“For an Open #LegalTech! »

On the occasion of the 3rd edition of the LegalTech village, Jarvis Legal is organizing the conference “For an Open LegalTech:” this Tuesday, November 27 at the LegalTech village in the company of numerous representatives of LegalTech & the world of law.

Between legal expertise and technology, LegalTech contributes to the modernization of justice and the improvement of access to the law.

However, today technological solutions or innovations are designed and built in isolation, limiting synergies and other development potential with other players in the LegalSphere.

LegalTech must above all think of itself as an ecosystem of tools and services available for the modernization of law. It must be built in the form of an open and connected ecosystem both between technological experts but also with legal actors.

After the introduction of our Great Witness, Master Mamadou Konate, former Minister of Justice of Mali, OHADA expert and Managing Partner of the firm Jurifis Consult, our guests will speak on the following topics:

LegalTech & Legal Expertise: modernizing the profession means facilitating access to the law.

  • How do technological solutions help to facilitate access to the law for litigants?
  • LegalTech & Lawyers, Artificial Confrontation or Fruitful Opposition?

Will participate in this first discussion:

  • Anne-Sophie Reynaud, responsible for business development for eJust, an online arbitration platform.
  • Maître Antoine Gravereaux, Partner at Staub & Associés & Data Legal Drive, GDPR governance platform.
  • Rémi Ramondou, Marketing Director at ELS Dalloz, leader in professional and academic legal publishing.

The importance of an open and communicative technological ecosystem.

  • The need for technological expertise in the legal ecosystem.
  • Interoperability and Transversality, how do technological players multiply the value provided to legal professionals?

Will participate in this second discussion:

  • Christophe Lemée, Co-founder of DeepBlock, blockchain technology for legal matters.
  • Thomas Saint-Aubin, Managing Director of Seraphin Legal, development of tailor-made Legal Tech for augmented lawyers.
  • Martin Bussy, Managing Director and Co-founder of Jarvis Legal, an online law firm management solution.

The Benefits of Working on Mac for Law Firms

In the United States, nearly 60% of lawyers already using Mac in 2013. In France, only 40% of lawyers converted to the famous Apple brand computer. Why this difference and what are the advantages of using an Apple computer for your practice? Here are 3 arguments that will convince you to put your old PC in the closet!

A high price but a profitable investment

The argument often put forward by detractors of the Macintosh is its price, which is often much higher than its direct Windows competitors in the same range.

However, over time, the Apple computer turns out to be much more profitable than a Windows computer. In fact, the average lifespan of a PC is a maximum of 5 years!

Macs are a lot more resistant as time passes. They finally reveal themselves less expensive to maintain than Windows PCs: fewer bugs, crashes, viruses too and therefore risk of data loss. With them, you can forget the number of your computer repairer.

A high-performance and ever more secure computer

Macs are known for their increased security. Even if today, with the increase in cyber-attacks and the regular discovery of security vulnerabilities, we must not delude ourselves that all computers are vulnerable.

In reality, it's not that a Mac computer is more secure, but it is less targeted by attacks due to its low number of users which makes planning an attack less “profitable” for hackers.

In addition, well known also for its closed system and integrated, the Mac is much more difficult to access for fraud.

Add to that technological performance often advanced compared to other manufacturers, you get a safe and reliable machine.

Don't forget to add a anti-virus for greater caution and you will be assured that your data is well guarded and secure. If it is estimated that around 90% of businesses use Mac, it is not for nothing!

Software compatibility issues overcome by the cloud

Last contentious point, software compatibility problems, and in particular, legal software. Indeed, many software programs are not compatible with Mac and simply do not exist on Mac or are sold at prohibitive prices.

Here you have 3 options. First, you can install a Windows machine on your Mac, sacrilege for some, fallback solution for others. Second possibility, you can use the software present on your Mac, that is to say look for ersatz which will replace, perhaps in a less complete way, your favorite software under Windows.

Finally, last and probably best option, you can turn to a platform like Jarvis Legal.

In this case, no more problems with incompatible software: all your daily work tools are on the cloud.

In addition, this type of hosted solution is simple, complete and easily accessible wherever you are. Thanks to them, you have the advantage of mobile solutions and powerful with the high performance of a Mac.

Be careful, however, of certain hosted solutions which are not completely compatible with your Mac and prevent you from taking advantage of all its possibilities.

Today the best option on the market is to turn to Jarvis Who is here only 100% Mac compatible solution.

Switching to Mac requires above all changing your habits: different keyboard, new environment, etc. Don't worry, however, the Mac environment is sufficiently intuitive and ergonomic for you to quickly get used to these changes.

And above all, it is verified and proven: many users who switched to Mac never returned to Windows!
