If it feels like there’s more law firm-developed tech platforms than ever, there’s probably a simple reason for that: They’re getting easier to design and launch. Just ask Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner (BCLP), which Thursday announced that the firm’s innovative high-volume legal services business BCLP Cubed entered into a partnership with “low-code” software platform Mendix. The partnership will see BCLP Cubed expanding its use of Mendix in the development of legal delivery technology solutions.

To be sure, the firm is not just looking to tap into Mendix’s technology. It’s also betting that a low-coding platform can foster faster, and more collaborative, technology development. It’s a new paradigm separated from how development happened in the not-too-distant past, and with any luck, it just might keep pace with clients’ fast-evolving needs.
