In Episode 12, we talk to Jae Um, founder of Six Parsecs, an insights company for the legal industry.

The conversation with Jae is wide ranging. We discuss Han Solo, the true distance of a parsec and how she came up with the name for her company.

Jae explains that a “new normal” confronts many law firms and discusses how they must now compete for business post-2008 recession.

Jae also talks about how “data viz” (or data visualization) helps explain information and why it is not helpful to use the “Because Lawyers” excuse as the reason change does not always come quickly to the legal industry.

Technically Legal is hosted by Chad Main, an attorney and the founder of Percipient, a tech-enabled alternative legal services provider.
