Q1: Many legal technologies have been developed by non-lawyers, which leads us to ask a question that is almost a challenge to traditional legal actors: Do LegalTechs belong to lawyers?
Q2: Faced with these changes in the legal world, we wanted to ask Thomas Saint-Aubin what he thought of current legal training. Have they integrated the current upheaval? Are law schools adapting? What about universities?
Q3: Some people like disruptive innovation, i.e. innovation that starts from a new framework. Others prefer soft innovation, i.e. innovation that aims to improve what already exists. Which does Thomas Saint-Aubin prefer?
Q4: Faced with this digitalisation of the legal world, what are the public authorities doing? Are they doing enough to bring French justice into the modern age?
Q5: The technology is there. Lawyers must seize it, provided they understand what it can do for them. So, Thomas Saint-Aubin, what contribution can lawyers make?
Q6: Blockchain is one of the most talked about technologies in law. As the technology behind Bitcoins, lawyers could have a very interesting use for it.
Q7: Between the public authorities on the one hand (government, local authorities, independent administrative authorities) and legalTech on the other, we can ask about the associative world. How important is it? What is its role?
Q8: At a conference, Thomas Saint-Aubin, in a shocking phrase, stated that there were only two dates to remember in law. We wanted to know more, so we asked him. It is of course the subject of the opening of legal data
Q9: Thomas Saint-Aubin is very active. He has several activities that he agrees to present to us: Legal Innovation Paris Seraphin.Legal (augmented lawyer with a dose of interprofessionality), Fast Arbitre (online mediation/conciliation), AboutInnovation.com (intellectual property), Legal RH. The technologies used are diverse: Blockchain, contract generator, data, marketplace, compliance, signature. He promotes tailor-made LegalTech with what he calls his Legaltech Studio. Moreover, it maintains an ecosystem with its Privacy Tech (RGPD), the Ejustice consortium, Open Law.
Q10: LegalTech Africa is Thomas Saint-Aubin's latest project. He explains why this adventure is particularly stimulating for him.
