Greetings
from the Exec
J
ack Welch, once said,
several years after retiring
from GE, “strictly speaking,
shareholder value is the dumbest
idea in the world.” I could not
agree more. I do not understand
how our competitors can
claim to have a truly beneficial
relationship with their clients,
given they ultimately answer,
not to their clients, as we do,
but to nameless shareholders.
Bridgeway’s success is
directly tied to our culture of
“relationships.” Because we
are not hampered by quarterly
earnings targets nor shareholder
primacy, we are free to put the
client first.
We sell enterprise legal
management (ELM) software and
services to world-class brands
like Starbucks, Citigroup and 3M.
Our stability and growth over
the past 25 years has hinged
on our respect for the client,
thoughtfully listening to their
need and providing real-world,
in-house legal management
operations know-how. Like you,
the rest of the market has had
to choose between providers
that disrespect your intelligence
by showing loyalty, not to you,
rather nameless shareholders,
along with declarations that
software will “solve all your
problems” and miserably
poor, after-the-sell service. We
knew there had to be a better
way, so we created a company
possessing the flexibility,
character and competence to
solely focus on you and your
desire to perform at a high level.
Bridgeway is dedicated
to serving in-house, legal
professionals and helping
them reach their full potential.
The world in which in-house
professionals and their
companies compete is changing
fast. Bridgeway, more than any
other legal service provider, is
prepared and dedicated to their
success. If you are not already a
client, I hope that you will give
strong consideration to us as
your next business partner. If you
are a client, we can’t thank you
enough for choosing Bridgeway
and look forward to your
continued success!

GREETINGS FROM EXEC

Putting tech,
business, and
law together
to help legal
departments be
more efficient.
K
atrina Keiffer, Manager
of Administration at
Navistar, is a Pioneer in
Legal Technology. When most
people come down with a case
of career burnout, they try to
find other things to focus on.
Some enroll in continuing
education classes or do
volunteer work to find that
missing sense of fulfillment.
Others take a few days of
much-needed vacation time to
recharge. And still others dive
into new hobbies or interests.
But Katrina Keiffer isn’t most
people. And when she began
to feel less-than-enthusiastic
about her very structured IT
career,
she took drastic measures:
She enrolled in law school. Law

had always interested Keiffer,
and she felt that an extra
degree would give her a wider
variety of career options.
“I had a computer science
degree, and I’d found a job
working as a programmer,”
she says. “But it was very
structured. You started as a
programmer, and after two
years you’d be promoted to
senior programmer, and then
every two years or so you’d
move up another little level. In
twenty years, you might get to
be a manager. I just didn’t feel
comfortable with that path. So,
I enrolled in law school.”
Keiffer attended night school
at Loyola University Chicago,
heading to evening classes
after a long day at her IT job.
She took extra classes during
the summer. It was a tough
schedule, she says. But it was
worth the effort – and she even
finished a little early.
“Law school normally takes four
years – but I plowed through
it and got it done in three and
a half,” she says. “I got my
J.D., and I got my law license. I
really enjoyed it. It was a very
interesting experience.”
Pioneering a New Career
After she completed law
school, Keiffer interviewed
with several law firms – but
she soon decided that a
traditional law career might
be a bit too structured for
her. Many firms hiring new law
graduates reminded her of the
IT company she’d recently left
behind.
“When law firms are big enough
to hire people fresh out of
school, they tend to have a very
structured career path,” she
says. “That just didn’t seem like
a good fit for me. Somewhere
along the line I just said, ‘No,
that’s not really me.’”
So, armed with years of IT
experience and a fresh law
degree, Keiffer set out to
forge her own path as an IT
consultant for companies with
in-house legal departments.
In this role, Keiffer helped
corporate attorneys use
technology to organize and
track legal matters; create and
manage reports; and monitor
and reduce legal spending.
Her client list included big
names like Ameritech, Kraft
Foods, and Navistar.
The job was like a dream come
true for Keiffer: She found

