    The Effectiveness Project with Ivy Grey & Chris Cangero - LegalTechLIVE - Episode 130

    In a change of pace for our show, we do not cover a legaltech startup in this episode. Instead, we take a look at The Effectiveness Project, which is a legal technology collaboration through the Legal Technology Core Competencies Certification Coalition and a variety of legal technology vendors. The Effectiveness Project is an international working group of legal professionals, with support from LTC4, collaborating to establish best practices and baseline skills for creating effective legal documents. They are focusing, at present, on what is called Document Competency. The first release from The Effectiveness Project, is the Document Competency Best Practices Guide. This guide is free and can be downloaded right now. See the link below. The Best Practices Guide was created with the understanding that the legal document-creation process is highly individualized. As such, The Effectiveness Project sought to provide guidance that is specific, yet flexible. To meet that goal, the Best Practices Guide is divided into drafting stages so it can be used as a modular part of a workflow. Two participants in the collaboration are friends, and former guests, of LegalTechLIVE. They joined us to describe the goals and mission of The Effectiveness Project. Ivy Grey is the Vice President of Strategy and Business Development at Wordrake. Ivy has been the driving force behind the effort to improve efficiency and effectiveness of document creation through The Effectiveness Project. Chris Cangero is the Chief Executive Officer of DocStyle, LLC and another of the leading voices behind push for better document creation via The Effectiveness Project. Take a listen and download the Best Practices Guide. Connect with our guests and get involved!

    Erin Levine CEO and Founder of Hello Divorce - LegalTechLIVE - 124

    We cannot pretend to be objective about this interview. Erin Levine has been a friend of the show for several years. She's previously been a co-host and has been a huge supporter for other women founders who have been on the show. In the episode Erin takes us from inception of Hello Divorce to her decision to fundraise (coming off a recent $2M raise). Her company has faced many difficulties including a patchwork of jurisdictional and local rules, the difficulties of reframing the idea of divorce and the approaches to wellness they've employed in a more holistic approach to the termination of the marital contract. Further, we dive into finding the right investors and moving from an small "all hands on deck" #legaltech #startup into a more refined operationalized and systematized company. A necessary change for a growing #justicetech company. We do not want to ruin this candid conversation by over-describing the interaction. Get to know Erin and Hello Divorce. They're leading the way on direct-to-consumer legal assistance. More about Erin Levine & Hello Divorce: Erin Levine on Twitter: https://twitter.com/hello_divorce.
