A Conversation With Seal Software's Laurie Maroun Brasner

Columnist Zach Abramowitz explores technology to deal with contracts.

A few weeks ago, I put out a call to people who were changing the way law is practiced to reach out to me so I could tell their stories right here on ATL.  I was overwhelmed by the reaction.  My in-box was flooded by emails from all sorts of entrepreneurs, lawyers and interesting people who are disrupting the way that law is practiced.  One of the companies that got in touch, Seal Software, hasn’t been covered much in the news, but is growing very rapidly.  Started as a bootstrapped company in 2010, the company has already raised $4M in VC funding, has four offices around the world and has close to 100 people on staff.

Okay, so what does Seal do? They apply machine learning technology to automatically discover, analyze and report on the tens of thousands of contracts that can exist throughout an organization. Seal provides the contractual insights that would normally take expert legal teams hours of tedious work to unearth.  If you understood that, then you are smarter than me, but clearly Seal is doing something right.  So, to get a better sense for what Seal is doing and their potential impact on the legal industry, I have invited Laurie Maroun Brasner, a Biglaw veteran (first at Shearman then at Cadwalader) and now senior management at Seal to join me for a conversation.
