Vol. 5 | *deep breaths* Hello 2021

Hey there,

First off, happy, happy new year. While literally nobody wants to look back at last year, I came across some articles that spoke about the most consequential developments that happened. Have a read, and find out how and why this will shape 2021 for us:

• 20 for 2020: The Legaltech Trends that Defined the Year, by everyone’s favourite blogger, Robert Ambrogi.
• Legal Industry Trends for 2021, as the tectonic shift from 2020 brings in its own superpowers (and challenges.)
• The Geek in Review Ep. 99 – The Who, What, and Why of #LegalTech with Kristin Hodgins and Jason Wilson. I loved this personally, because it goes into why legaltech has the same folks involved in discussions.

I am a big fan of a proper contract management system - it really is smart work over hard work. But I am a bigger fan of those who do more with less.

“The silver lining of 2020 is that we have been forced to consider changes that were long overdue and then given the opportunity to implement those changes. We will all be beneficiaries of these changes – but those who will benefit the most are those the legal system is meant to serve.”
- Robert Ambrogi
