Article in Artificial Lawyer: ‘The Platform Vs Specialist Debate is Asking the Wrong Question’
What if the real question is not whether legal teams need broad platforms or specialist tools, but what high-volume legal work actually requires today?
In a new article for Artificial Lawyer, JUNE Co-Founder Katja Nikolaus looks at the ongoing platform vs. specialist debate and argues that both sides are missing the point. Broad platforms often lack the depth needed for specific legal areas, while point solutions can create fragmented tool landscapes with no clear view across matters.
The article explains why this becomes especially visible in high-volume legal work. One event can quickly turn into thousands of parallel matters, from EU261 passenger claims and data protection incidents to regulatory waves and serial claims. At that scale, the challenge is no longer only about handling one case well. It is about keeping visibility, deadlines, documents, escalation paths, and reporting under control across thousands of similar files.
For JUNE, the answer lies in combining legal depth where it matters with a shared process layer across the whole lifecycle. That means specialist handling for each legal regime, while intake, deadlines, documents, workflows, and reporting stay connected in one operating structure.
