The legal industry, as we know it, is undergoing rapid change. Currently, it does not work for, and align the interests of clients, law firms and law schools and their graduates. We want to be a part of the solution to this challenge. As our name implies, Legal Innovators is designed to be an innovative legal services provider of highly qualified and well trained junior level lawyers to law firms and corporate legal departments at more cost effective rates. Our core competency is to provide an integrated suite of talent management solutions, on an outsourced basis, primarily at the junior associate ranks, to our clients. We want to provide the best talent across the board. We also have an unyielding commitment to diversity and inclusion. We believe, if we can assist in making the law more diverse and, as well as more inclusive, all will be better served. My focus as CEO is in driving this strategic vision and in ensuring we are not just taking the same old approaches that have yet to work on the very vexing problems that face the legal industry. Finally, we will seek new and creative ways to use technology to drive efficiency within the big law space.
