Member Spotlight

Explore the Experiences of our Esteemed Members in the Legal Technology
Industry and Discover the Transformational Impact of BUILT Membership!

I see BUILT as a vehicle essential to closing the black diversity gap in the Legal Tech space. Addressing the diversity gap is important because it is the best protection against the twin evils of bias and discrimination in our field. Ensuring that those protections are in place and that they are robust must be the cornerstone of any profession, particularly one like Legal Tech whose title itself conveys principles of fairness and justice.
