When it comes to working with hundreds or thousands of documents during complex litigation, many an attorney has thought “there has got to be a better way.” Alma Asay was a litigator at Gibson Dunn, when she turned that thought into a reality. She created Allegory, a cloud-based software platform for managing case information, so that lawyers could manage litigation with tools beyond Excel spreadsheets and shared folders. Allegory now has clients across the country, helping lawyers automate tedious tasks, run helpful queries, connect key pieces of information, and win cases.
