In this episode, Rob Patterson of Parkins Lane and Paul Evans of Toro Digital are joined by Jodie Baker, Founder and CEO of Xakia Technologies.

We discuss:
How legal technology is enabling better process flow and greater efficiencies, especially for in-house counsel to manage workflow.
How Xakia came to be and the key elements that enabled it’s growth and more broadly the adoption of legal tech:
Cloud computing has allowed smaller teams to access more sophisticated software at a fraction of the price; and 
A “do more with less” mentality, especially post-GFC where companies retained a lot of work in-house. Companies today are continually striving for technology to enable efficiencies.
Lessons learnt when taking a tech startup global, and the impact of privacy, culture and regulatory constraints. As well as, outsourcing elements of the business that are not core to your service.
The growth and global perception of legal tech in Australia and how ALTA (Australian Legal Technology Association) was born out of a desire to build a ‘brand’ and recognition of dedicated legal technology companies in Australia. 
The future of ALTA and how legal tech companies can grow their network and business.
