Andrew Shimek, DISCO Chief Revenue Officer, and Kristin Zmrhal, DISCO VP of Product Strategy, said: “The industry needs more people advocating for the adoption of new technologies and digital transformation initiatives that meet the realities of today’s legal world.

“More and more of our legal audience are subscribing to podcasts to keep current about changes in our industry, and looking to understand how technology is changing the legal field, whether it’s developments in AI and machine learning or the impact of the cloud on ediscovery,” said Carlos Curbelo, vice president and legal marketing leader at ALM, which publishes Law.com. “Many of these innovations are changing how legal professionals are approaching their careers, and the need for continuing education is important to them.”
