<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To say that</span> <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/ghiassi/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Stevie Ghiassi</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">is a busy man is an understatement. In addition to founding</span> <a href="https://www.legaler.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Legaler</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, a secure video meeting platform for lawyers, the Australia-born entrepreneur is the founder of the recently launched</span> <a href="https://legaleraid.org/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Legaler Aid</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, a charity to support social justice legal cases worldwide, and founder of the</span> <a href= "https://www.globallegaltechreport.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Global Legal Tech Report</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, which will release its final report in December after nearly a year of surveying legal tech around the world. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As if those projects were not enough to occupy his time, Ghiassi is the founding president of the</span> <a href="https://alta.law/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Australian Legal Technology Association</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and founder of the organization</span> <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/ghiassi/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Blockchain for Law</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode of LawNext, Ghiassi — who is now based in Los Angeles — joins host Bob Ambrogi to share his story of how he became involved in legal technology, describe how he developed and built Legaler into a platform used by lawyers worldwide, discuss his vision for how Legaler Aid will use blockchain and crowdfunding to address access to justice, and offer findings from the Global Legal Tech Report. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you would like to share a comment on this show, you can record a voice comment on you
