Show Notes
In a change of pace for our show, we do not cover a legaltech startup in this episode. Instead, we take a look at The Effectiveness Project, which is a legal technology collaboration through the Legal Technology Core Competencies Certification Coalition and a variety of legal technology vendors. The Effectiveness Project is an international working group of legal professionals, with support from LTC4, collaborating to establish best practices and baseline skills for creating effective legal documents. They are focusing, at present, on what is called Document Competency. The first release from The Effectiveness Project, is the Document Competency Best Practices Guide. This guide is free and can be downloaded right now. See the link below. The Best Practices Guide was created with the understanding that the legal document-creation process is highly individualized. As such, The Effectiveness Project sought to provide guidance that is specific, yet flexible. To meet that goal, the Best Practices Guide is divided into drafting stages so it can be used as a modular part of a workflow. Two participants in the collaboration are friends, and former guests, of LegalTechLIVE. They joined us to describe the goals and mission of The Effectiveness Project. Ivy Grey is the Vice President of Strategy and Business Development at Wordrake. Ivy has been the driving force behind the effort to improve efficiency and effectiveness of document creation through The Effectiveness Project. Chris Cangero is the Chief Executive Officer of DocStyle, LLC and another of the leading voices behind push for better document creation via The Effectiveness Project. Take a listen and download the Best Practices Guide. Connect with our guests and get involved!

What does it take to go from a small town near Cologne, Germany to General Counsel at one of the most interesting AI companies in the Bay Area? Hanna Steinbach, General Counsel at Harness, joins LegalTechLIVE to share a wealth of information about how law differs around the world and what she values in her in-house role. After studying international business in Vienna, a contracts law class set her life’s trajectory towards starting a career in antitrust law. After working at Freshfields, Baker McKenzie, and the World Intellectual Property Organization under the United Nations as a diplomat, Hanna spent a defining 10 years at Medallia for her first in-house job. Her time at the company involved hypergrowth periods, an IPO, going private, and many different CEO changes. This experience shaped how she runs her legal department today at Harness. Hanna shares her thoughts on why she thinks engineering guardrails matter more than legal ones when agents start acting autonomously and where liability currently lands, how to sell to a GC, and the gaps nobody in legal tech is solving. Get to know Hanna by watching this episode, and tune in to her AILBA panel with Jyoti Bandal (Harness/Traceable/AppDynamics), Nidhi Agarwal (HackerOne), and others on October 28!

Our industry is constantly hearing about healthy, steady, emerging, and failing legal tech companies, but few of us understand growth (or lack thereof) on a granular level. That’s where Legalcomplex comes in. Hailing from Suriname and the Netherlands, Raymond Blyd’s database of 31,000 legal tech companies tracks raised funds and employee retention, and the numbers speak volumes (but you’ll have to tune in to find out more). Raymond has tracked legal tech companies since 2015, so he’s coming in with all the receipts. In this 50-minute conversation, Nick and Raymond also cover whether legal tech is in an AI spending bubble, why lawyers can’t quit AI, what Anthropic understands about power that Google can’t, the nitty-gritty of token economics, and the one layer of legal practice no model will ever touch. You’ll also learn about Raymond’s journey taking a Waymo from San Francisco to Apple HQ, excitement for the upcoming Theranos documentary, and nonexistent relationship with horror movies. This conversation will certainly keep you on your toes! Get to know Raymond, hear what keeps him up at night, and listen to his legal tech hot takes in Episode 153!

Joining us on LegalTechLIVE is Sona Sulakian, VP of AI Products at Filevine, co-founder of Pincites (now Lois), and, as Nick describes, a “legal-tech heavyweight.” We were all especially excited to bond over our shared Middle Eastern roots and love for legal technology. Here’s some background on this episode. Sona began her career as an M&A and patent litigation attorney at a BigLaw firm. She left her secure job to create an AI contract negotiation startup called Pincites with her sister Maryan, a former Facebook and GitHub engineer (and yes, Mom was HR). The two went through Y Combinator, built a Word add-in for AI-powered redlining and playbooks, grew a loyal customer base, and ultimately got acquired by Filevine, which happened to be one of their best customers. After the acquisition, Sona and Mariam are now both at Filevine, and Pincites was rebranded to Lois, Filevine’s approach to enterprise knowledge, orchestration, and AI agents for legal drafting. Throughout the conversation, we discovered that Sona almost didn’t leave her career, the pros and cons of working with family, what the acquisition felt like, the feedback received from trusted colleagues, and her thoughts on confidently making decisions. Get to know Sona, her founder journey, what Filevine is up to, and the Bay Area trains in Episode 152.
