Adam Kerpelman and Ethan Mackay are brothers and partners of Juris. Juris is building the next evolution of dispute resolution and legal tools. They think technology should allow people to do more without a lawyer, and allow lawyers and counselors to do even more for their clients. In this episode, we focus on one specific tool -- DebtLetter. If you are being harassed by debt collectors, we can help. DebtLetter is a tool built by a team of programmers and lawyers to help you respond to debt collectors in as little as 5 minutes at a cost of only $9. This week we were joined by guest co-host Diego Alcala, located in Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico had just avoided a direct impact by Hurricane Dorian. More about Juris: https://getjuris.com/debt.

Cognition IP is a new-style law firm that helps clients more efficiently create and file patents and deal with other kinds of patent and intellectual property law. But instead of relying on the endless man hours for lawyers trying to figure out if a patent is already out there, Cognition IP leans on algorithms to create a kind of topic graph around a subject and see if anyone's filed something on it already. We had a nice conversation with Bryant Lee and Andrew Tjang, the founders of the firm and legal technology company. Cognition IP is a YCombinator alum and recent recipient of $2.8M in seed funding. Learn more about them in this interview. We were joined once again by Hannah Konitshek of Legal.io, as our starring co-host. In fact, the idea to interview Cognition IP came from Hannah!

Founded in 2016, dealcloser was created and developed by two corporate lawyers who wanted to make the transaction process more efficient. They were frustrated that such a huge and integral process was undertaken manually amidst all of the other technology available. Almost every other aspect of modern business can now be managed by a mobile device but clients participating in legal transactions still had to print documents to sign them, or physically come to their law firm to sign each document. Lawyers still had to track almost all aspects of a deal manually. As a result, dealcloser's co-founders started dealcloser with one thing in mind: to provide lawyers with a better way to do transactions that would benefit them and their clients. In Episode 53, we're joined by Amir Reshef, CEO of dealcloser. He tells us all about his experience as a corporate transactional attorney and the personal pain points he experienced. Those pain points led to the development of dealcloser.
