Logan Brown, founder of AI legal firm Soxton, began her legal journey with an internship at a DA’s office at age 12 and has since secured $2.5 million in funding.

Summary

Logan Brown, the 30-year-old founder of the AI-powered legal firm Soxton, demonstrated an early passion for law, securing an internship at her local District Attorney’s office at the remarkable age of 12. This formative experience, fueled by interests sparked by shows like “Legally Blonde” and “Law & Order SVU,” shaped her career path. Brown’s dedication led her to Harvard Law School after graduating valedictorian from Vanderbilt University. While at Harvard, she also launched a pantsuit brand, Spencer Jane, demonstrating her entrepreneurial spirit. After working at Cooley LLP, a Silicon Valley firm, she founded Soxton in June of last year, capitalizing on the growing intersection of AI and the legal industry.

Soxton quickly gained traction, raising $2.5 million in pre-seed funding within six months, led by Moxxie Ventures. The firm now serves over 500 companies, with a waitlist of 2,500 startups. Brown’s early exposure to technology, including coding classes taken before she could drive, further informed her vision for Soxton. She observed the impact of tech on legal proceedings during a trial involving computer forensics in middle school.

Brown attributes her success to trusting her instincts and pursuing her passions, even if it meant occasionally skipping school to attend court hearings. She emphasizes the importance of self-belief, advising others to listen to their intuition when making career decisions. Her journey, from a determined 12-year-old intern to a successful entrepreneur, highlights the power of early ambition and a willingness to bridge the gap between law and technology.