a way to combine her legal
expertise with her IT career.
And, most importantly, she was
doing something she liked –
with a career path that didn’t
make her feel boxed in.
“As a consultant, I had more
flexibility and a wider range of
work activities – I enjoyed that,”
she said.
When Keiffer first started out
as a legal/IT consultant, she
was something of a pioneer – it
was the early 2000s, and there
weren’t many people who did
quite what she did. But as more
sophisticated technology was
developed to help people
like Keiffer do their jobs more
effectively, the hybrid IT/legal
consultant field began to
grow. Today, corporate legal
departments have begun hiring
legal technology experts like
Katrina Keiffer on staff. Their
titles vary quite a bit: Some are
called “IT project managers.”
Others are called “legal
department managers.” But
no matter the title, the job and
qualifications are very similar:
Drawing on an understanding
of technology, business, and
law to help legal departments
be more efficient.
An Attractive Offer to do
What Matters
In 2006, one of Keiffer’s
consulting clients – Navistar, a
company that manufactures
and services commercial
vehicles like school buses and
trucks – decided to make the
switch to Bridgeway’s eCounsel
legal matter management
system. Keiffer was brought
in to help Navistar’s legal
department with the
conversion to the new system.
In her role as the department’s
go-to eCounsel expert, she
found that the system provided
a much more effective and
accurate way to create and
view reports, access higher
quality data, and keep better
track of invoicing. She says
eCounsel was especially useful
for tracking spending in greater
detail.
“The e-billing function gave
us the ability to laser-focus in
on specific line items in our
legal bills,” she says. “We can
get all kinds of operational
reporting out of the eCounsel
system – and we can get
that information much more
quickly than we were able to
do before. We can see every
phone call; every copy that a
legal firm makes – and we can
see we’re spending X amount
“As a consultant, I had more
flexibility and a wider range of
work activities – I enjoyed that.”

of dollars on copies, and that
we could save X amount by
using our preferred vendor. In
the past, before we started
using eCounsel, everything
was manually entered and
there was one entry for ‘fees’ –
plus, there was no way to see
specific spending on travel or
copies. This gives us much
greater visibility into how our
money is spent, which helps
us stay focused on controlling
costs.”
Keiffer enjoyed her consultant
role with Navistar, and she
particularly liked using
eCounsel to help the legal
department save money and
find new opportunities to
collect better data. And, the
company appreciated having
her in that role: In fact, they
appreciated Keiffer’s efforts
and expertise so much
that they offered her a full-
time position as the legal
department’s manager of
administration in early
February 2015.
The move meant that Keiffer
would be managing the
company’s eCounsel system
full-time. It also meant that
she’d have to give up her
consultancy – a big change for
someone wary of being boxed
into a single career path. But
Keiffer loves the work, and she
has no regrets.
“I feel great about my new
career,” she says. “I’m having
a great time. I like the variety
of activities that go on, and
I like understanding how my
work with the eCounsel system
impacts the company. I know
that what I do matters, and
that makes it fun and keeps me
engaged.”

e’re kicking off
our Q&A series
with Harrison
Underwood. Harrison works
out of New York City and
he recently celebrated his
one-year anniversary with
Bridgeway. We sat down with
him recently to discuss his
career path, his passion for
travel and good food, and why
he enjoys being part of the
Bridgeway team.
Q: How long have you been
in the industry?
A: I started in the corporate
world 20 years ago -- but
I actually started out in
marketing for the first year and
a half before I switched to the
legal side of things. I started
working in legal and HR, and
then a little over 10 years ago, I
moved over to legal operations
and legal technology. As a
whole, I’ve been working in
technology and legal area of
HR since 1998.
Q: You’re new to Bridgeway,
right?
A: Yes. I have an interesting
background with Bridgeway: I
was originally working in legal
technology for one of our
competitors. That company
was acquired by a consulting
group, and at that point I was
assigned to the role of liaison
to Bridgeway. The client would
hire my company, and we
would work with Bridgeway
and other vendors, doing
implementation. That was back
in about 2005 or 2006. Now,
I’m getting ready to celebrate
one year as a Bridgeway
employee.
Q: Why did you choose to
work for Bridgeway?
A: Hands down, it was
because of all my experience
working with them as a
liaison. I started my career at
a huge corporation. When

