P E E R T O P E E R M A G A Z I N E · S P R I N G 2 0 2 5 7 For those without the lived experience of parenting or being part of a support system for parents of toddlers, for various reasons, it is worth noting a significant shift that occurs around this stage of development. A once adorable baby who cooed and giggled as they played in one spot transforms, borrowing from an ILTA colleague, into a "stealthy ninja" capable of mass destruction when left unwatched for mere seconds. (Cue internal Morgan Freeman narration of a nature documentary.) The young human is now mobile and capable of carrying out unimaginable feats, silently hacking the best babyproofing home safety systems, gathering supplies, and redecorating their family's home before escaping into the wilds of suburbia. It doesn't take a great deal of imaginative daydreaming to understand the analogy here. In many ways, today's legal tech professionals function as caretakers of a technology transitioning from its infancy to toddler developmental stage. Many ILTAns are the individuals and solution providers tasked with finding and implementing the guardrails and safety measures to protect their firms, corporations, and organizations while also trying to stay one step ahead of the constantly changing legal landscape. Gone are the days of unlocked cabinet doors and breakable decor, now it's time to toddler-proof the proverbial house!
