It is important to understand how exponential technologies, including AI, blockchain and cloud computing augment and empower the legal industry. This seminar covers 1) top exponential technologies impacting the future of law, with a focus on AI/big data, blockchain and cloud computing, 2) how these exponential technologies have been leveraged by some of the most promising legal tech startups (with a focus on Silicon Valley) to accelerate growth in their respective businesses — both successes and failures, and 3) future opportunities for legal professionals and organizations.
