Fringe Legal S2.E1 Maya Markovich of Dentons Nextlaw Labs on Catalyzing Innovation
Welcome to the 2nd season of the Fringe Legal podcast. In the first episode we speak with the Maya Markovich, Head of Product at Dentons Nextlaw Labs.
The core theme of the episode is all around innovation; we cover three broad categories:
- The 3 different pillars of NextLaw labs, and how innovation can take the robot out of the lawyer
- How do you catalyze innovation? What that means, and the importance of becoming the connective tissue across the firm/business
- Impact of legal tech on access to justice
Thanks to Maya for taking the time, and also to Isabella Galeno (who’s featured later in the season) for introducing me to Maya.
