Are you a firm owner looking to integrate technology into your business? In this episode, host Tyson has a conversation with Dr. Cain Elliott, the Chief Legal Futurist at Filevine, about the evolving landscape of legal technology. Dr. Elliott discusses his role in developing innovative legal tools, emphasizing the importance of historical trends and user feedback in shaping future advancements.
As technology develops, the legal space can lean on it to create better processes and ways of working. Dr. Elliott shares some insight on how to develop legal tools while meeting client demands. It is important to understand what you want out of a legal tool. Are you looking for a tool that fits within a specific infrastructure? Do you want a tool that creates a better flow for communication or client intake? This has to be understood from both the firm and the technology company that is helping design or manage a tool.
Dr. Elliott delves into the importance of those in the technology space to think about what can be done to raise standards or help outcomes. For most law firms, this is what legal tools and technology are used for. There might be conflicts within firms or even between a firm and a company as ideas are flowing or tools are being created. This is a core value that technology companies need to have as they go through the process of developing legal tools.
