In this interview, we learn how Stevie Ghiassi got his entrepreneurial spirit, about his company Legaler, his efforts in building the Australian Legal Technology Association, the Global Legal Tech Report and more, and how blockchain is going to change the face of legal.

I speak with Stevie Ghiassi. Stevie wears a number of hats, and most recently he published the viral book Blockchain for Lawyers. Rather than talking about the ins-and-outs of blockchain technology, instead we try to answer the question: why lawyers and law firms should care about blockchain technology and smart contracts? And, how the technology will impact the profession in the future.

In this On The Road report from the GLBC Annual Meeting 2018, host Pierson Grider talks to Stevie Ghiassi about what blockchain technology has made possible for Legaler, an Australian legal tech company. He shares what goals the company has that have been enabled by blockchain like increasing contract privacy, decentralized applications, and access to legal services. He also discusses what groups, events, and companies are changing the conversation about blockchain in the legal industry. Stevie Ghiassi is the CEO and co-founder of Legaler.com, an Australian legal technology company focused on advancing the delivery of legal services and expanding access to justice through the blockchain.

Stevie Ghiassi is the CEO of Legaler: a secure online law communication platform, and LegalerAid: a platform for crowdfunding on the Blockchain. LegalerAid is a new model that brings unprecedented transparency, using Blockchain technology to deliver legal services to the disadvantaged in our communities by incentivising lawyers to do pro bono work. In addition, there's a token element: a bit like a frequent flyer point system. You can now raise funds for social justice cases through smart contracts, where you've got complete transparency. No-one can run off with the money! You can see from the donor to the recipient: following the dollar all the way to the client. “We call it a proof of impact ecosystem - you can see the impact of every stake holder. You can see the company transparently, their expenses, you can see legally how it's operated. You can see the lawyers’ impact: it's all documented on the Blockchain.” Legal inclusion or access to legal services, is a huge problem. Currently there are over 4 billion people who don’t have access to justice, which is over half of the world's population. Social humanitarian issues are really at the core of what a lawyer and the legal system can provide, to give protection to citizens - the basis of the project that Stevie Ghiassi, based in Sydney, Australia, is involved in.

Stevie Ghiassi is the wonderfully engaging, intelligent and well grounded co-founder and CEO of Legaler and Legaleraid, President of ALTA, a serial entrepreneur across multiple industries, ex professional athlete and fellow podcaster.  He is a non lawyer law tech founder and in a wide ranging interview we talk about blockchain, access to legal services, entrepreneurship, ideation, innovation and technology.  He talks about his deep rooted family background as a business owner in retail and how technology started to disrupt that industry and how law is the last major trillion dollar industry to be disrupted. We discuss finding his purpose, changes in education and how the younger generations are embracing learning in a different way, how it is a good thing to try lots of jobs and ideas to find out what you don't like just as much as to find out what you love. Stevie talks about his journeys back and forth to America, raising capital in Silicon Valley, living in Florida and building a strong group of mentors and advisers.
