"Legal Tech, More Than Hype?" with Prof. Leo Staub and Gerard Neiditsch

When one reads the press on digitalisation and the impact of Legal Tech on our future of legal services, it is difficult to fully grasp whether what the journalists and technologists are talking about is pure hype or part reality.

We are all keenly aware that technology impacts almost everything in our daily lives – yet the legal industry has for so long been isolated from digitisation that we are tempted to regard Legal Tech as hype or fad. Others want to make us believe that Legal Tech will change everything – AI robots will replace lawyers, big data will make legal research a thing of the past, block chain will automate contracts to the point where there lawyers will no longer be needed for common legal transactions.

In other words - there is so much hype and innuendo that it’s sometimes difficult to tell the wood from the trees. This webinar will be a unique opportunity to hear directly from two experts with a long track record in legal about Legal Tech. They will also give hints at how we can improve our own understanding and apply this knowledge to our organisations.

In this HSG webinar, Prof. Leo Staub and Gerard Neiditsch discuss the likely impact of LegalTech and the benefits of Legal Tech knowledge for lawyers and others involved in management and technology at law firms and inhouse legal teams.
