What is cross-platform app development?

The term “cross platform” has been bandied about in a variety of ways, especially since the creation of the Java language which allowed programs to run on different types of devices and operating systems. In this article, cross platform app development will be used in the sense of writing a single software application which runs across multiple platforms. A platform can mean many things – it can mean hardware architecture (e.g. ARM, the usual chips used in phones as compared to AMD64/x64, the usual chips used in desktops and laptops), operating system (Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac, Linux), type of deployment (native versus web) etc. I will generally be focusing on the applications which can run across the web/native divide as well as multiple device type (i.e. iPhone, Android and desktop), and how it impacts the legal tech landscape.

What are some examples of legal secretarial work that are repetitive, and which your company has helped automated?

Two examples are (1) billings and (2) document preparation. These are areas of legal practice in which automation is possible and useful.

Let me illustrate what a law firm has to do without the aid of automation when issuing  bills or doing substantive legal work such as conveyancing, personal injury, debt collection and corporate secretarial work.

What do you think of Singapore’s Legal Tech Vision released by the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL)?

It is a very ambitious and timely roadmap for law firms in Singapore. It’s a call for law firms to start embracing technology and innovation.

In contrast, for the longest time, lawyers have thought that our work is so different and unique that it is not susceptible to disruption by technology. I think that is changing. The Legal Tech Vision is really telling the legal landscape that everyone should sit up and take note of what’s going on.
