The American Bar Association has named tech entrepreneur Flo Nicolas to its 2023 list of Women in Legal Tech — one of only 11 recipients chosen from across the country.

Starting in 2015, the ABA’s list aims to highlight women in the legal tech space in hopes of encouraging more women to join their ranks. According to the organization’s website, “One of the American Bar Association’s core values is a commitment to diversity, which the Law Practice Division aims to reinforce in the legal tech sector. From tech founders and CEOs to small business owners, women are making a big impact on legal tech in every field.”

Nicolas holds a powerful presence in New Hampshire’s tech sector with her online TV show Get Tech Smart, which she founded to showcase emerging technologies in the state, and DEI Directive, a digital platform executives can use to better measure their organizations’ DEI initiatives.

In addition, Nicolas was also chosen to participate in the ABA’s 2023 Women of Legal Tech Summit, taking place virtually on Sept. 13, where she will present on “Creating Inclusive Tech: Inclusive Legal Innovation.”

In a LinkedIn post announcing the award, Nicolas wrote, “I’m committed to championing access and opportunities for all in legal tech and across tech sectors. Inclusion means creating innovative technology that’s open to everyone. Let’s shape a future where technology knows no boundaries and offers equal access to all.” — AMANDA ANDREWS
