Automates #12 - The one from the Windy City

Our guest this episode is Jason Dirkx, Director of Practice Technology Solutions at Paul Hastings. Jason offers some excellent insights into the law firm/tech vendor relationship and the optimal set up for a law firm's tech & innovation department.

Some snippets:

• Contrary to popular opinion, lawyers don't need to learn to code or prompt, leave it to the experts!
• The law firm of the future recognises cross-discipline expertise
• Don't think of the relationship as client and vendor, think of it as a partnership
• Startups and tech companies don't always have to focus on growth at all costs
• Innovation teams aren't a deliberate blocker to successful legal tech sales