you work at a company with
65,000 employees and you’re
employee #84,505 you kind of
feel that way. When I started
working with Bridgeway, I got a
sense of the type of company it
was: It seemed very friendly --
and very focused on employees
and on client relationships.
You have an interesting
title. What does “Premier
Implementations Center of
Excellence Manager” mean,
exactly?
That title was actually
created for me when I came
to Bridgeway. I have a lot
of background in project
management, and Bridgeway
needed someone to manage
really large, complicated client
projects; to make sure they all
went well and were successful.
“Premier implementation”
means working with full-scale,
extremely large corporations,
like Fortune 100 or 200
companies. And not only are
we implementing our suite of
products – we’re also helping
them rethink their legal
departments. It’s my job to
manage these large projects
from beginning to end, and
to make sure that the project
is successful and the client is
happy.
You work out of New York
City, right? What do you like
about living and working
there?
That’s right. I’ve been here in
New York for about 10 years.
I’m a southern boy at heart, so
being in New York is a little bit
like being a fish out of water
-- this city is so fast and all-
consuming. There are parts I
love and parts that drive me
crazy about living here – but
I’m not sure if I could live in
small town.
Where are you from
originally?
I grew up in Marietta, Georgia,
which is about 10 or 15 minutes
north of Atlanta.
What do you do for fun?
Since my wife and I live in
New York, we like to go to the
theater and go to museums.
We’re also big foodies, so we
like to take advantage of the
great restaurants here. We also
love to travel. My wife is from
Brazil, we go there a couple of
times a year.
What is the one thing you
are truly passionate about?
At work, there are two things
I’m really passionate about:
One is making sure that our
clients are happy. If clients
aren’t happy, we aren’t going
to get business. I’m also
passionate about making sure
that what we deliver to clients
really meets their needs and
exceeds their expectations.
And one thing that I’m
passionate about personally is
cooking. When I was young,
I wanted to be a chef when
I grew up. I spent a lot of
time in the kitchen, cooking
with my grandmother and
great-grandmother, and food
became a huge passion for
me. Food makes me feel calm.
I enjoy getting in the kitchen
and playing around.
What is the one thing you
absolutely hate doing but
“...not only are we implementing our suite of
products – we’re also helping [our clients]
rethink their legal departments.”
EMPLOYEE Q & A

11. 11
one that you have to do
every day?
Vacuuming. I hate the vacuum
cleaner. But we live in small
apartment and we have two
cats, so it seems like I’m always
vacuuming.
If you could have a super
power, what would it be?
I’d like to have some way to
travel fast. I love to travel and
go places, but going to airport
and getting on plane isn’t much
fun. If I could have super speed
or a way to transport myself,
that would be high on my list.
If you could learn to do
anything, what would it be?
A: I would love to be the next
Ken Jennings on “Jeopardy.”
Watching “Jeopardy” is my
favorite nerdy pastime. I’m
pretty good at it.
If you could visit anywhere in
the world, where would you
go?
My goal is to visit all seven
continents. My wife and I are
going to Japan later this year.
Do you have any hidden
talents?
I used to be a competitive
fencer for about ten years. I
tried out for the Olympic
fencing team twice. I have
a bad back so I don’t fence
anymore – but I like to joke that
I’m deadly with an umbrella.
Another thing most people
don’t know is that I like to paint.
Almost all of the artwork in
our apartment is original – it’s
either mine or it’s something
we bought while traveling.
What do you like most about
working for Bridgeway?
When you work for a huge
corporation, you feel like you’re
a number or a cog – and it’s not
that way at Bridgeway. There’s
a real “family” feel when you’re
working there; a real sense that
everybody is there for each
other. Our job can be stressful
at times, but at Bridgeway we
put each other first and that is
such a great gift.

