In this short video, I talk about the panels which I took part in at the LegalTech Asia Technology Summit at the beginning of March. The Summit was run jointly by ALM and its Education Partner ILTA.
One of those sessions was a discussion with Menachem Hasofer of Mayer Brown JSM about the proposed new Hong Kong eDiscovery practice direction. The other was a discussion about the cultural differences which face departmental leaders in managing staff in the diverse range of countries known collectively as “Asia”.
I end with my view that Hong Kong seems to be re-entering the contest with Singapore for AsiaPac dispute resolution and that either of them competes with London at a time when the UK’s civil litigation process seems set on self-destruction at the hands of an inept Ministry of Justice and over-active senior judges.
