Call me lucky. Every week, I get to sit down at the mic for my LawNext podcast and have a conversation with the leading “innovators and entrepreneurs who are driving what’s next in law.”
For me, each and every one of these conversations is fun and fascinating. But I am equally fascinated to add up the…
Look over this list of my blog posts that were most popular this year, and there is no doubt about the topic that most captivated the legal industry. Of my 40 most-read posts of 2023, 30 directly involved generative AI and others implicated it.

Seven times since 2016, Thomson Reuters has conducted a survey on the state of small law firms in the U.S., and every time, it found that small firms had made virtually no progress on one of their greatest challenges, which is that they spend too much time on administrative tasks to the exclusion of practicing…

It has been the legal story of the summer. In June, Thomson Reuters announced that it had signed an agreement to acquire the legal research and AI company Casetext for a jaw-dropping $650 million.
The deal, it said at the time, was subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions and was expected to…
In October 2020, legal industry veterans Joe Borstein and Paul Stroka set out to change the legal tech sales paradigm by founding LexFusion as a go-to-market representative of a curated collection of companies across major categories of legal technology.

So why did TR shell out a record $650 million in cash to acquire Casetext? That was the…
Rumors had been swirling that Thomson Reuters was about to acquire Casetext, and they proved to be true.
Just before 9 p.m. Eastern time today, TR said it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire Casetext for $650 million cash.
“The proposed transaction will complement Thomson Reuters existing AI roadmap and builds on its recent…
