In Case You Missed It: Episodes 132 - 139
If you haven't seen our latest LegalTechLIVE episodes, here's a recap of what you've missed in blog form.
Hey readers, Hana and Nick here! We understand how busy a working professional’s life can be. Calendars stacked with meetings that could have been emails, looming deadlines, booking back-to-back flights to attend conferences, and don’t even get us started on fixing technical issues. Things add up, and the time to hear your favorite legal technology podcast dwindles. But you’re in luck! Here’s a recap of all the episodes since the relaunch.
Episode 132 announces the relaunch of the LegalTechLIVE podcast! Founder Nick Rishwain introduces his new co-host, Hana Zumout, a digital marketer with 7 years of experience in the legal technology space and the person behind the podcast’s rebrand.
Episode 133 highlights our first guest since LegalTechLIVE’s return, Nathan Walter, CEO of Briefpoint. His career as a litigator exposed him to how opposing counsel used discovery as “lawfare,” which inspired him to build Briefpoint. Nathan’s goal with Briefpoint is to “eliminate discovery off the face of the earth” by automating the discovery document drafting process. Briefpoint saves litigators’ time and brings justice to their clients.
Lindsay Kim Chung, CEO of TensorCase, is our guest in Episode 134. Most legal technology services cater to attorneys, but we rarely hear about tools for other legal professionals, like investigators. Before she became an entrepreneur, Lindsay was a lawyer and corporate investigator. She found herself facetiously commiserating with her colleagues, wishing there was an efficient way to manage evidence and draft reports. So, Lindsay built TensorCase, a “thinking partner” for investigators.
In Episode 135, Director of Policy at The Digital Chamber, Jonathan Schmalfeld, shared his experience in blockchain advocacy. He was an attorney specializing in trade secret litigation. As a crypto enthusiast himself, he entered the digital asset space professionally while working on NFT trademark and consumer protection cases. Jonathan now lobbies for policies, like the GENIUS Act, to Congress to make digital assets more accessible to the public.
Mathew Kerbis, a.k.a “The Subscription Attorney,” podcast aficionado, and Practi founder, talks to Nick and Hana about how AI is breaking the billable hour on Episode 136. Because tools like Harvey and Legora shorten the time it takes to complete legal work, the billable hour model isn’t ethically or financially sensible. Wanting to drive systemic change, Mathew built Practi, an easy-to-build subscription-based billing system for solo practice and small law firms.
Episode 137 features Chris Ford, co-founder and CXO of Legaltech Hub. His marketing expertise complements the entrepreneurial mind of CEO Nicole (Nikki) Shaver, who also happens to be his wife. We LOVE love in legal tech! LegalTech Hub has transformed from a COVID side project into a functioning media and insights business with 30+ team members, 3,000+ listed legal technology tools, and dozens of events led by Chris. He also shares priceless marketing advice founders should hear.
It’s not often we cover legal operations on the show, but we believe in highlighting all legal professionals. Episode 138 highlights Cheyenne Gabourel-Moseley, the Legal Operations Director at Rasa. After spending 21 years at LegalZoom, starting in customer service and finishing as director of an entire division, she left to join Rasa. Rasa helps people expunge their criminal records and provide freedom as a service. Cheyenne details the day-in-the-life of a legal operations professional.
Erich Dylus’ unique background as a programmer and solo-practice attorney helped him create CamoText. In Episode 139, he shares the obvious and latent privacy risks that AI poses, and how attorneys could inadvertently breach the attorney-client privilege. CamoText anonymizes personally identifiable information (PII), such as names, locations, and financial account details, in documents. Attorneys can then run the documents in their AI tool of choice.
