The Automation Architect: Dorna Moini

Dorna Moini didn't set out to build legal tech infrastructure—she started by trying to automate forms for legal aid organizations. That practical approach led her to create Gavel, the platform now powering major legal tech companies and enabling lawyers to transform traditional practices into scalable legal products.

In this episode, Dorna shares her journey from big law to building technology that serves as the backbone for companies like Hello Divorce and Just Tech. She reveals how lawyers are using Gavel to work from anywhere while serving more clients, why specialization beats generalization in building a career, and how her latest AI innovation helps lawyers draft better contracts by learning from their firm's institutional knowledge. With over 100 law schools using Gavel and legal aid organizations scaling their impact, Dorna's story shows how solving real problems leads to transformative technology.
