Web 2.0 for Contracts: Where to Go, What’s Free, What Costs Money
ByI gave a presentation last week for the Association of Corporate Counsel’s Law Department Management Committee (there’s a mouthful!) entitled:
Web 2.0 for Contracts: Where to Go, What’s Free, What Costs Money
Get up to date on cutting edge web sites in the Law 2.0 world. Jason Mark Anderman, President of WhichDraft.com, will provide an overview of some of the latest and best document, contract, and matter management sites for your use, as well as a demonstration of how they can be used in the course of your day to make you more productive.
Now people in Silicon Valley may be amused by me saying “Web 2.0,” given that the term seems to be gasping for its last breath, but in the legal world we’re a bit behind the times when it comes to technology. After all, for us lawyer types, Web 2.0 is still trying to take off!
So here are the sites I recommended during my presentation (somehow WhichDraft.com magically landed first on the list). Read ‘em and weep:
Free Sample Contracts and Contract Creation Tools
Free Sample Contracts
Social Media
Legal OnRamp (Want to hang out with the most cutting edge lawyers around? Legal OnRamp is the social media web site for lawyers and legal professionals)
Premium Contracts
MyLawyer (this is an impressive site, contracts and legal service integrated in one package with a flat fee; sadly, only offered in the UK; the owner is a company named Epoq that does offer a virtual law firm platform in the US called Direct Law)
Practical Law Company (tremendous resource for contract knowledge management)
Premium Matter Management
Mumboe (great Software as a Service (SasS) matter management premium site)
Premium Confidentiality Agreement Tools
BaselineNDA (Pretty amazing application, with some limitations, it can read and mark up a confidentiality agreement for you)
Not Web 2.0, But Free and Useful Sample Contracts
