I can speak to this a bit. My mom is a lawyer and we've talked before about the need for better templating systems. The problem is that the market for solo practitioners and small firms is just not that large or lucrative, and AIUI the market for large law firms is already pretty mature, or at least there's a high barrier to entry.
But there's definitely a need among solo practitioners and small firms, and that need goes beyond templating to include better ways of organizing documents, automating workflows, ensuring security, and so forth. There are companies like Practice Panther which are trying to do this, but the problem I've seen with them is they encourage vendor lock-in and make it hard to do anything not officially supported by the platform.
- howtowin 6y agoI don’t know if you have started working on a potential solution (I am assuming not based off your verbiage), but I’d love to hear more. I find tremendous purpose and joy in enabling more productive and efficient work by developing digital tools & applications, especially for intelligent individuals such as your mother and other lawyers. If interested in sharing more, whether you want to have nothing to do with a potential venture or not, I have my public email on my profile. Cheers!
