The Future of Law
On December 17th, the second day of the Law 2.0 Conference in Dubai, Prashanth will be speaking on the first panel of the morning, entitled “Future Of Lawyers — The Impact Of Legal Tech, Big Data, And Virtual Courts.”
This panel will focus on the transformational changes that have taken place over the last decade with the introduction of legal technology solutions into the everyday workflow processes of legal professionals. More specifically, this panel discussion will center on how legal tech in the litigation space has made lawyers more efficient at handling court cases, reduced costs involved in litigation, and enhanced the development of winning litigation strategies.
In addition to Prashanth speaking on a panel for the Law 2.0 Conference in Dubai, we are also thrilled that Josh will be recognized on December 19th at the Law 2.0 Conference in Las Vegas with an Outstanding Leadership Award.
Under Josh’s strategic vision to provide Legal Data as a Service (LDaaS), he has assembled a diverse, global team behind UniCourt, based both in the U.S. and India, including computer engineers, data scientists, physicists, and legal professionals all working together to unlock the potential of legal data.
Through Josh’s leadership, UniCourt has developed a robust, growing ecosystem for accessing legal data via our APIs and online app that removes the barriers of data collection, costs, and normalization, so that innovators can build the next generation of legal services and products to move the legal profession forward.
