Anna McGrane is a former practicing lawyer and the current COO and Co-founder of PacerPro, a workflow automation and experience capture platform. PacerPro has become the standard for BigLaw and leading litigation boutiques when it comes to integrating federal court data into workflow and knowledge systems.  Anna speaks frequently on issues of law, technology, enterprise change management, workflow, and clean data capture. She has been featured in Lawyers Who Code and “Women of Legal Tech” and is an organizing member of the NYU Law &amp; Tech community. In this episode… Historically, integrating innovation into the legal industry has always been a challenge. Whenever a new technology emerges, lawyers (and firms) at large are usually hesitant to try it out, and some even cling to their old workflows—regardless of how inefficient this makes them.  When it comes to new technology, you could be saving time, money, and most importantly, stress! So, why is the legal industry so slow to innovate? Former practicing lawyer and current legal tech expert Anna McGrane has a few ideas.  In this episode of The Lawyer’s Edge, Elise Holtzman sits down with the Co-founder and COO of PacerPro, Anna McGrane, to talk about how technology can streamline and enhance BigLaw. Together, they chat about the features of Anna’s automation platform, whether or not the legal industry is becoming more open to innovation, and Anna’s suggestions for law firm leaders who are ready to introduce new tech into their practices.

Joshua Fireman

You don't have to "boil the ocean" to implement innovation and change in a law firm or legal department. That's what we learn in Episode 35 from Anna McGrane, PacerPro COO, and Joshua Fireman, President of Fireman &amp; Company. PacerPro is an app that streamlines and automates the distribution and capture of data from federal court filings. Fireman &amp; Company is a legal industry-focused management consulting firm. Anna and Joshua join us to talk about a white paper they put together analyzing the time saved and the ROI law firms realized by automating the distribution and processing of federal court filings. Dealing with pleadings may not be the sexiest legal tech use case, but as Joshua explains, addressing solvable, everyday pain points can be a big win in the development of a knowledge management program and in the bigger picture of change management.  In their study, Anna and Joshua figured out that by automating the distribution and processing of federal court filings, participating law firms saved nearly 50,000 hours of human time.
