I am an advocate for more effective delivery of legal solutions to purchasers of legal services: consumers, small business, and corporate legal departments. The legal profession has lost touch with what it's clients need and want. Technology and the Internet is transforming the way legal services will be delivered now and in the future.

I am the founder of The Granat Group, a consultancy and investor in legal industry start-ups.

The Granat Group operates SmartLegal Forms and DirectLaw, a company that enables law firms to deliver legal services online using our virtual law firm technology.
