"When I am interviewing I ask–– Is this person brave? Is this person willing to take a risk? Are they willing to battle with their own personality to get better? Are you ready to face up to your own negative self?" In this episode I am interviewing Alistair Maiden Alistair is a former lawyer turned legal technologist and founder of Syke, a legal technology company. We discuss:

• Leaving practice to launch a legal tech company.
• Technology and innovation in the legal profession.
• Why legal tech frees up lawyers to do what they are trained to do.
• Thoughts for lawyers and corporate legal teams about adoption of legal tech.
• Why law firms are slower to adopt legal technologies.
• How perfectionism and fear of failure hold lawyers back, and how as lawyers if we can embrace failure, innovate and pivot this can be incredibly powerful.
