We want Casetext to be judged on its merits. Legaltech Hub levels the playing field, allowing attorneys and executives to objectively evaluate what we do.

At the Digital Legal Exchange, we work with the legal functions of some of the world's leading corporations to help them accelerate their digital transformation. Technology is a critical part of the toolkit. Legaltech Hub provides independent guidance and information to help corporate legal teams evaluate their options and inform their purchase decisions.

My Reed Smith colleagues and I have used Legaltech Hub to identify current providers of technology solutions. It is really helpful to view all the tools in one place, consistently categorised by solution type and key features.

Our involvement with LegalTech Hub has given us many leads and created speaking opportunities. The value of LTH goes way beyond a listing and leverages Nikki’s and Jeroen’s vast network.

A decade ago, it was reasonably easy to keep on top of what legaltech products were out there. No longer! Nikki, Jeroen, and team have built a comprehensive resource that legaltech buyers can use to find tech meeting their needs, and where vendors can get information in front of prospects at the relevant moment. Worthwhile offering from a respected (and excellent) group of people!

Fireman &amp; Company's clients expect us to be current on the latest innovative technology solutions. It used to be difficult to navigate the legaltech market and explore new tools and platforms. Legaltech Hub changed that - I now have one place to go where I can easily find all the information I need.

The legal tech industry is moving at such a fast pace and a big part of my job is to stay on top of it all. Legaltech Hub is my go-to resource for any research I need to do on new companies and products.

Document automation software helps a lawyer draft documents faster and more consistently. There are two types: 1. Q&amp;A based where a user answers a series of questions (e.g., when drafting an employment agreement: name of employee, salary, non-compete yes or no and if yes for how long, place of work etc.) and the system inserts the answers into a template creating a complete document ready for signature. The industry standards for this are Contract Express and Hotdocs. Successful new entrants in the space include Avokka and Clarilis. 2. Clause-based document assembly: by selecting clauses, the user builds a document to their needs. Clausebase and Draftwise are examples.

Document Automation

Many automation tools, including expert systems and chatbots, allow for the development of apps. This category is reserved for those solutions that do not fit neatly into other automation categories, where the main capability is nevertheless the development of applications. A category leader is Fliplet, a pre-fab app development solution that provides the ability to easily create apps and knowledge delivery systems using templates and discrete widgets such as for benchmarking. Tools such as ServiceNow and Mendix also allow for custom app development.

App Development

Process improvement starts with the process (a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end) - not with technology. Once a process has been evaluated and optimized, however, significant additional efficiency gains can be made by introducing automation. Solutions that allow for process automation have proliferated, and now include expert systems tools such as Neota Logic and Bryter, full digital operations automation systems like Autologyx, Mendix and Tonkean that allow for the end-to-end automation of operational workflows and integration of data sources, chatbots like Joseph, and robotic process automation using Blue Prism or K2 by Nintex.
