66: Making the Legal Profession Faster, Better, and Cheaper with Aaron Baer - a podcast by The Richard Dri Podcast

This week, I am joined by Aaron Baer, partner of the law firm of Aird and Berlis LLL, for a conversation about ways to make the legal profession faster, better, and cheaper. Aaron practices corporate and commercial law with an emphasis on mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructurings and regulatory matters for private and public companies. He has a keen interest in legal technology and has played a leading role in his firm’s adoption of artificial intelligence, legal project management and data analytics, and, in 2018, he was seconded to Diligen, a leading AI contract review company based in Toronto.

Today, he discusses the ways in which technology can help lawyers and their clients, his recommendations for practice management tools, his contact management tool, and those law firm processes which he feels could be improved. Aaron also offers his opinion on the type of person needed to improve the legal profession, his perspective on the level of technology adoption within the profession, an explanation of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies complete with an example. Where Aaron puts his money, his investments, his current life and disability insurance, and his definition of financial independence are also covered. Our conversation concludes with the importance of running a financial independence projection, and the instructive power of talking about personal finance. Confident, articulate, and always striving to generate improvements, Aaron is filled with valuable information and ideas, and he shares so many of them here today.
