Level Legal Selected to Join the Global Legal Blockchain Consortium

Aug 8, 2019

Dallas, Texas – Level Legal has been selected to join more than 60 large companies, law firms, and universities to become part of the Global Legal Blockchain Consortium (GLBC). The consortium is organizing and aligning global legal industry stakeholders to enhance the security, privacy, productivity, and interoperability of blockchain technology. In addition, the GLBC adopts policies that promote a universal blockchain-based technology infrastructure for law.

“We are excited to join the GLBC and collaborate with the legal practitioners and technology leaders in GLBC,” said Level Legal CEO Joey Seeber. “We are committed to investing time and resources into technology with the goal of extending value to our clients.”

Blockchain is a distributed digital database of encrypted transactions running on millions of devices connected through distributed networks. Once a transaction is authenticated, data in a blockchain is resistant to modification, hacking, or deletion. Blockchain technology looks set to influence every aspect of the legal industry, from corporate identity, to criminal, to intellectual property, to real estate, and beyond.

“Blockchain has the potential to become an important platform for the digital transformation of the legal profession,” said Level Legal Director of Innovation Leigh Vickery. “I am honored to be working alongside the GLBC and its many innovative members to propel this initiative forward.”

The GLBC will have multiple functions, including webinars, platform infrastructures, community building, thought leadership, and education. Its first Annual Meeting is on August 19 in Washington, DC, immediately prior to the ILTA convention, with more than a dozen organizations scheduled to provide demos.

Our Framework

Understand.

During this phase, we work to step away from any assumptions and guesses about what our customers needs, and let our research findings inform our decision-making. We learn more about our customers, their problems, wants, and needs, and the environment or context in which they will use the solution we offer.

Our Framework

Define.

During the Define phase, we analyze our research findings from the Understand phase and determine what is the most important problem to solve — and why. This step defines the goal. Then we can give a clear problem statement, describing what our customers’ needs are that we are trying to solve, making sure that we heard and defined their problem correctly.

Our Framework

Solve.

This phase is an important part of the discipline in our process. People often settle for the first solution, but the most obvious solution is often not the right one. During the Solve phase, we brainstorm collaboratively with multiple stakeholders to generate many unique solutions. We then analyze our potential solutions and make choices about which are the best to pursue based on learnings in the Understand phase.

Our Framework

Build & Test.

This phase is critical in developing the right solution to our customers’ problem. An organized approach to testing can help avoid rework and create exceptional outcomes. Starting small and testing the solution, we iterate quickly, before deploying solutions across the entire project.

Our Framework

Act.

During this phase, the hard work of prior phases comes to life in our customers’ best solution. The research, collaboration, and testing performed prior to project kick-off ensure optimal results.

Our Framework

Feedback.

At the project completion, we convene all stakeholders to discuss what went well, what could have been better, and how we might improve going forward. We call these meetings “Retrospectives,” and we perform them internally as a project team, and with our external customers. The Retrospective is one of the most powerful, meaningful tools in our framework.
