The guests on his podcast mainly come from Brightflag’s customer base and community, with a focus on trailblazers and thought leaders in the legal ops industry. Alex talks about how the podcast serves as an educational platform, providing insights and lessons learned from experienced professionals to benefit the emerging generation within the legal ops field.

The conversation shifts to Brightflag's role in the legal tech industry. Alex describes Brightflag as a modern e-billing and matter management platform for corporate legal teams. Their commitment is to help legal teams and their finance partners operate more efficiently, aided by AI-powered technology and exceptional customer support.

Mary and Alex agree that while matter management entails capturing essential data and acting as a system of record for legal matters, the specific tools and software best suited for different legal functions may vary.

The conversation turns to the changing ecosystem of legal tech. With an increasing variety of companies offering flexible talent, managed services and other specialized roles, it's important to select the right tech tool for each task. This includes contract workflows, IP management systems for intellectual property matters, and other specialized tools.
