Take a look at our curated list of legal tech blogs and podcasts that give you access to expert knowledge and insights.
Knowledge is power
Legal tech is a fast moving sector, with new technology and capabilities surfacing at regular intervals. As a result there’s a lot of noise about what can and can’t be achieved with technology, so it helps to know where to go to get the best information. This in turn will help you better understand the world of legal tech and gain the maximum benefit from it.
While we consider ourselves a vital source of knowledge, we thought we would share some of the other blogs and resources that exist elsewhere. We hope that you find something of interest that helps demystify the jargon and bring you all the information you require.
Here, we round up our 10 most recommendable resources for you.
