I have learned by now that there is no point in attempting a wide-ranging summary of the themes and players at LegalTech because Gary MacFadden will do a much more comprehensive job of it than the rest of us put together. I bumped into him ten yards into my first foray into the exhibit hall and decided I would learn much more by talking to him than by any amount of wandering the floors.

His summary duly appeared on his Parity Research blog, with the title Information Governance Reshaping eDiscovery Landscape: A Major Theme at LegalTech 2013. He helpfully includes links to round-ups  by others, leaving me free to cherry-pick a few subjects which matter most to me.

His report is long, but there are no wasted words in it and I will not trouble you with a summary. The last part of it is a list of providers who caught Gary’s eye as he strode round the floors, which serves as a snapshot of  many of the main players.

The picture above, incidentally, is a miniature of Gary MacFadden’s “IG Landscape Super Quadrant” which is explained in his article.
