ALM Press Room ? Blog Archive ? Law Technology News Goes ...

NEW YORK (April 2, 2012)-ALM?s Law Technology News today published a rare look behind the curtain of how two legal technology pioneers built and sold their products years ago to one of the industry giants, only to return to the industry this year with new start-ups they each hope to build into emerging players in the marketplace.

?Act Two,? the cover story of the April 2012 issue of the magazine, tells the stories of Graham Smith, founder of LiveNote, the groundbreaking real-time court transcription software, and William Bice, founder of ProLaw, the pioneering practice management software. The story is reported and written by LTN Editor-in-Chief Monica Bay and includes behind-the-scenes anecdotes about how Smith and Bice built their respective companies, ultimately sold them to Thomson Reuters, and are now each pursuing new entrepreneurial ventures in the legal technology industry.

The April 2012 issue of LTN is available online now at www.lawtechnologynews.com.

?This is a story about how two very smart men on two different continents had the vision to develop innovative software products that achieved great success and then found the holy grail for legal technology vendors by selling their businesses to one of the industry giants,? said Bay. ?Now, simultaneously, they?ve decided to get back into the game, launching new products at LegalTech New York 2012 that directly compete with their former products.?

The April issue of LTN also includes a special report on the use of social media in law firms for internal collaboration and education. The social media package includes a five-step roadmap for how to roll out social media training with staff members.
