The legal industry is often thought to be hostile to the idea of new technology, some believing it will swoop in on their jobs. Others, however, are coping with new demands to adopt technology into their practice by keeping their friends close and their technologists closer.
London-based global law firm Fieldfisher recently contributed to a £1 million investment round for SeedLegals, an online platform enabling startups to create and negotiate their own fundraising round legal documents. While the investment does not guarantee the firm an advisory role within SeedLegals, it does give it a stake in its development and a closer eye on its role in the industry.
