Experienced legal tech users know that no matter how powerful or useful a new piece of technology may be, if it doesn’t fit into a legal organization’s processes, or their broader technology strategy, it its likely to cause more trouble than good.

Kathryn (Katie) Debord understands this challenge likely better than most, having worked in both the legal tech market and in a law firm. Debord joined e-discovery provider DISCO as its vice president of product strategy in June 2022, after spending almost a decade at Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner, where she most recently served as the firm’s chief innovation officer.
