Ep 034: Alternative Legal Models Panel Discussion

Not all law firms are equal. In fact, some of them are drastically different from one another. As technology becomes even more pervasive in the legal industry, the industry is changing and reacting. This week, we share a special live panel discussion from UC Hastings’ legal innovation hub, LexLab. The panelists spoke to an audience of legal tech startups, students, and legal professionals on some of the factors and considerations driving change in the law firm model. Panelists speaking in this week’s episode are: Augie Rakow of Atrium LLP; Sameena Kluck, previously of Thomson Reuters; Nick Long, Director of Gravity Stack at Reed Smith LLP; and Patrick Palace, of Palace Law. The discussion is moderated by Alice Armitage, professor and Director of Applied Innovation at UC Hastings, and CEP of LexLab. The panel was recorded as part of the LexLab Lunch-and-Learn speaker series. LexLab is an innovation hub within UC Hastings, which is building a concentration in law and technology for students, and an accelerator for legal tech startups.
