Billionaires in legal? A decade passed in a blink of an eye, and … In January 2017 I made a bold prediction in my column in Above the Law: "By 2027 the legal industry will produce many billionaires, but few, if any, will be practicing attorneys." Nearly 10 years later, I'm back on Above the Law to see how it aged. Legal tech has now minted 16 unicorns. So I like my odds. A LOT. My old pitch to lawyers rested on three claims: the market for legal innovation is huge, the alt.legal community is tiny, and your lawyer skills will translate. The market claim is truer than ever. On whether firms will admit innovation is a thing: "That fight is over; we won." BTW I’m STILL also very bullish on law firms, more on that in another article. The "tiny" claim flipped. 5,700 people showed up to ILTACON, and Sheryl Crow played a private concert at a Legora event (a LexFusion, Baretz+Brunelle's innovation portfolio member company). Next up: I’ll be tracking down the legal tech founders I profiled back then. One had a near-billion-dollar exit, another runs legal for OpenAI, and at least one probably became a sommelier (which is also relevant to lawyers).
