Episode 14 of the Legal Tech StartUp Focus Podcast -- Interview with James Quinn, Co-founder and CEO of Clarilis

In this episode of the Legal Tech StartUp Focus Podcast (www.legaltechstartupfocus.com/podcast), podcast host, Charlie Uniman, interviews James Quinn, co-founder and CEO of document automation startup, Clarilis (www.clarilis.com).

Charlie and James discuss: (i) James' transition from corporate lawyering at Slaughter and May in London to co-founding Clarilis, (ii) how Clarilis' technology nvolves automating the preparation of a suite of highly complex documents (i.e., those with provisions that themselves consist of many "moving parts" that articulate with complicated logic), (iii) the emphasis that Clarilis places on using a very "hands on" customer-success approach by having its team of technologists and lawyers help its law firm and legal department customers to implement the Clarilis technology (thereby driving long-term customer adoption and avoiding the "shelf-ware" fate often suffered by legal tech), (iv) James' and his team's very positive involvement with Slaughter and May's "Collaborate" startup incubator, (v) the impact that the COVID-19 crisis has had on Clarilis' business and (vi) the biggest "mindset" adjustment James had to make in moving from practicing law at a Magic Circle law firm to managing a legal tech startup.
