The Emergence of Legal Tech in Malaysia

I spoke with Soon Yi Loo, the co-founder and CEO of CanLaw Asia, a legal tech consultancy for law firms and corporate legal departments in Malaysia. He is also the creator of the LexTech conference, which is an event focused on educating legal professionals in Malaysia about how to enhance their practices through technology. We discussed the genesis of CanLaw Asia and the LexTech conference, how legal technology is perceived in Malaysia, the most popular type of legal technology in the country, whether lawyers in Malaysia are receptive to the application of technology to their practices, where the legal tech sector in Malaysia is headed.
