Solve the Problem You’ve Lived. ILTACON2026 - Elena Tsalanidis

At #ILTACON2026, Tim Kenney caught up with Elena Tsalanidis, Founder and COO of Deeligence, to talk about her journey from private practice into legal tech and what she’s seeing in the M&A diligence market. Elena started her career as a lawyer before moving into legal tech and eventually building Deeligence around a problem she had experienced herself. 💡 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀: → Strong legal tech often starts with a problem you’ve lived yourself. → General-purpose AI is powerful, but specialist workflows still matter, particularly in diligence. → Deeligence has grown from Australia into the UK and US markets. → And for Elena’s first ILTACON, the value of in-person connection stood out immediately. A great example of how legal experience can shape better technology. #PeopleInLegal #ILTACON2026 #WeAreILTA #LegalTech #LegalAI
