I was employee #1 of a law startup that was acquired in 2014 (I'll leave it up to you to guess if it was LexisNexis or Westlaw that bought us). We did indeed find that there was a lot of opportunity in the space, but also a great deal of inertia preventing adoption of new technology. We also occasionally encountered strong opposition, including having more than one law school prohibit the use of our software by students. I'd say that there are a lot of law-oriented startups that you never hear about, especially if you're not part of a school or firm that's directly targeted by them.
