CEO and Founder Lisa Cain entered the legal field as a paralegal, but, ultimately, wound up on a completely different path. “I was a performing arts major in college with an emphasis on directing, I went to paralegal school later in life. “I had been a single mom and the opportunity arose for me to become a paralegal.” Because she graduated at the top of her paralegal class, she was offered a position at Akin Gump, they asked Cain to step in and help with some logistics on a large telecom trial. In that initial job she managed vendors, catering, rental cars and reviewed vendor’s bills. In a continuing position with Akin Gump she worked as a trade show/event coordinator handling logistics in cities across the nation.

“My burning desire was to figure out a way to continue in that logistics coordinator role, working on behalf of a client, serving them and saving them money,” Cain said, “I saw a lot of duplication in the processes that were in place. There was a lot of redundant billing and too many people trying to do the same job. I thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if there was a single source that could take care of all of the overall coordination?’” Growing up in Northwest Arkansas, Cain remembers the first Wal-Mart ever built right behind her house. “Savings was engrained in me,” she explained.
The driving force in her decision to go into business forherselfwasheryoungson’sstrugglewithasthma.She knew she needed to be close to home. The final straw was an asthma episode that almost cost her son his life. “I went into my house, knocked out two walls of my coat closet, put up shelves, a computer and a lateral filing cabinet,” she said. “I worked night and day on this business; I worked there every day for eight years.”
While she banged on the doors of law firms, looking for the chance to show them what she could do and the value of her services, she took contract work to supplement her income. “I was unstoppable,” she said.
