Our #SpecialGuest on the #VirtualLunch today, Friday, May 21, 2021, Mike Suchsland of Bridge Investments, shared his extraordinary perspective on the evolution of #legaltech and the future of legal services. My key takeaways were: (1) Legal tech is entering the mainstream in private equity; (2) 10 years ago, there were a few legal tech startups listed on AngelList and today, there are over a thousand; (3) There will be a collision between law and technology; (4) Lawyers are using technology to make better decisions; (5) In the future, the technology will be the lawyer; (6) It is in every organization’s interest to embrace diversity; and, (7) There is a gap in skills training from law school to practice. Thanks to Mike, to Lydia Flocchini, Ed Deaton, Jamie Krumrich, and Laurence Winters of SurePoint Technologies for participating and supporting our series on #GrowthandEfficiency, and to attendees Monica Sandler, Maureen Perry, Barbara Walker, Joyce Lynn Elder, Stephanie Henshaw, Scott J. Jaffee, Holly Riccio, Jaimie Field, Gina Hardin, Raymond Blijd, Bruce S.
