Bryan Cave is on a mission. Like a growing number of law firms, it has realized the pivotal role technology will play in tomorrow's legal market. As a result, it set out to adopt technologies and change the way the firm works. Through its Bryan Cave Business Academy, for instance, the law firm looks to inform associates how the legal business is evolving and discuss new ways to adapt to growing tech disruption.

But Bryan Cave isn't just hoping to stay ahead of the curve—it is also helping to train the next generation of potential associates to hit the ground running. For the second year in a row, Bryan Cave has partnered with the University of Colorado Law School to offer a legal tech-focused seven month internship to a current law student.

The internship is a part of the law school's Tech Lawyer Accelerator program, which is run by the school's Silicon Flatirons Center for Law, Technology, and Entrepreneurship. This year, the internship was given to student Jenna Baranko, who will support Bryan Cave's work for the legal department at franchise restaurant company Red Robin.
