What started with emails in the Enron era…is now becoming an AI-driven transformation of the entire legal system.

In this episode of The Litigator’s Edge, Aniket Sawant sits down with Marla Crawford, General Counsel at Cimplifi and a pioneer in eDiscovery, to unpack how legal technology has evolved over the past two decades and where it’s headed next.

From spending 22 years at Jones Day to building Goldman Sachs’ first eDiscovery program, Marla has been at the center of some of the biggest shifts in litigation and legal operations.

This conversation dives into:

• How eDiscovery evolved from manual review to AI-powered workflows
• What really changed after Enron and the rise of email evidence
• How AI is transforming document review, billing, and legal careers
• The growing role of legal technologists in modern law
• Why lawyers must adapt to AI while maintaining ethical oversight
• The story behind the Splash movement and advocacy beyond law

This is not just about legal tech, it’s about how the entire profession is being reshaped in real time.
