Alma Asay, founder and CEO of Allegory, can now add “cover girl” to her resume: Asay is the lead story today at Legaltech news!  She’s the latest interviewee in the Ltn “STEM Cell” series that is designed to encourage girls and women (and men) to follow their passions—and not be afraid of the challenges of  science, technology, engineering and math.

Asay, who earned her J.D. at New York University, credits her mentor at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher and her family’s spirit for her success. Read about her company, Allegory, and how she has overcome obstacles, thrived in legal technology, and the advice she offers for all of us who are excited about renovating legal!

BTW: Asay is active in CodeX and was a judge on the “Moot Court 2020: Legal Tech on Trial” panel at last week’s CodeX FutureLaw Conference. She also was recently named as one of the 10 “Women of Legal Tech” 2016 by the American Bar Association’s Legal Technology Resource Center.
