What does it take to build a LegalTech startup in Law School?
As an industry, LegalTech has only started to scratch the surface, and many valuable companies at the intersection of software and law have yet to be built. With benefits and opportunities abound, LegalTech has captured the attention of the legal industry and beyond. As legal continues to move towards the introduction and adoption of new technologies to improve the provision of legal services, legal practice and access to justice, not only existing legal and other professionals but law students too have become increasingly interested to capture a piece of this growing field of opportunity and source of a much needed transformation. But what does it take to build a LegalTech startup in law school?
An example of a LegalTech startup built in Law School is Evisort. Evisort is an AI-powered contract management company founded in 2016 by Harvard Law and MIT graduates to develop AI algorithms to help companies mine contracts for data. Evisort is on a mission to help organizations sell, buy, hire, and operate more safely and efficiently from one intelligent operating system. With Evisort, tedious manual but necessary processes around deal-making are automated so that contracting teams can focus on accelerating their business without sacrificing quality, speed, or their nights and weekends. As such, Evisort aims to improve the lives and effectiveness of every person that touches contracts and increase the speed of agreement.
In this episode of The Law of Tech Podcast, I discussed the process and experience of building a LegalTech startup in Law School with Memme Onwudiwe, Harvard Law School graduate and Executive Vice President at Evisort Inc.
