About the Series

For 2021, the Europe edition of Fresh Voices of Legal Tech is a collaboration between ILTA and InclusiTech with the intention of sharing the different career opportunities in the tech industry that can be accessible for all. Each episode of the podcast will discuss our thoughts and views on the latest hot topics and feature someone from the tech industry to give us a little insight into their role.

Join us for the first-ever DEI podcast, EQUITABLE CONVERSATIONS. This all-new podcast is hosted by Karina Willes, PhD, MBA, PMP, Senior Project Manager at Foley & Lardner LLP, and ILTA’s own Beth Anne Stuebe, Director of Publications and Press. They sit down with a rotating series of ILTAns, industry leaders, and SMEs in legal and technology to talk about how diversity, equity, and inclusion are not just buzz words, but practical business choices that move the needle of progress ever-forward. 

For the Fall 2021 edition of HopsCast, Beth Anne Stuebe, ILTA Director of Publications & Press, interviews Angela Dowd, Director of Practice Innovation at Burns & Levinson LLP, and Leland Smith, Technical Relationship Manager at Conversant Group, at ILTACON 2021. They talk all things tech, co-authoring, and of course, about baseball, and hops. 

Our second featured podcast Woman Leader is Crystal Kelley, IT User Support Manager at Troutman Pepper. She sits down with our WWL group and talks about her Peer to Peer article, mentors, leadership, and more!
