Good to hear of this fine effort. For the most part, if law were a person, you would say it is incorrigible when it comes to being tamed for efficiencies. It remains a guild system, which severely limits who can perform legal services and how they can be performed. It also remains an apprenticeship system by which personalized and customized services by highly-trained specialists remains the norm and is perennially tied to the billable hour, which can sometimes inject perverse incentives for law firms to stay with technologically outmoded systems that nonetheless yield higher billings. It embraces vast and amorphous technical areas that can bewilder all concerned with their complexity and, even in simpler areas, it can set unsuspecting clients up for being blindsided when they (at times) ignorantly assume that something is standard or routine when it is not. So quality lawyers can and do earn their keep but often at a stiff cost to the client. That part of the system is intractable and, in my view, there is little any technological provider can do to effect systemic changes to limit costs relating to that core aspect of the legal business. That said, the means by which lawyers (and other timekeepers) work can be vastly improved from the stone-age systems one can all too easily encounter in today's legal field. I note that Atrium LTS is (from its website) "dedicated to providing exceptional tools and processes to transform the delivery of corporate legal services" (italics are mine). That mission statement is spot on. Work around the incorrigible and intractable areas, focus on mechanisms and process, and limit the substantive field to those in which you can take regular and recurring transactions and inject massive efficiencies into the doddering or sclerotic systems now in place. Doing this is not easy. Indeed, it is a massively difficult undertaking. But, put together top people who know the problems, add seasoned technologists who can develop the right systems, and give it the backing of serious investors who have the wherewithal to fund a disruption of major industries, and you have the makings of a great opportunity. Good lawyers will not resist this. They will welcome it because it enhances the value of the customized work that is in reality what they sell. Moreover, it is definitely an idea whose time has come. Others who are highly credible are trying to do this as well, from different angles (e.g., Clerky) and, from the standpoint of one who has long labored in this field, it is exciting to envision what will come of such efforts. Very exciting to see it happening.
