Jim Delkousis
Jim Delkousis is the founder and CEO of PERSUIT, a New York-based legal technology company that helps corporate legal teams run competitive, transparent processes for hiring outside counsel. A former DLA Piper litigation partner with 25 years in BigLaw, he left the partnership in 2016 to build a platform that shifts legal buying from billable hours toward outcomes and value. PERSUIT now works with Fortune 1000 legal departments and thousands of law firms, and in 2025 expanded into legal spend and matter management by acquiring Apperio.
Anna McGrane
Anna McGrane is co-founder and CEO of PacerPro, a San Francisco legal-tech company that turns the clunky federal court records system, PACER, into clean, automated workflows used inside nearly half of the Am Law 100. A former international lawyer who practiced securities law in Moscow and energy regulation in Beijing, she speaks five languages, read her first legal brief at twelve, and walked away from the law-firm track in 2014 to build software with her brother. She is a Fastcase 50 honoree and a Women of Legal Tech honoree.
