When you think of America’s most innovative companies, you don’t normally include law firms on the list. But that’s exactly where you’ll find Wilson Sonsini, who this year made Fast Company’s list of Most Innovative Companies. That’s in large part due to the work of the firm’s Chief Innovation Officer, David Wang. During David’s tenure, Wilson Sonsini has spun out a software legal services arm called Six Fifty, and it has recently launched a tech-enabled legal services business for entrepreneurs called Neuron. The spinoff will digitize common legal processes along a startup’s journey, including matters such as incorporation, capitalization management, corporate maintenance, and financings. Why might a global powerhouse provide such services to startups? Because the firm’s future powerhouse clients might just be the startups of today. Prior to David’s work with Wilson Sonsini, he practiced corporate and securities law for more than 10 years, working with private and public companies on general corporate and transactional matters, including at Wilson Sonsini and Davis, Polk & Wardwell. As the traditional model for legal services is increasingly tested, it is innovators like David who will create the future of law firms.
