By Simon Cocking, review of The LEGALTECH Book, available from Wiley and the Fintech Circle here.
The LEGALTECH Book is the first crowdsourced book on legal technologies and innovations focused on the financial services sector.
It brings together top entrepreneurs, lawyers, investors and LegalTech experts, who exclusively share their visions and unique insights on the nature of legal technologies and their relationship with data, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and distributed ledger technologies/blockchain as well as ethical considerations of the technological advancement and future projections.
The LEGALTECH Book is co-edited by a team of four recognised FinTech and LegalTech thought leaders with decades of industry experience.
The LEGALTECH Book, reviewed
The latest book by the team. It is now an impressive range of books, covering RegTech, InsurTech, Wealth Tech, FinTech and many other related areas. It has been fun to see the project grow and expand from the first initial, fairly general book, to more and more area specific books. This approach makes complete sense as FinTech as a concept is really a entry point into the more nuanced subgenres within in.
Soon enough, or perhaps we have already passed the point where ‘fintech’ becomes meaningless and instead we need to define more specifically what area we wish to discuss. With this in mind, this current book, The LegalTech book, makes complete sense.
The book follows the usual format as a series of subtopics within this general umbrella, including;
All of these are good topics to get your teeth into, and we do advocate using this book as a primer for trends to watch, and to dive into those areas which resonate and are most relevant to your own areas of work. It’s been an enjoyable journey to follow the evolution of this series and this book in particular delivers timely, topical and useful content.
