"Ethics" - an obstacle to innovation in legal servicesKathleen Clark
This presentation compares the relative lack of innovation in law with the record of robust innovation in other fields, and describe how ethics standards restricting the unauthorized practice of law, non-lawyer ownership of law firms (Model Rule 5.4(b), (d)), and sharing of legal fees with non-lawyers (Model Rule 5.4(a) are holding back innovation. In other fields, industrial scale production creates commoditized products and services at radically lowered per-unit costs, greatly increasing the number of people who can afford those products and services. (Compare the high price of bespoke clothing with the low price of off-the-rack manufactured clothes.) By contrast, a significant portion of legal services are bespoke rather than commoditized, and thus are available at relatively high prices that few individuals can afford. A recent study showed that 76 percent of cases in state courts involve at least one party who is not represented by counsel. The law has seen little of the kind of innovation that would make legal services available at prices individuals can afford. To the degree that our “ethics” standards stand in the way of such innovation, they need to be reexamined.
84.6% of responding C-suite and other executive feel confident in their organizations’ abilities to manage cash and liquidity, according to a Deloitte poll conducted on Oct. 15, 2020. But as uncertainty persists, it’s important for organizations to continue to improve and strengthen their cash and liquidity management abilities so as not to provide a false sense of security.

With the proliferation of testing culture, many developers are facing new challenges. As projects are getting started, the focus may be on developing enough tests to maintain confidence that the code is correct. However, as developers write more and more tests, performance and repeatability become growing concerns for test suites. In our study of large open source software, we found that running tests took on average 41% of the total time needed to build each project – over 90% in those that took the longest to build. Unfortunately, typical techniques for accelerating test suites from literature (like running only a subset of tests, or running them in parallel) can’t be applied in practice safely, since tests may depend on each other. These dependencies are very hard to find and detect, posing a serious challenge to test and build acceleration. In this talk, I will present my recent research in automatically detecting and isolating these dependencies, enabling for significant, safe and sound build acceleration of up to 16x.

Japan Insurance Market Largely Driven By Ageing Population: Ken ResearchAnkur Gupta
According to the research report “Japan Insurance Market Outlook to 2016 - Growing Importance of Annuity Insurance with Ageing Population” by Ken Research, the direct written premium of insurance in Japan is projected to rise at a CAGR of 9.6% in the next four years with the entrance of more foreign players in the country.
The insurance market in Japan can be classified on the basis of life and non-life insurance. The life insurance is a contract between life insurer and the policyholder in which an insurer is bound to pay a defined sum of money upon the death of the insured person within a certain specified time period or on the maturity of life insurance policy. The non life insurance is also known as general insurance is used to provide coverage for business and individual from the financial loss resulting from certain events such as natural disaster, accident, fire, burglary, diseases and others.

PRECEDENT AS A SOURCE OF LAW (SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Precedent, or stare decisis, is a cornerstone of common law systems where past judicial decisions guide future cases, ensuring consistency and predictability in the legal system. Binding precedents from higher courts must be followed by lower courts, while persuasive precedents may influence but are not obligatory. This principle promotes fairness and efficiency, allowing for the evolution of the law as higher courts can overrule outdated decisions. Despite criticisms of rigidity and complexity, precedent ensures similar cases are treated alike, balancing stability with flexibility in judicial decision-making.
Introducing New Government Regulation on Toll Road.pdfAHRP Law Firm
For nearly two decades, Government Regulation Number 15 of 2005 on Toll Roads ("GR No. 15/2005") has served as the cornerstone of toll road legislation. However, with the emergence of various new developments and legal requirements, the Government has enacted Government Regulation Number 23 of 2024 on Toll Roads to replace GR No. 15/2005. This new regulation introduces several provisions impacting toll business entities and toll road users. Find out more out insights about this topic in our Legal Brief publication.

Law firms are under pressure to develop new ways
to differentiate themselves and increase share of
wallet via technology and integrated services.

We are now seeing an acceleration in the
introduction of new technologies - almost as if
the industry is making up for lost ground.

The legal industry in the U.S. alone represents
about $437 billion in spend with two key trends:

1. Companies taking their services in-house, including
Legal Ops
2. Outsourcing key services to non-law firms
8. 8Feb 2017
Tremendous pressure on in-house counsel not only to cut
costs, but also to justify every dollar they spend.
This pressure impacts outside law firms because they need
to justify their fees and the quality of their services like never
before.

The Challenge
How to measure QUALITY in a standardized and objective way, and in an
approach that’s prescriptive in nature and able to guide the business?
Traditionally, legal business only knows how to measure COST.
And therein lies the challenge and source of friction between in-
house counsel and outside law firms.

The Reality
10. 10
Barclay’s and Amazon have
started to give preference to
firms that can substantiate
that they are innovating,
including:
Feb 2017
1. Unbundling and
disaggregating legal
services
2. Matter project
management
3. Improved technology
solutions
4. Efficient and continuous
improvement methods
11. 11
So now law — like every other industry — is clearly a
target of disruptive technologies, even if it is one of the
last holdouts.
And much of this pressure has come from in-house
counsel.
Now there are hundreds of start-ups to assist both law
firms and clients to be more efficient in the legal world.
What are the trends?

Promotes reciprocal repeat

Allows you to market to your

14. Networks like Nextlaw can help with the dilemma of
obtaining new technology necessary to survive the new
world.

First, Networks can educate through knowledge sharing, like everything Labs invests in,
the latest trends, the newest start-ups in legal tech, and all the new technology that is
out there or which is coming.
Second, Networks can use their power of scale and assist all interested members in
getting needed technology at an affordable price. By aggregating demand, Networks
should be able to exert purchasing power and lead to lower prices for their members.
Third, Networks themselves can look for new technologies that can be used by members
on an ad hoc basis - within the platform! No longer should small firms need to pay
millions for advanced tech when they can pay on an as-needed basis for the tech that is
accessible through the platform.
