The evolution of the legal technology industry has been a swift one over the past 10 years, and those companies in legal tech are seeing expansion and unprecedented change. In order to keep up, and develop new strategies, worldwide litigation services and software development company Opus 2 International has appointed Liza Pestillos-Ocat as head of the company's U.S. operations.

With 14 years of experience in the legal tech industry, Pestillos-Ocat has seen her fair share of changes in the market. Speaking to Legaltech News, she said, “There were so many significant changes in the legal technology industry over the past several years. Among them is the exponential growth and increased complexity of discoverable data that has generally increased the cost of litigation and put pressure on law firms to implement tools and processes that make them more efficient.”

She noted that as a result of witnessing these changes and different pressures on firms, she is keen on bringing products to market that are simple and intuitive, do not need much training, and can be implemented almost instantaneously. She also aims to help provide managed services that are tailored to meet the needs of law firms.
