The Women of Australian Legal Technology Association (WALTA) have released a research paper on ‘Diversity in Legal Tech - it’s time for action’. Sponsored by PEXA and researched in partnership with Alpha Creates, the paper highlights the data around diversity in law and legal technology in both a domestic and international landscape, and then focuses on three call to actions on what can be done and how we can make a difference - greater and more eligible funding, amplifying female voices, and making women in legaltech visible.
