Spearheading Legal Innovation
We are pleased to share a feature on Laura Salvatori, Principal and Chief Legal, Risk and People Officer at Anson Funds. Laura came to Weil as a summer associate and then joined as an associate in our Capital Markets practice. She went on to work at Goldman Sachs and then served as GC at Match Marketing Group, a PE-portfolio company, before joining Anson Funds, where she has served as CLO for more than seven years, and became a partner in 2024. Laura also recently founded CounselAudit.ai, a low cost AI-native legal invoice review platform built for in-house counsel and finance teams.
In this edition of the Weil Alumni Interview Series, Banking & Finance partner Tom Mastoras spoke with Laura about lessons she’s learned from Weil, her innovative approach to supporting legal work and how she incorporates wellness habits to balance her personal and professional life.
