Legal technology is a notoriously challenging field for investors. There is a widespread perception that selling to lawyers and law firms is a unique process, distinct from any other category of business. Plus, the legal profession is inherently risk-averse and resistant to innovation. While the legal innovation space may be in its infancy, the activity is accelerating. Just ask Avvo, Allegory, Catalyst, or the ongoing updates to LawSite’s Startup Directory.
Enter the Evolve Law Summit, a one-of-a-kind conference connecting legal tech startups with investors, including venture capital, private equity, angels, corporate strategics, industry advisors, and mentors.
This event will be held on May 2nd at the Four Seasons in Chicago, IL. Attendees receive facilitated 1:1 meetings, interactive pitches, and exclusive access to Evolve the Law’s inaugural pitchbook.
