hen you see a pile of horse$#/+, do you look for the pony? Not to compare
"disruption" to the aforementioned scat, but NOT looking for the positives in
disruption means missing great opportunities. Olenick and ILTA are both
searching out the ponies and making strides to change the ongoing technolo dialogue related to
disruption. And we're doing that by asking the right questions around disruption.
Top Three Disrupters?
At ILTACON Europe and in a workshop with Ulster University, we asked what the top three
disrupters to the legal industry will be in the near term. Smart money is betting on:
• Accepting machine-based decisions for dispute resolution
• Provision of Legal Services in a cashless economy
• Software being used to choose outside counsel and control legal spend
