In this episode, James sits down with Nick Foster, Technical and Consultancy Director at CyFor, a former police officer turned legal tech expert with a fascinating story to tell.

Nick spent over a decade in law enforcement specialising in digital forensics before moving into the private sector with organisations including BT and Anexsys. He now leads technical and consultancy operations at CyFor, bringing a uniquely grounded perspective to the world of e-discovery.

In this episode we cover: Why personal relationships still matter more than ever in legal tech, and why clients want to pick up the phone, not raise a ticket. The role of AI in e-discovery, the opportunities, the efficiencies, and why some law firms are still hesitant to fully embrace it. Why Nick describes e-discovery as a creative process, and how giving talented people room to think leads to better outcomes for clients. Nick’s journey from policing to private sector, and what that unique background brings to legal tech. “You’re only as good as the people you work with.” — Nick Foster
