Director of Legal @ Malbek | Legal Tech Author and Commentator | Fastcase 50 2022 Honoree | Legal Tech Startup Advisor and Investor

Hey. I’m Colin. I am the General Counsel of Malbek, CLM for the Enterprise. I am a man on a mission. 

My mission is helping people make sense of legal tech—where technology and the law intersect to drive real change. 

As an educator, writer, and advocate, I explore how innovation is reshaping the legal landscape and share insights to help you navigate this dynamic space.

I actively work to grow and support the legal tech community. 

I authored The Legal Tech Ecosystem, a foundational guide to understanding the industry, co-wrote CLM for Dummies to make Contract Lifecycle Management accessible, and edited the comprehensive Handbook of Legal Tech. 

Additionally, I’ve contributed articles, spoken on podcasts, and hosted webinars to unpack the role of technology in law.

I aim to empower legal professionals to embrace technology and realize its potential to improve the legal industry. 

Change and innovation are not just buzzwords to me—they’re the driving forces behind my work.

As Director of Legal and Evangelist for Malbek, a leading Contract Lifecycle Management platform, I stay on the frontlines of legal tech innovation. I also advise startups, invest in emerging technology, and look for ways to propel the industry forward.

Here are a few specific highlights of my work:

1) Author of The Legal Tech Ecosystem – An essential guide for understanding the foundations of legal tech and its key players.

2) Editor of the Handbook of Legal Tech – A comprehensive exploration of the distinct sectors shaping the legal tech landscape.

3) Co-author of CLM for Dummies – Breaking down Contract Lifecycle Management into practical, approachable concepts for legal professionals at every stage.

4) Judge for the American Legal Technology Awards – Highlighting and celebrating groundbreaking advancements in legal innovation.

5)  Columnist for Today’s General Counsel – Delivering in-depth analysis and actionable strategies on the intersection of technology and legal operations.

Every role I take on reflects my dedication to advancing the legal tech community and showing what’s possible when technology and the law work together.

My journey started with candid conversations with pioneers in legal tech. I continue to share those experiences and what I’ve learned on my website, colinslevy.com.

For updates, follow me here, on my website, or on platforms like Threads, Instagram, and X (formerly Twitter).

Whether you’re curious about legal tech, just starting out, or building something new, I’d love to connect. 

Please reach out!

Paralegals.

Often the smartest and most engaging people I've met in my life have been paralegals. 

They tend to be the most tech-savvy, the most innovative, and the most collaborative individuals within a legal organization.

They are at the forefront of innovation and process improvement in many cases.

They also often go on to become legal operations managers and directors.

Listen to them. Treat them well. Learn from them.

Don't be an asshole.

There, I said it. 

Look, I get it. The world is not always a nice place. You're not going to like everyone you meet. People will do things that frustrate or annoy you.

Especially during hectic times, like now, as another year wraps up.

But, by being a jerk you are only contributing to the problem.

This doesn't mean you need to be sweet as sugar to everyone, but it does mean to keep your feelings in check and to be respectful whenever possible.

So, let me repeat.

Don't be an asshole. 

Happy Halloween. 

#legaltech #innovation #law #business #learning

Too much legal tech content is performance, not analysis.

It circulates because it requires no sustained thought: a tool announcement, a vague efficiency claim, a prediction divorced from mechanism. This serves the person posting. It does not serve the profession.

Legal professionals considering technology adoption face concrete structural questions that popular commentary systematically avoids.

When you implement document automation, you are making explicit decisions about knowledge transfer. Which analytical patterns will your newer lawyers never learn through repetition? How does competency develop when the formative tasks disappear?

For legal professionals sharing knowledge about technology: your obligation is to examine mechanisms and tradeoffs, not to amplify adoption narratives.

The profession needs people who can think clearly about these tools, not people who just promote them. 

#legaltech #innovation #law #business #learning

Lawyers and law students, here is some advice.

Don’t compromise your ethics, your values, those things that make you, you. 

Find work at places aligned to to you.

Ask questions during the interview process to ensure this is the case. 

Interviewing is a two-way street.

No job is worth giving up who you are and how you want to be seen by others.

There is only one you.

I’m Colin, General Counsel of Malbek - CLM for the Enterprise and author of The Legal Tech Ecosystem.

#legaltech #innovation #law #business #learning

Law schools need to teach technology skills. It's not optional anymore.

I see new lawyers struggling with basic legal tech that firms use every day. Document review platforms, contract analysis software, AI research tools. 

These aren't coming someday. They're here now.

What should law students actually learn?

Some essential tech topics for law students and new lawyers:

-IP questions when AI creates content
-How and when to use AI for legal work and examples of tools that can help
-Liability issues with automated systems
-Using tech to help clients including underserved clients access legal services
-Ethics rules around AI in legal practice

The reality: Clients expect those they hire to know how to use and when to use the tools of their trade. 

Lawyers who combine legal knowledge with tech skills are winning cases and building practices. Those who don't are falling behind.

Law schools that skip this preparation are failing their students. The market has already decided that tech literacy matters.

I’m Colin, General Counsel of Malbek - CLM for the Enterprise and author of The Legal Tech Ecosystem.

#legaltech #innovation #law #business #learning

Working as a lawyer in-house:

1) Skip the legal history lesson. Start with "We can do this by..." not "We can't because..." 

Show you understand risk in context. 

2) Never say "that's not legal's problem." 

Own problems together with your business partners.

3) Relationships matter more than you think. 

Build your network before you need it.

4) Not every question needs the same response. 

Learn when to give what type of response. 

#legaltech #innovation #law #business #learning

Too often it seems that salespeople view lawyers as roadblocks and lawyers view salespeople as careless. 

The way forward?

Recognizing that this relationship works best when both sides understand what the other is actually trying to accomplish. 

When sales takes responsibility for learning the basics instead of treating legal like a helpdesk. When legal approaches questions as a coach instead of a gatekeeper.

And when executives actually prioritize this relationship instead of assuming it will fix itself.

The question worth asking isn't "how do we eliminate tension between sales and legal?" It's "how do we channel that tension in ways that serve our customers better?"

Because at the end of the day, that's the only metric that matters.
