About Ian Nelson
I’m the co-founder of Hotshot, a video-based learning platform for lawyers. The rest of the world is using short videos and interactive apps to learn and teach and we think it’s time the legal industry had the opportunity to do the same thing. Before starting Hotshot, I helped start and run Practical Law Company in the US and was Practical Law’s head of marketing (before and after the acquisition by Thomson Reuters), where my team and I introduced the concept of know-how to the US and launched offerings to the law school, law firm and in-house markets. Before that I practiced as a corporate lawyer in New York and London. I graduated with honors from Hofstra Law and served as an editor of the Hofstra Law Review. I was also proud to be named to the "FastCase 50" class of 2019. Hotshot creates short, practical videos and related content to teach legal, business, and technology skills to lawyers. We help firms deliver modern, effective training in an affordable and scalable way. Our subscribers include Am Law 100 and 200 firms, top law schools, and regional and international firms.
