Attorney & Legal Technology

Chris
Penza

I'm an attorney and prosecutor who spent years trying to change how legal services are priced and delivered. The legal industry doesn't have a technology problem — it has a pricing problem. These are my tools and writing for lawyers who want to think differently.


Rethinking how legal
work gets valued

The legal industry does not have a technology problem. It has a pricing problem. When firms bill by time, time becomes the product — and efficiency becomes a threat. I spent years building tools and arguments for a different approach: pricing legal work based on complexity, skill, risk, and value.

I'm now a prosecutor, doing public service work that gives me purpose. But before I closed that chapter, I wanted to leave the tools and ideas here for lawyers who are ready to think differently.
