Legal technology is really on their minds now – and maybe all the stories about big valuations, IPOs, and the constant drumbeat of « innovation, innovation, innovation » have made them feel like « they have to do something »? That means the partners don`t know exactly what to do here, but $10 million is a small price to pay for investing in legal technology in a very remarkable and newsworthy way. They can also appear to new hires as if they were « in » when it comes to innovation, and Coleman alludes to that. He said, « We will continue to position McDermott as a leading career accelerator in the legal industry. » That is, like everyone else right now, they`re focused on retaining young talent. Some involvement in technology can help improve the look here. Zach Posner, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of TLTF, added: « The LegalTech Fund invests in companies that change the legal world. We see the legal industry intersecting with the financial, regulatory, consumer, privacy and technology industries, which means the legal industry is a critical pivot for many businesses and individuals. Social media has rapidly evolved from a personal connection to a primary medium for business, advertising, marketing, promotion, communication, and reputation/brand management. The opportunities arising from these new technologies come with equally daunting challenges and uncertainties. We help our clients develop and implement practical solutions that help them manage online and social media platforms and presences, respond to claims, complaints and regulatory actions, and better understand and comply with user-centric standards, new laws, cooperative self-government and regulatory oversight. Given the wide range of issues arising from social media participation, we draw on the experience and knowledge of lawyers in technology, business, intellectual property, employment and employment law, litigation and dispute resolution, and other key practice areas of the firm to help clients safely seize opportunities in this environment. Part of the clue lies in this comment from WWE President Ira Coleman, who said, « We`re always working to look beyond the horizon for our client — this time through a very crowded legal tech landscape. » McDermott Will & Emery announced Wednesday a $10 million investment in a venture capital fund focused on legal technology to drive innovation that advances the interests of the firm`s clients.
Our group includes lawyers with extensive experience advising start-ups, Fortune 50 technology companies, and domestic and multinational corporations. We have structured, negotiated and executed multi-billion dollar transactions for clients in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Africa. Perhaps most importantly, we have deep experience with our technology customers` unique products and services and the technologies and topics that matter most to today`s businesses. The LegalTech fund covers the entire legal technology ecosystem – from enterprise software solutions for international law firms, to software clients use to manage and structure their agreement data, to consumer-facing applications. The fund invests in start-ups (from inception to Series B), typically from $250,000 to $1 million. This information can then be used by the company to make its own purchasing and innovation decisions, but it can also be used to help with those awkward customer conversations when the customer asks, « So, uh. Legal Tech …..? What does your company do? Shawn Helms manages an impressive range of BPO, ITO and licensing agreements, many of which involve cross-border aspects.

He is co-responsible for the practice of technology and outsourcing. He is a creative problem solver and solution-oriented thinker with a hands-on approach.
It focuses on issues that are really important to the company. » Buyer + Seller Work – Most law firm technology practices deal with the work of the buyer or supplier, but we go for both and bring that dual capability to market. Our experience on both sides of the fence gives us a competitive edge and allows us to offer constructive solutions that work for both parties. Healthcare outsourcing – McDermott has the strongest practice in the U.S. of advising healthcare providers on outsourcing transactions, particularly outsourcing revenue cycle management (where healthcare providers outsource payment and billing functions). The company is ideally positioned to handle these transactions as we have the best healthcare practice in the U.S. and understand the nuances of this highly regulated industry. Blockchain outsourcing – McDermott is ahead of the competition when it comes to advising on cutting-edge technology projects such as the growing use of blockchain. After a wave of automation and artificial intelligence, the promise of blockchain has been talked about for years, but now it`s becoming an enterprise solution.
