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:
1. Cloud computing has allowed smaller teams to access more sophisticated software at a fraction of the price; and 
2. 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.