Society Essentials Seminar
Jan 28 – 30, 2015
How the Society Essentials Seminar Stands
Out: Because this is a smaller (less expensive)
seminar, companies use it as a training tool
for new hires. Most of the people I met were
new to their role. This works to our advantage
because it gives us a unique opportunity to
build a relationship with someone who has no
prior prejudice of Bridgeway. They are open
to learn about everything and willing to give
us information others might hesitate to.
What I learned from the Seminar: The
presenters STRONGLY recommend that when
shopping for technology the company base
their decision on the people within the com-
pany they were considering. They empha-
sized that company culture has a huge im-
pact on your overall experience/service. The
assumption is that cost and features should
effect the decision above all else. However,
leaders in the industry believe that you should
choose people and culture over features and
cost.
Personal STAND OUTS from the Seminar:
I enjoyed meeting the members of the Hous-
ton Society – I have since been to one of their
local meetings.

hen Aksa Alex first
came to the Unit-
ed States, she had
a very clear idea of what she
wanted to do for a living: A
graduate of India’s prestigious
National Institute of Fashion
Technology, Alex had spent two
years working for a clothing
factory in Bangalore - -and she
had her heart set on a career
in fashion design. When her
husband, a software engi-
neer, accepted a position in
San Francisco, California, she
figured she wouldn’t have any
trouble finding work in her
industry. Once she started her
job search, though, she was
surprised to find that every
potential employer told her the
same thing: She needed more
technology training.
Although she didn’t know it at
the time, this advice turned out
to be a major turning point in
her life. Aksa enrolled in some
technology courses with the
aim of getting enough experi-
ence to get a foot in the door in
the fashion industry. But some-
where along the way, she came
to an important realization.
“I took software courses for two
years,” she says. “And during
that process, I realized that with
the life I wanted – the kind of
life where I could have a family
and plenty of time to spend
with my kids – it would be much
better to do something related
to computers.”

Fashion is a demanding in-
dustry: Alex recalled the long
hours she worked in her first
fashion job in Bangalore – it
wasn’t unusual to work until 10
or 11 PM, six days a week. That
wasn’t the kind of lifestyle she
wanted.
So, she changed course and set
her sights on an entirely differ-
ent kind of design. She found a
job creating software for a Bay
Area company, and eventually
she worked her way up to the
position of user experience en-
gineer. From her perspective,
it was a job that was still essen-
tially about design.
“User experience is about
designing software and making
sure that it’s easy for people to
use,” she says. “It’s about cre-
ating something to help make
people more productive.”
Although Alex and her hus-
band both enjoyed their jobs
and life in San Francisco, there
were some downsides to living
in the Bay Area: Housing was
expensive and the couple faced
long commute times. Educa-
tion was expensive too: The
couple’s two daughters were in
private school. Eventually, Alex
and her husband decided to
relocate; to settle somewhere
with a slower pace and more
opportunities for a better work-
life balance. They heard good
things about Texas, so Alex’s
husband put in for a transfer
to his company’s Houston-area
office.
It was a leap of faith, Alex ad-
mits – but things worked out for
the best. Within a few months
of moving to Texas, she was
hired as a senior user experi-
ence designer with
Bridgeway. She loves the work,
and she loves the fact that
Bridgeway encourages employ-
ees to collaborate and share
ideas. She also appreciates the
company’s focus on things like
employee health and main-
taining a work/life balance. At
Bridgeway, Alex can have a
fulfilling and challenging ca-
reer -- and she still has time to
volunteer with her church and
spend plenty of time with her
family.
“My kids are happy,” she says.
“I’m doing design, and I work
for a company that really under-
stands the importance of work/
life balance. In San Francisco,
you see a lot of people working
12-hour days; that’s a struggle
when you’re a mom. I like be-
ing able to go home and spend
time with my kids.”
