SMU-INTELLEX Legal Tech Workshop

SMU-INTELLEX Legal Tech Workshop

 

SMU-INTELLEX Legal Tech Workshop

The ​legal ​industry ​is ​widely ​seen ​to ​be ​conservative ​and ​traditional. ​Practice ​methods ​and ​customer ​experience ​has ​barely ​changed ​over ​the ​past ​few ​decades. ​Law ​firms ​are ​generally ​seen ​as ​being ​risk ​averse ​and ​they ​face ​weaker ​cost-cutting ​incentives ​than ​other ​professions (since ​they ​pass ​disbursements ​directly ​to ​their ​client). ​Consequently, ​law ​firms ​have ​been ​generally ​insulated ​from ​technology ​adoption. 
With ​improvements ​in ​A.I. ​and ​machine ​learning, ​companies ​are ​trying ​to ​influence ​the ​traditional ​legal ​practice ​by ​developing ​online ​software ​that ​reduces ​or ​in ​some ​cases ​eliminates ​the ​need ​to ​consult ​a ​lawyer, ​or ​by ​connecting ​people ​with ​lawyers ​more ​efficiently ​through ​online ​marketplaces ​and ​lawyer-matching ​websites. 
In addition, INTELLLEX will also be conducting a briefing titled “Exploring Tech and Internships with Legal Tech Startups” for those who are interested to join them as an intern in December 2017. They have been recognised as one of the approved companies for the SMU internship program. In short, an internship in INTELLLEX will contribute to the 10-week graduation requirement
