Each episode spotlights one inspiring woman who's transforming the legal technology landscape. This episode highlights Alma Asay. Hear all about her journey, achievements, and the challenges she's overcome, offering inspiration and practical advice for anyone passionate about innovation and leadership.

Today we speak with Alma Asay, senior director of Practice Innovation and Client Value at Crowell & Moring. Alma's interest in innovation began while she was a litigator at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, using technology to improve efficiency for the firm's clients. Without any experience in the technology industry or as an entrepreneur, she founded Allegory, a cloud-based litigation management platform that delivers services and insights across the entire litigation spectrum. The story of her journey with Allegory is a fascinating one of challenges, successes, and enormous perseverance. In 2017, Integreon bought the company, making Alma the first female founder to have a legal technology business acquired. At Crowell & Moring, Alma has built the firm's innovation department, where she and her team address technology and legal operations needs. In today's discussion, Alma talks to us about the lessons she learned in starting a company, the advice she shares with women entrepreneurs, and the impact her traveling experiences have had on her professional life.

While most of us in the legal industry were still finding their sea legs when it came to working from home, today's guests were planning a moon shot experiment of creating a virtual legal conference completely from scratch. Haley Altman and Alma Asay from Litera Microsystems talk with us about their experiences in creating and producing The Changing Lawyer LIVE! virtual conference back in April. There were some victories, and some challenges along the way, but the end result was pretty impressive. As we enter the Summer, many other organizations are looking to do some type of online/virtual conference to make up for the cancellation that most organizations had to do because of the pandemic. There's a steep learning curve, so we are grateful that Haley and Alma shared their experiences with us. Information Inspirations Google is shutting down some of their diversity and inclusion training programs because of either political pressure (which Google denies) or to establish global, scalable diversity programs (whatever that means.) Diversity and inclusion don't just make the workforce look better, many studies have shown that it actually creates a more effective workforce, and drives profit to the bottom line. Harvard Law School helped its incoming students with an online preparatory program called Zero-L. This series of videos and online training helped incoming students understand the processes behind the daily activities of a law student. Now that program is available this summer to everyone. We ponder if a top BigLaw firm might think of creating a Zero-Year Associate online training course that would prepare law students to understand the daily life of an associate and help them understand what the business of running a law firm looks like.

This week, we discussed litigation management software (SaaS), with Alma Asay, Esq., CEO and Founder of AllegoryLaw. This is not law practice management software. AllegoryLaw has created litigation specific software. Interview conducted by LegalTechLIVE co-hosts Nick Rishwain, JD and Ivan Raiklin, Esq.

Alma Asay didn't plan to become a legal entrepreneur. But when she looked for a tool that would help her manage information in her litigation practice, she didn't find it. Instead, she found herself building a piece of software called Allegory that does just that. Peter Aprile and Natalie Worsfold talk to Alma about what she learned when she quit her job to start a company – and what she would want others to know before they make the same choice. Alma talks about the importance of empathy to a legal practice and why your files should always be organized well before trial appears on the horizon.
