As job opportunities in the legal tech markets in the U.S. and U.K. grow, some entrepreneurs are venturing into regions of the world with more nascent legal tech scenes to find new talent, lured by the prospect of "outside the box" thinkers. 

To be sure, legal tech is no stranger to the idea of hiring from a homogenous pool of talent in established markets. The results are often polished products that are built by following a well-worn path, recruiters say.

However, when talent is mobilized from regions with a young legal tech market, and from a judicial system that is less mature, entrepreneurs are finding it may yield more innovative products than those developed by tried and true hires from areas like Silicon Valley. They warn, however, that the road is often risky, time-consuming, and uncertain.
