More Evidence That Software Is Eating The Legal Industry: An Interview With LawGeex CEO Noory Bechor

Is yet another robot is here to take your job?

How often are friends asking you to look over (for free) an NDA or an employment agreement? The fact is many people could use the help of a lawyer to review everyday documents but either lack the means or simply do not want to deal with the pain of finding a lawyer.  Not everyone knows some pushover like you who is willing to do it for free, so either they spend too much or, worse, go into negotiations blind.
One Israeli lawyer, Noory Bechor, thinks software is the solution and has raised $700K to build LawGeex an artificial intelligence to analyze your documents against the documents in their database and flag provisions that are “not market.”  So now, for no cost, ordinary people can negotiate agreements with their landlord, employer or investor just as well as a trained lawyer.  The service has already generated buzz with early adopters and, after having LawGeex analyze my new apartment lease, I was ready to learn more.  Noory joins me this week to discuss LawGeex, the shifting legal industry and whether yet another robot is here to take your job.
