“Innovation” is one of those buzzwords repeated so often that it makes most lawyers' eyes glaze over. Yet behind the hype are exciting technologies and business strategies that promise to transform the work of lawyers and their relationships with clients. For those who really want to understand the profound changes in the legal industry, ALM's annual Legalweek is the place to be.

In this episode of Legal Speak, Law.com technology editor Ian Lopez and reporter Ben Hancock report directly from the conference floor and share the ideas and, yes, innovation that got them excited as they spoke with legal industry leaders and change-makers at last week's conference.

They break down some of the conference's biggest trends and share highlights of their conversations with individuals driving disruption in the legal industry, including investigative reporter Brian Krebs, an expert on law firm security threats; UnitedLex CEO Dan Reed, who's company just may lead a legal services delivery revolution; Luminance CEO Emily Foges, who says lawyers are growing less afraid of AI; and Holland & Knight's Joe Dewey, who heads the law firm's innovation (yes, innovation) committee.
