Richard Granat’s Summary

I have been involved in developing innovative legal service delivery systems for over 35 years, with a focus on the intersection of information technology and law practice and with the goal of providing more accessible, transparent, and affordable legal services.

My goal is to enable a legal industry that is less dominated my attorneys and law firms and driven more by client needs and interests and which offers legal solutions that people can afford.

The United Kingdom has recently deregulated the legal profession with the idea of making the legal profession more responsive to the needs of the average consumer. I would like to see these kinds of reforms instituted in the United States.

Richard Granat’s Specialties:

"pro se" representation, expert systems and the law, "unbundled" legal services, the use of Internet technology to increase law firm productivity, ethical issues in the marketing and delivery of legal services over the Internet, regulation of legal information web sites.
