It doesn’t take a financial expert to see that legal technology is a hot market, with some estimates placing legal tech investment above $1.2 billion. However, there’s no guarantee that those technologies will succeed—companies and law firms alike need more than just money to stand out and grow, after all. With industry shifts and M&A activity continuing at a rapid pace, staying on top of all the new legal technology products may be near impossible to master. But for many law firms out there, it’s a necessary task in the face of a changing industry.

As part of the run-up to Legalweek 2020, Legaltech News is chatting with a number of speakers from this year’s sessions to know. Today’s Q&A is with James Goodnow, president and managing partner at Fennemore Craig. His Legaltech session “With Over $1B in VC Capital, Are We on the Verge of Another Tech Bubble?” will take place on Tuesday, February 4, at 3:30 p.m.
