Forgive us for looking backwards but it’s one month on from the Legal Geek Conference 2017 and we’re coming over all misty eyed at how epic you all made this year’s edition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It really was a blast and we hope you enjoyed it as much as Tom, Pieter, James, Garth, and Rob; who we spoke to on the sidelines of the start-up alley.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tom Balmer \u2013 Head of Platform @ Third Way Legal<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our first time at the Legal Geek conference as we only launched 9 months ago. There are not many people here trying to sell, it is more about meeting people who are trying to build similar businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe speakers have been really interesting, I particularly enjoyed listening to Anthony Waller from CMS as he has a very interesting perspective on start-ups. John Boles from Navigant as well offered an angle on the industry which isn\u2019t often considered.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pieter van der Hoeven \u2013 CEO @ Clocktimizer<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t just a UK show, it\u2019s an international event. There are people here from Spain, Canada, from all over. While we have a couple of conferences in the Netherlands, there is nothing with this reach. Here it\u2019s also much more of a meeting place, where people aren\u2019t trying to sell to you. There is genuine interest in who we are, which is much more fun for us.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

James Moore \u2013 Founder and Director @ F-LEX<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are twice as many delegates here compared with last year, and that\u2019s a huge amount of potential clients. There\u2019s also a lot of interesting people who you don\u2019t always come in contact with when you go for a meeting at a law firm, from junior lawyers to CEO\u2019s.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Garth Watson \u2013 Chief Legal Officer @ Libryo<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I am enjoying most is reconnecting with people I know through Legal Geek. For example, if it had not been for the Legal Geek community we would not have been introduced to one of our investors Dan Jansen at Nextlaw Labs.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rob Wilmot \u2013 Founder and CEO @ Crowdicity<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are five of us in my team here and it\u2019s great for us to engage with the legal teams from other companies. I am also currently writing a book on AI so I will be trying to line up interviews from today with people who I might not have been able to meet but who I have heard speak on stage.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
