Our most recent event was also the first in what is partially the hometown of Evolve Law. Our February 18 event "Legal Innovation: trends & Ethics from Different Perspectives" was hosted by Evolve Law members Ipro Tech in Phoenix. The evening's panel was moderated by Kim Taylor, CEO and President of Ipro Tech, and featured Josh King, General Counsel at Avvo; Maria Speth, Shareholder at Jaburg Wilk; Marc Chelsey, CEO of BMD Advisers; and Tighe Wilhelmy, VP Business Development at Local Lawyer Guide.

The legal tech field can be a tough one. and one of the most challenging aspects is fundraising. Finding investors who understand what you do can be difficult. Our recent "Investment in Legal Tech" event brought together an enthusiastic panel to try and shed light on this issue.

Recently I had the pleasure of delivering my feisty co-founder’s Investment in Legal Tech Darwin Talk in Toronto, Canada. As I was preparing, I thought how much other legal tech startups could benefit from hearing about some recent fundraising efforts.  I reached out to Evolve Law members who have raised capital and added in my Traklight experience.
