    Women of Legal Tech

    LTRC’s Women of Legal Tech initiative is intended to encourage diversity and celebrate women in legal technology. Launched in 2015, the list now includes over 80 talented and influential women leaders.

    One of the American Bar Association's core values is a commitment to diversity, which the Law Practice Division aims to reinforce in the legal tech sector. From tech founders and CEOs to small business owners, women are making a big impact on legal tech in every field.

    In keeping with the spirit of progress, the Legal Technology Resource Center (LTRC) is proud to present its “Women of Legal Tech.” Our goal is to celebrate the women currently in the legal tech space and to encourage more women to join the ranks.

    "Women of Legal Tech" began in 2015 with an initial list created by Law Technology Today contributor and practice management advisor, Heidi Alexander. The LTRC Board will continue to highlight more talented women each year.
