There’s a shortage of women in science, technology, engineering and math. But within the legal tech community, there are many women with thriving careers. Legaltech News presents our latest “STEM Cell” profile. Alma Asay recently interviewed Emily Hostage, senior vice president and head of special projects at Burford Capital.

This profile is a continuation of the Women of Legal Tech series originally published by editor Monica Bay “in order to inspire girls, women (and men).” Many of the women we profile started their journey in the legal industry. Between October and the end of December 2021, we’ll feature six women of legal tech who started out with a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) background and then transitioned into the legal industry.
