When discussing legal technology, it’s easy to go overboard in detailing a platform’s potential. UnitedLex CEO Dan Reed noticed some of this at Legalweek 2018, where he described solutions and ideas circulating the conference as “a mix” between the innovative and typical.

On the one hand, Reed said, there are vendors “promising significant advancement in artificial intelligence” and similar technologies. But, he cautioned, while “those kinds of technologies make sense when you’re dealing with large volumes of data” leveraging technology toward “more nuanced and more layered kinds of decision making” is “kind of a ways away from being relevant.”
