It\u2019s exciting! When I talk to soon-to-be-lawyers, the interns who come to Zegal each year, I see that it\u2019s becoming increasingly clear that they no longer see being a lawyer as meaning joining a law firm. There is no longer one single track. And career success, can be something that is different for each of us.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pitching_from_side_to_side\"><\/span><b>Pitching from side to side<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I spoke to many startups pitching their ideas, and it was easy to find areas of support and potential collaboration across a broad spectrum of the industry. As it is, one way we already collaborate with other companies is through software integrations. For instance, our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/xconnect.zegal.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">integration with cloud-based accounting software Xero<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> allows our clients to link their Xero accounts to Zegal. Our clients can now complete a Xero-enabled document to seamlessly generate an invoice, thereby reducing data entry and saving time. The same goes for our integrations with cloud storage solutions such as Google Drive, OneDrive and Dropbox. In my meeting with other startup founders at the conference, \u00a0it was easy to find systems where an integration would be beneficial.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing that was joyful for me to witness (as a solicitor) was the supportive approach taken in the UK by the regulator, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), and the Law Society. \u00a0There is no doubt that the SRA, Law Society, Legal Geek and the numerous legaltech businesses are collaborating in genuine ways and in mutual cooperation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Love_Spreads\"><\/span><b>Love Spreads<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8628\"  class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8628 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/zegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/LegalGeekDragonLaw.jpg\" alt=\"Daniel walker and Chris Sykes_love of legaltech\" width=\"1008\" height=\"568\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/LegalGeekDragonLaw.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/zegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/LegalGeekDragonLaw-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/LegalGeekDragonLaw-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zegal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/LegalGeekDragonLaw-640x361.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 639px) 98vw, (max-width: 1199px) 64vw, 770px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Zegal co-founders Daniel Walker &amp; Chris Sykes at the Legal Geek Conference 2017<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I have spent the last week following up with various smart folk I met at Legal Geek, and telling anyone I\u2019ve met how great it was. \u00a0I just hope it\u2019s a longer event next year!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I also hope that Jimmy\u2019s movement grows from strength to strength and maybe one day has a spin off up in Manchester.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the folks at Legal Geek say, \u201cIt\u2019s not an event, it\u2019s a movement.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Chris Sykes, Legal Tech Evangelist at Zegal Source: Legal Geek Legal Geek made my month Everyone has moments in their work when they remember why they are doing it and how much they love it.
