Let me know if you have any specific questions I may be able to help.
The incumbent PMS and DMS vendors have the market captured for large law firms and the systems are generally slow and expensive to change, but smaller ones have more saas options and smaller ones move quicker.
There is a lot going on in legal ops, innovation and newlaw- things like eDiscovery tools for forensics of new data types - social media, audio and video etc. there’s ML contract review, there’s workflow apps, docusigning, relativity, nuix ….
In general IT space Le firms are slowly moving to cloud so there’s the whole azure, aws piece, other adjacencies like auth (eg. Okta)
There’s also the blockchain hype.. smart legal contracts, lawyers who can code etc
Lots of technology innovation going on in this space
