Bio

Lourdes is a veteran litigator with over 20 years of experience in high stakes matters. She is a graduate from the University of Pennsylvania Law School and Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service.  While still a partner at Grais & Ellsworth LLP,  she founded Karta Legal, LLC in 2019, a certified woman and minority owned legal technology consultancy and the winner of the 2021 National Law Journal Legal Technology Trailblazer Award. She currently serves as Karta Legal's Chief Executive Officer.

In addition to her law degree and experience, Lourdes is a legal project and process expert, having obtained her Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and Sensei certifications. Throughout her career, Lourdes has worked relentlessly to innovate the practice of law and the delivery of legal services; and she has the track record to prove it. Indeed, in 2019, she received the distinct honor of being named a Trailblazer by the New York Law Journal for being an "agent of change, thought leader and innovator." Most recently, Lourdes was featured on cover of the July 2021 edition of Lawyer's Monthly.

Throughout her career, as a partner in private practice and in her current role as CEO, she has represented governmental and quasi-governmental agencies, as well as publicly-held Fortune 100 companies. Among her most notable achievements during the last decade, she has managed the Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS) litigation on behalf of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and various Federal Home Loan banks. Before that, she handled discovery management in the Bernie Madoff bankruptcy litigation on behalf of the Trustee.

Because of her extensive experience in managing complex legal processes, data, discovery, and logistics, - and her unique background of being a lawyer, a technologist, and a process expert - she created a unique legal technology consultancy with a focus first on people, then on process, and lastly on technology. The mission of the company is to redefine the future of the legal profession and help law firms and legal departments deliver legal services using technology solutions under the framework of process improvement methodologies. To meet this challenge, she has assembled an entire ecosystem of experts and technology under the umbrella of Karta Legal, which happens to also be the only 100% minority and woman own company in this space. Moreover, in furtherance of its mission, under Lourdes's leadership, Karta Legal has launched an online campus to train legal professionals and provide much needed skills in the areas of change management and process improvement.

Outside the office, she serves on the Board of Directors of Birch Family Services, Inc. and on its Audit and Compliance Committee. Lourdes also sits on the Advisory Boards of Higher Talent and The Merlin OpenSource Foundation.
