Director of Legal @ Malbek | Legal Tech Author and Commentator | Fastcase 50 2022 Honoree | Legal Tech Startup Advisor and Investor

I help legal professionals, legal teams, and technology organizations make sense of legal technology so they can work smarter, deliver stronger outcomes, and lead with confidence in a field that is often noisy, fragmented, and misunderstood.

As General Counsel of Malbek and a long-time educator, author, and advocate, I sit at the intersection of law, technology, and learning. My work centers on translation. I take complex, fast-moving technologies and turn them into clear concepts, practical strategies, and informed decisions that legal professionals can actually use. Whether guiding teams through digital transformation or shaping how legal products are built and adopted, my focus is always on clarity over hype.

Teaching is core to how I operate. I regularly speak to diverse audiences, from military organizations to law firms and in-house legal departments, as well as large professional groups, on AI’s impact on legal work and the responsible, effective use of technology. Across these settings, my goal is the same: to help people understand not just what tools do, but how they change legal work, roles, and judgment.

That same educational mission runs through my writing and publishing. I am the author of The Legal Tech Ecosystem, a foundational guide to understanding the industry and its players, a co-author of CLM for Dummies, and the editor of the Handbook of Legal Tech. I also write regularly, serve as a columnist for Today’s General Counsel, and contribute through podcasts, webinars, and industry forums. Each platform is another way to make legal tech more accessible, grounded, and actionable.

Across every role, my aim is to equip people with the knowledge and confidence to engage with innovation thoughtfully and critically. If you are trying to cut through the legal tech noise, educate your team, modernize how your legal function operates, or build tools that truly serve legal professionals, I help move you from uncertainty to understanding and from learning to execution.

Let’s build what comes next.

Running a small or midsize law firm means wearing a hundred different hats. You’re managing cases, clients, and the business. Marketing and communications work often ends up last on the list, even though it makes a difference in the quality of your workday and your firm’s long-term health. 

That’s where I help. 

I work with legal teams to help them attract the right clients and create more collaborative client relationships so they can build sustainable practices and meaningful work lives. 

Here’s how we do it:

📌Surface your most important marketing and communications challenges

📌Decide what success looks like and set measurable goals

📌Create a strategy for how we’ll achieve your goals

📌Develop marketing and communications assets to support the strategy (e.g., websites, bios, social, newsletters, ghostwriting, blog posts, articles, case studies)

📌Track progress so we can learn, iterate, and improve

Before I opened my consultancy, I spent 15 years in legal and policy roles, including 3 years as a litigator at a small law firm. I understand the challenges of balancing client service with running a business. If you’d like a little more breathing room in your day, I’d love to help you get there.
