I am a long-time evangelist focused on the multi-disciplinary delivery of legal services—how we leverage legal expertise through process and technology.

I am a legal tech founder twice over now. I’m also a writer, blogger, and speechifier about the present/future of the legal market with Unless You Ask, a guidebook I wrote for the Association of Corporate Counsel, being my most prominent contribution to the discourse (well, that, or my series on legal marketing bullshit :-).
