I'm still coming off my high from last week's Association of Legal Administrators (ALA) Annual Conference! We had so many great conversations. Two of my favorite soundbites came during future-proofing conversations (paraphrased): - Shift Shareholders' mindset from technology being a CAPEX to an OPEX expenditure as technology becomes more critical to winning every day as a law firm. - Take control of your technology. Do not wait until your legacy technology vendors force you to switch or upgrade. Be proactive and do it on your timeline. How to operate a winning law firm is changing quickly, and leaning on your peers within the ALA is a great way to stay ahead of the curve. I can't wait to continue the conversation in small groups throughout June as we host future-proofing roundtables for Firm Administrators in Chicago, Boston, and Houston! If you'd like an invite, shoot me a DM. Finally, I had to post this funny picture of myself speaking at Amanda's reception. I'm in full 90s gear and ready to go!

When I'm asked where to get inspiration for Legal Tech products, I always say: if it's B2C, search in China or the USA; if it's B2B, explore the Baltics. Today we discussed why with incredible panelists Aidas Kavalis, Ansis Spridzans and Valentin Feklistov during the European Legal Technology Association (ELTA) Live event, which I had the pleasure of moderating. 😊 Here's a small promo of the discussion: the Baltic Legal Tech market is the perfect sandbox with many advantages, important lessons that other countries can learn, and a specific technical ecosystem that shows impressive results. More details we highlighted during event 🫡 So I highly recommend you to check it out if you missed the live stream, and it would also be interesting to hear which markets you use for inspection and analysis in your Legal Tech activities 🧐
