Is legal tech approaching a tipping point? And how much can products actually impact the way in-house lawyers work?

Derek Southall is the Founder and CEO of digital advisory business, the Hyperscale Group. He previously spent over 24 years at Gowling WLG, latterly as Head of Innovation and Digital. In this video, Derek speaks with Ben about the landscape of legal tech where products on the market now have the ability to materially change the way that lawyers work.

“We’re living through a time of unprecedented opportunity.”

However, Derek also discusses the difficulty posed to General Counsel and other buyers by the range of options to buy, most of which require extensive integration and implementation work, and the threat to legal tech from less function-specific technology platforms.
