Waymaker Wednesday: Women in LegalTech – Meet Lvanika Parti

Lvanika Parti is an experienced lawyer and legal innovation professional working at the intersection of law, technology, and service delivery. She is currently an Innovation Manager at Osborne Clarke, where she focuses on workflow automation, legal process redesign, and the adoption of emerging technologies to enhance client experience and operational efficiency.

Prior to this, Lvanika played a key role in building innovation and alternate legal services at Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas, working closely with legal, technology, and business teams to implement LegalTech solutions at scale. Her journey reflects a strong ability to identify pain points within legal workflows and translate them into practical, tech-enabled solutions.

With a background spanning AI-led legal services, innovation consulting, and legal operations, Lvanika brings a thoughtful, hands-on approach to transforming how legal services are delivered, making them smarter, more efficient, and future-ready.

Here’s a peek into her world:

1. What inspired you to join the Women in LegalTech community?

I joined Women in LegalTech because diversity in our sector still feels too dependent on chance rather than design.  I wanted to be part of a community that doesn’t just talk about diversity, but actively creates space, visibility, and networks for women to lead. For me, it’s about shifting from being “grateful to be included” to confidently influencing what the future of legal technology looks like and helping others do the same.

2. If you could solve one problem in the legal world (or beyond) with technology, what would it be?

I’d tackle unequal access—both to legal services and to legal careers. Technology could do much more to level the playing field: helping individuals and small businesses understand their rights, access affordable support, and navigate complex processes that often exclude those without time, money, or connections. At the same time, tech can be used to open up non-traditional career paths into law and legal tech for people from diverse backgrounds, for example through skills-based training, remote work, and data-driven recruitment.

3. What’s one book, podcast, or resource that’s made a big impact on how you think about work or life?

One resource that’s shaped my thinking is “Invisible Women” by Caroline Criado Perez. It’s a powerful reminder that systems, processes, and even data are rarely neutral, they’re often built around the experiences of a narrow group. I see that reflected in legal workflows and legal tech design all the time. The book has made me more intentional about asking: whose needs are we building this for, and whose are we missing?

4. Outside of work, what’s something you’re passionate about or love spending time on?

I’m passionate about access to education and hoping that one day getting an education is seen differently from acquiring skills which lead to employment.  Outside that, I recharge by spending time outdoors with friends and family.

5. What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received as a woman in your career journey?

“Take up space, and don’t apologise for being in the room.”

It can be easy for women to self-edit: softening language, sitting back in meetings, or waiting to be invited into conversations. This advice helped me realise that my perspective isn’t a “nice to have”; it changes outcomes. Since then, I’ve been more deliberate about speaking up, asking for clarity, and putting myself forward for roles and projects where I can influence how teams work, who gets heard, and how inclusive our solutions really are.

6. If you weren’t working in law/legaltech, what’s another path you could totally see yourself in?

I could see myself working in the food industry. I am a passionate foodie and like I've done in the past, I'd love to go back to serving some amazing dishes.

Lvanika’s journey highlights how legal expertise, when paired with innovation and systems thinking, can drive meaningful change in the legal ecosystem. She continues to shape how modern legal teams adopt technology with purpose and impact.
