Legal Technology Influencers on Social Media
Social media platforms have become the go-to arena for legal technology discourse, offering unparalleled access to real-time insights and expert commentary. These digital spaces allow legal professionals to engage directly with thought leaders, participate in industry discussions, and stay abreast of emerging trends. By following key influencers on platforms like X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and even Instagram, lawyers can tap into a wealth of curated content, from breaking news about legal tech startups to in-depth analyses of how AI is reshaping legal practice.
The informal nature of social media also fosters a more dynamic and interactive learning environment, where professionals can ask questions, share experiences, and build valuable networks within the legal tech community.
Must-Follow Tech Influencers for Legal Professionals
When it comes to identifying the most valuable tech influencers for legal professionals, two key factors set true thought leaders apart:
- Firstly, these influencers focus on practical, real-world legal technology solutions that address immediate challenges in the legal industry. In a field often buzzing with speculative ideas, these experts cut through the noise to offer insights and tools that can enhance your practice as soon as the next working day.
- Secondly, they understand the true value of social media lies in engagement. Unlike those who simply broadcast their opinions, these influencers actively participate in meaningful dialogues, welcoming diverse perspectives and fostering a community of shared learning. By following these tech-savvy legal professionals, you’ll gain access to actionable advice and join a vibrant community dedicated to advancing the legal profession through technology.
Ivy B. Grey – Entrepreneur & Attorney
As you can see from Ivy’s profile she’s both an entrepreneur and an attorney, so she gets business and law. She’s also something of a forward thinker, her tweets often focusing not on future tech, but on the law practice management innovations that can make legal work better right now.
That’s where the product PerfectIt comes into play. Whenever she shares a third-party resource she gives a note as to why it’s worth a look.
She’s written a fantastic white paper on why attorneys being able to use technology is a matter of ethics – Technology Competence – What the Ethical Duty Means for You and Your Firm
Colin S. Levy – Content Aggregator & Blogger
As you can see from Colin’s profile on his Twitter account, he’s an in-house attorney, legal technology evangelist, and a fan of Roger Federer.
Colin is a great aggregator of some of the best content on Twitter about technology, legal news and the practice of law.
His interest appears to focus on the technology that supports the work of the attorney, as opposed to the whole ecosystem of the firm.
As well as aggregating content from around the web he has a fantastic blog with some great interviews. A favorite of mine is a short exchange with Daniel B. Rodriguez, Dean of the Pritzker School of Law at Northwestern.
Michelle Spencer – Legal Technology Micro-Influencer
A final favorite legal tech tweeter is Michelle Spencer. Michelle is a big law alum and a veritable expert in an efficiently operated law firm.
She’s taken those years of experience in legal software training and practice and launched a fantastic consultancy – the Legal Learning Development Network.
Michelle is also a partner of ours and is the genius behind much of the vendor-agnostic and material-rich LMS Evaluation Toolkit, which aims to make it easier for firms to choose an LMS, ANY LMS (yes, ANY LMS – not just ours!).
