How did we begin?

The Tech&Law Platform was founded as an initiative of Robus Consulting & Legal Marketing, and has since grown to become the company’s Legal Technology department.

Robus provides consulting, marketing and business development services and has a special niche for law-firms and accounting firms. Among its customers are many dozens of Israeli and International law and accountant firms, the latter of which are furthermore accompanied by the company’s international department.

Robus has broad experience with the legal market in Israel and abroad, which it harnesses in its day-to-day activities in order to give its clients the best of services.

What is Legal Tech?

The field of legal technology deals with a variety of technological services aimed at one of the following two goals:

  1. Improving and optimizing both the quality and the accuracy of materials produced by both the individual lawyer and the law firm.
  2. Providing technological solutions to law firms, and via the firms – to the end customers – (B2B2C) who are not familiar with the legal system, and to whom the players in the field, including lawyers, courts, regulators, governmental systems etc. are unable to assist.

For example, a central problem in many law firms today is the habit of billing per hour. This ancient custom creates a gap between the end costumers as a result of the uncertainty with regards to the actual amount due. As a consequence, many legal tech companies around the world offer a parallel service providing legal documents online, for a fixed price and with rapid delivery, saving the client money and ensuring transparency.

These services, however, do not replace the services of a lawyer, but do reach an audience that law firms do not normally reach, such as people who cannot afford a good lawyer.

Regarding the legal tech sector in Israel and the world:

Leading law firms in the world have already realized that there is no escape from change. On one hand, the world is moving towards automatization, where clients are used to receiving quality and efficient services from different applications ‘on the spot’ – and expect the same from their lawyers. On the other hand, the competition in the legal field is only getting stronger, even more so in the Israeli legal market. Law firms are realizing that they must adopt new technologies in order to keep up with the growing competition and with the immediacy of information available at our fingertips.   

Legal-tech solutions are no novelty in the ‘Start-up Nation’. Both small and major law firms are publicizing their legal-tech systems as part of their competitive added value, and in parallel, legal-tech companies are enjoying a growing reputation, raising capital and even seeking international markets in which they can expand. The trend is promising, yet there is much room for growth, as many ‘old school’ lawyers recoil from adopting new technologies – and this is precisely where we step in.       

What are the services which we provide?

The Tech&Law department offers many types of services for Israeli legal tech companies, for both start-ups and established companies seeking to grow, or to enter the Israeli and other markets.  In addition, we assist law firms and accountant offices that seek technological solutions and assistance in the implementation of target software; legal consultants of in-house departments seeking legal technological solutions that are tailored to the unique needs of in-house legal departments; and clients seeking to raise capital.
