When it comes to forging a career in the legal industry, technology might not seem the obvious path. Over the last several years, however, tech has come to play an increasingly important role for attorneys as well as for their clients.

In turn, a legal tech career is not only seen as essential to the business of law but one that can provide significant opportunities for those willing to travel that path.

In this first episode of DISCO's Just Hearsay podcast series, hosts Andrew Shimek, Chief Revenue Office at DISCO, and Kristin Zmrhal, Vice President of Product, talk in-depth with Katie DeBord, who recently joined DISCO as Vice President of Product Strategy, about how all their careers eventually led them to legal technology and how the reliance on technology in the legal space has changed over the years.

Just Hearsay is a new podcast series sponsored by DISCO. In the second episode, Shimek, Zmrhal and DeBord return to discuss what specific technologies are changing the legal landscape.
