This Week In Legal Tech: The Winners Of The TECHSHOW Startup Alley Competition
Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to all the contestants and voters.
The envelope, please.
A competition has been underway here to select 12 legal technology startups to participate in the first-ever Startup Alley at the American Bar Association’s TECHSHOW conference in March.
For the first time ever this year, ABA TECHSHOW is reserving a portion of its exhibition hall to showcase 12 innovative legal startups. In addition, on TECHSHOW’s opening night, the 12 startups will face off in a bracketed pitch competition (think March Madness) judged by TECHSHOW attendees to pick the most innovative startup.
Law Firm Business Development Is More Than Relationship Building
This is a cooperative effort of ABA TECHSHOW, Above the Law, Evolve Law and Lawsitesblog.com, spearheaded by the chair of this year’s TECHSHOW planning board, Adriana Linares.
In October, we invited startups to apply for a competition to fill the 12 slots. From all the applications we received, a panel of three judges – consisting of Evolve Law cofounders Mary Juetten and Jules Miller and myself – chose the 20 best. We then posted those 20 and invited readers to vote for their favorite. Voting concluded Dec. 2.
So, without further ado, the winners in order of their vote tallies are:
- ClariLegal, a cloud-based litigation management platform that is simplifying the way litigation services are bought, sold and managed.
- Ping. Ping is automated timekeeping for lawyers that will automatically track, categorize and describe all of a lawyer’s billable actions.
- Court Buddy. Court Buddy is a wholly automated platform that matches solo and small firm attorneys with small businesses based on pre-selected, a-la-carte flat rates.
- LawTap. Like ZocDoc for doctors and dentists, LawTap is the booking engine for attorneys.
- Doxly. Doxly is a cloud-based platform that transforms the chaotic process of managing legal transactions into a singular tool.
- Paladin. Paladin helps law firms, companies and law schools manage their pro bono with streamlined sourcing, tracking and outcome reporting on a modern, tech-forward platform.
- UniCourt. UniCourt is a nationwide case research, tracking, management, and analytics platform that integrates court data from federal and state courts into a cloud-based application.
- LegalClick. LegalClick is a SaaS Platform for lawyers to sell their legal services direct to clients with our document assembly shopping cart in our app or online.
- TrustBooks. TrustBooks takes a scary thing like trust accounting and makes it drop-dead simple.
- LawBooth. LawBooth connects people and attorneys online, making it easy for consumers to find the right attorney and schedule a free initial consultation.
- Alt Legal. Alt Legal’s software helps companies and law firms create, track, and analyze intellectual property filings.
- Aggregate Law. Aggregate Law quickly and efficiently connects skilled project attorneys to legal work.

These 12 startups will be provided space at a discounted cost to exhibit their product or service in the first-ever Startup Alley located within TECHSHOW’s exhibit hall. Each startup will be responsible for a display fee of $1,500 and for its own travel and hotel expenses.
