About
Legal tech marketing is broken.
Vendor websites are full of content written by people (or LLMs) who’ve never practiced law, set up a legal tech stack, or even logged into the platforms they’re pitching. It’s all there for one purpose: to push you closer to a demo or trial. Which is fine if you’re ready to try before you buy.
But what if you’re just starting out? Where do you go to learn how this technology really works, and how legal professionals like you actually use it — without sales pressure, marketing spin, aspirational product roadmaps, or AI hallucinations?
When you start practicing law, you quickly learn not to go straight to the research platforms that were freely available in law school. (After you graduate, they’re no longer remotely close to free). If you’re in a law firm with a dedicated library, you go there.
One of the librarians hands you a treatise on the area of law you’re researching. Upon opening it, you see that someone has already done the heavy lifting for you. They’ve helpfully organized a coherent summary of the core information you need, giving you a logical starting point and a clear sense of direction.
After several years in legal tech, I wondered: why don’t we have something like that for legal tech? A reliable, hype-free guide to what these solutions actually do today, and where they’re going.
So I created it.
The Legal Tech Guide is your treatise on the world of legal tech.
If you have ideas to make it even more useful, I’d love to hear from you.
