On today’s minisode of LegalTechTalk Uncovered 2025, we talk to returning guest Sahar Farooqi (now CEO of Legalencia, formerly CEO of LegalNC). He is now a leading legal transformation expert and barrister, renowned for driving change in law firms worldwide. With decades of experience as a commercial dispute resolution specialist and advocacy partner (at DAC Beachcroft, DWF, and Harneys), he’s guided firms through digital culture, governance, and tech integration challenges. A high-profile LinkedIn influencer with over 40,000 followers, Sahar regularly shares insights on modernising the profession, using social media for network-building, and championing collaborative strategies to improve access to justice.
🔍 We Discussed the Following Questions:
❓ What is LegalNC, and what problem is it trying to solve?
❓ Why do law firms resist change, particularly around culture and tech integration?
❓ What assumptions do people still get wrong about legal tech?
❓ Why do some believe legal tech is too expensive or not for them?
