LegalTech - How Quarles & Brady Is Embracing Technological Change

For 125 years, Quarles & Brady LLP has provided quality legal services to a wide range of industries on a national stage. The firm strives to learn their clients’ businesses—to see the horizons through their eyes. The multidisciplinary AmLaw 200 legal services provider has 500 attorneys practicing at the top of the profession in Chicago, Indianapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Naples, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tampa, Tucson, and Washington, D.C.

Quarles & Brady have built a reputation on providing sophisticated legal services to clients across the world. But they were also tackling some of the stereotypes around the legal industry being slow to adopt change, innovation, and tech. Brad Vynalek joins me on my daily tech podcast to discuss legal tech and much more. Brad serves as a counselor and advisor on strategy, exposure, and enterprise opportunity for clients ranging from local start-ups to Fortune 500 companies.

Brad also works very closely with law departments to create and manage budgets and create optimal teams for a variety of legal services in the banking, high-tech, Internet, software, manufacturing, e-commerce, health care, higher education, and tech transfer industries.

Within the firm, in addition to having been elected to the national management committee, Brad holds national roles ranging from client service team leader to national strategy partner. Since joining the firm 20 years ago, Brad’s roles have ranged from recruiting law school students and lateral attorneys for the firm nationally to leading mentoring and strategic growth initiatives.

Meanwhile, he also has provided pro bono services for the Volunteer Lawyers Program, Wills for Heroes, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
