Episode 32 of the Legal Tech StartUp Focus Podcast -- Interview with Jason Gabbard, founder of JUSTLAW In this episode of the Legal Tech StartUp Focus Podcast (www.legaltechstartupfocus.com/podcast), your host, Charlie Uniman, interviews Jason Gabbard, the founder of JUSTLAW(www.just.law) a startup that, as it writes on its website, offers families, individuals and small business “legal matters covered by our [monthly] protection plan.” Jason dives right into a recounting of his career and, we learn, it is a varied one from a business standpoint.   After law school, Jason spends four years in corporate law at NYC law firm Cravath, Swaine &amp; Moore. Jason goes on from there (i) to found, in the early 2000’s, a “distributed” law firm, (ii) to create a legal tech startup in 2010 that extracts M&amp;A deal clauses from SEC databases and that, with humans in-the-loop, also analyzes those clauses and (iii) to found Counselytics, another legal tech startup, one that automates much of the analytics that went into Jason’s previous startup’s clause-based work.   Jason has successful exits from both of the above-mentioned startups. And, in fact, for several years works at Conga, the company that acquired Counselytics. All this leads to Charlie and Jason discussing the (over?) abundance of companies in the CLM space and the frothiness in the market for investing in legal tech startup (and in startups, in general). Charlie and Jason next turn to Jason’s latest venture, called JUSTLAW, that aggregates small business demand for legal services and surfaces that demand to solo and small/medium-sized firm practitioners.  What’s of particular note here is that the practitioners charge for their services available on the basis of a tiered monthly subscription model (with the tiers corresponding to different levels of lawyer services). Jason concludes this podcast episode with words of wisdom to other legal tech startup founders/leaders (i) who are eyeing (or may someday eye) an M&amp;A exit, (ii) whose startups are deluged with customer feature requests, (iii) who are building senior level teams and (iv) who are just moving from practicing law to starting up a legal company.

Ep 032 Interview with Jason Gabbard, Founder of JUSTLAW

In the last episode of Season 2, we want to pause and reflect on the lessons learned from our Agents of Change. One pattern we find interesting is many of the leaders featured have diverse backgrounds in areas seemingly unrelated to their current roles. It had us wondering: Is an Agent of Change intrinsically motivated to be a multi-disciplinarian? Listen in as we tie it all together.  Resources and links discussed:   Turning the Art of Impact into a Science | Carolyn Jungclas  The Three R’s of Organizational Change | Josh Kail  Systems Architecture: A Creative Pursuit | Karen Davis  Compartmentalizing Your Change | Karyn Allen  The Importance of Empowerment in the Midst of Change | Mike Rethage  Connect with Jason: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-gabbard-ba41191/ Learn more about Conga: https://conga.com
