The 2nd edition of the Legaltech Village will take place on December 6 & 7, 2017 at the Docks de Paris, in Aubervilliers.
On this occasion, we will host on Thursday December 7 at 15:30 p.m. a conférence titled: “Put legaltech at the heart of your firm thanks to platform software”. You can register here.
Here is a preview of the plan for this workshop.
Digitalization and Legaltech: opportunities for the law firm
Digital technology brings enormous changes to all economic, social and human sectors. We can cite a large number of truly new products or services. Legaltech is one of its variations for the legal sector and, there too, the situation is exciting.
The presence of Jarvis Legal in 27 countries around the world and particularly in the United States allows us to bring back numerous experiences and numerous examples of successes and innovations from around the world.
Through numerous examples, we will discuss with you the variety and quality of the solutions present on the market. It is also the ambition of the Legaltech Village to show the advantages of legaltech.
Strategically, digitalization and legaltech are clearly opportunities for law firms. It is essential to feel involved because it is now that these changes are taking place and the opportunities are greatest. However, the reality is not the strategic vision. The risks should not be underestimated.
The lawyer facing the risks, limits, difficulty of technological choices
The risks, limits and difficulties should not be minimized. The technological choices made by the different publishers or economic players are therefore important.
Let us cite for example the lack of unity between the different tools, making widespread use within the firm difficult. Or the promise of ease and the difficulty of daily use.
On the security side, the GDPR prevents the use of a large number of solutions, from the most common (Dropbox, Gmail, WeTransfer) to the most complex (is ROSS compliant with the legislation?).
Being dependent on proprietary software is a risk. In these times of openness and rapid change, how can we be a prisoner of an environment (Microsoft for example) and its technical or strategic choices (dialogue with Google solutions, make tools dialogue with each other)?
Freedom, Agility, Sustainability
This is why the notion of platform software is essential. Thanks to appropriate technology, you can benefit from a true open API, allowing all of the firm's software tools to interact. Scalability now but also in the future when a new tool comes to the market and it is also connected to the API.
Everyone can connect freely from their equipment, free of charge and without difficulty. Collaboration and networking is really facilitated, inside and outside the office. It is agility that takes precedence and allows for permanent adaptation.
The applications being integrated at Jarvis Legal, for example, are numerous and offer law firms access to a true software ecosystem, unified and easy to use.
It is therefore a real strategic advantage that platform software confers. In this way, the opportunities of legaltech are exploited while the risks are reduced. It is the ideal tool to put legaltech at the heart of your firm.
