Our Thinking

Leigh Vickery, our Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer, speaks with Kathryn Rubino, Senior Editor at Above the Law, and host of The Jabot podcast.

A couple of weeks ago, I talked with Kevin Kiley, Chief Revenue Officer of OneTrust, on a session Level Legal sponsored with Buying Legal called “The Great Legal Shift of 2021: Procurement’s Role in Adding Value to the Business Bottom Line.” If you missed it, be sure to check it out online.

CEO Joey Seeber writes, “Even before the COVID-19 crisis struck, clients were demanding improved efficiency, predictability and cost-effectiveness from their legal partners.”

Bleeding Edge is a podcast series from ILTA (International Legal Technology Association), tackling timely and interesting topics in legal technology. Kicking off season 2, our CEO Joey Seeber talks about the ever-shifting landscape of legaltech.

Artificial Lawyer spoke with Level Legal’s Leigh Vickery and other legal experts about 2021 predictions: What a year it has been! Even beyond the impacts of the pandemic there have been plenty of significant changes in the legal tech sector and across the legal world as a whole. But what of next year? What will 2021 bring?

Level Legal’s Leigh Vickery writes, “The compliance and eDiscovery tools that we work with are better across the board, but many in the legal industry (clients and vendors alike) continue to be hamstrung by outdated workflows and practices. That includes volume-based pricing, which inherently assumes all gigabytes or units are the same.”

Level Legal’s Leigh Vickery blogs about Twitter’s new feature “Fleet,” and some of the privacy and harassment risks hidden in this ephemeral feature launched to compete with Instagram’s “stories.”

Even before the global pandemic, data collection, processing, review, and production faced significant challenges from both volume and complexity. Since then, we’ve seen an additional layer of complexity with budget freezes and corporate and law firm behavior drastically altered. Meanwhile, tech-enabled information-growth has continued its limitless expansion – fueled by a scattered workforce increasingly reliant on remote platforms and personal devices to do business.

Daniel Bonner, Director of Client Solutions, offers his insight at the end of 2020, and the end of many practices we all thought were temporary.

Law company Level Legal is focused on giving legal and corporate customers the best possible solutions, simply, efficiently, and for the best value. As the Level Legal leader and CEO, Joey Seeber is focused on results and leading with optimism.
