Transition to Digital Legal Tools & Remote Work

We have also recognized that beyond the immediate human health aspect, there are additional, economic concerns that need to be dealt with in the current circumstances. And lawyers may have a special role to play in this regard. Enabling access to digital legal tools, easing the flow of goods and services, helping to virtually run our economies (locally and regionally) and getting creative about legal services will be essential going forward. To support legal teams through this period, we are here to team up and make use of the know-how we've accumulated in our legal innovation ecosystem. Here's a summary of how we are able to help.

Inesting in Legal Technology InvestCEE Guide to Strategic Acquisitions

Investing into technology requires some expenses and the return on investment is often difficult to predict. Clearly, legal technology acquisitions need to be carefully and strategically considered. Yet study after study shows: strategic thinkers are found to be among the most highly effective leaders, and those organizations that look to the future and take well-managed risks are the ones that persevere and grow.

CEE LegalTech Report 2019

A couple of years ago, legal technology (legaltech) was still an unnoted topic of discussion among most lawyers in Central Eastern Europe (CEE).

Our team at InvestCEE LegalTech Consultancy decided to look more closely at various legaltech solutions originating from the CEE region specifically and to provide an overview of this nascent market. We are excited to release the final version of the CEE legaltech report today!

Contract Data Management Legal Data Analytics by InvestCEE LegalTech Consultancy

5-Step Plan for Contract Data Analytics

Smart data management, contract analytics or AI-assisted contract management are some of the various terms used to describe technology tools that help more efficiently access and assess information embedded in contracts. While traditional document management systems force us to carry out and execute routine operations manually (like searching for specific phrases or sections in contracts, reporting on contract data, etc), smart technology helps to automate most of these manual tasks.
