provide independently audited financial statements. The SEC's Republican Commissioner Mark Uyeda criticized the rules as overly burdensome, suggesting they might effectively end the SPAC market. The new regulations will take effect in over four months, with additional financial reporting and accounting requirements for SPAC transactions also being implemented.SEC Imposes New Rules on Blank-Check Deals as SPACs Fizzle (2) Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe
