How To Choose the Right Legal Tech For Your Business

Navigating the Legal Tech Landscape

On the first Legal Geek event in mainland Europe 🇳🇱 our own Lennert Govaerts, legal innovation advisor at LEGILE, took the stage to share his expertise on how legal departments and law firms can navigate the ever-evolving legal tech landscape.

With years of experience helping organizations choose the right tools for their unique needs, Lennert will guide you to answer the questions that you might be asking yourself:

  • Should I buy or build?

  • How do I choose the right vendor?

  • How do I implement legal tech?

  • Do I need AI?

LEGILE at LEGAL GEEK

The LEGILE team had an exciting presence at Legal Geek this year, welcoming attendees from diverse legal backgrounds at our booth.

Whether you were in-house counsel, private practitioners, or compliance officers, everyone was eager to learn more about the practical solutions we offer.

From knowledge management strategies to redesigned legal documentation, our demos gave legal professionals a firsthand look at how the right tech can transform their day-to-day operations.

But the true highlight of the event was Lennert’s pitch, which captivated the audience and left a lasting impression.

 

What does Biking have to do with Legal Tech?

Well besides Legal Geek being hosted in the city of bikes 🇳🇱, our metaphor offers a deeper dive at the sea of legal tech that invites you to go fishing and might leave you with an empty bucket. 

Much like a legal department choosing a tech tool, a cyclist 🚴 must consider their specific needs. Is the terrain challenging? What’s the destination? Are there additional, unnecessary features that could complicate the ride?

Just as a seasoned cyclist wouldn’t choose the most advanced GPS with features they’ll never use, legal professionals shouldn’t invest in overly complex systems they don’t need.

Lennert emphasized that the key to success is identifying the core challenges a legal team faces, and then selecting the right tech solution that fits their journey—without getting lost in a sea of unnecessary features.

 

A Bright Future for Legal Tech Decision-Making

Lennert’s pitch wasn’t just about providing information—it was about empowering legal professionals to take control of their digital transformation journeys. By focusing on what they truly need, rather than the latest flashy tech, they can make more informed decisions, ultimately driving efficiency and innovation in their practice.

At LEGILE, we’re proud to be at the cutting edge of legal tech consulting. We’re here to help legal departments and firms assess their needs and choose the right tools that will genuinely benefit them in the long run.
