Legal tech is over-hyped
By Anders Spile. Legal tech is overrated. That is probably a surprising statement coming from a legal tech and innovation consultant who works in a successful Scandinavian legal tech company.

The shape of lawyers in the future: T, O or Delta?
By Peter Connor Living and working as a lawyer in the US, Asia, Europe and Australia for over 30 years, my legal knowledge and skills were the foundation of my career. But, more than anything, it was a range of non-legal skills and competencies that really helped me to change the way I worked.
