Bridge Legal Promotes Randi Cruz to Chief Financial Officer

Longtime financial leader elevated to CFO as Bridge Legal continues to scale its technology and operational platform for high volume litigation

CHICAGO, Oct. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bridge Legal today announced the promotion of Randi Cruz to Chief Financial Officer, recognizing her leadership and instrumental role in helping build and scale the company over the past eight years.

Cruz has been a key financial leader throughout Bridge Legal's growth, helping build the financial infrastructure, discipline and reporting capabilities needed to support an increasingly sophisticated business. Her role has expanded alongside the company, and she has become a trusted strategic partner to Bridge Legal's executive leadership team and Board of Directors.

As CFO, Cruz will lead Bridge Legal's finance organization and play a central role in financial strategy, planning, operational performance and the company's continued growth.

"Randi has become an indispensable partner to me and one of the most important leaders at Bridge Legal," said Ed Scanlan, Founder and CEO of Bridge Legal. "She has helped us navigate every stage of our growth with tremendous judgment, integrity and an unwavering commitment to doing what is right for the business. She represents the character of this organization in the way she cares about our team, our clients and ultimately the people who depend on the work we help our clients perform. What excites me most is that I don't believe Randi is anywhere close to reaching her ceiling. As Bridge has grown and the decisions have become more complex, she has continued to step up, and I have enormous confidence in what she will accomplish as CFO."

Cruz's promotion comes as Bridge Legal continues to expand its work helping law firms operationalize complex legal processes at scale. Bridge combines technology, AI and deep operational expertise to improve back office legal workflows, strengthen client experiences and give law firms greater visibility and control across the lifecycle of their cases.

The company's focus is on turning fragmented and complex legal processes into reliable, scalable operations. By doing so, Bridge Legal helps law firms spend more time practicing law while building the infrastructure necessary to serve more clients effectively and consistently.

That work supports Bridge Legal's mission to improve human access to justice by empowering law firms to serve more people and deliver better client experiences at scale.

Cruz joined Bridge Legal during its formative years and has been instrumental in building the financial foundation that supported the company's growth. As Bridge's operations have become more complex, she has continued to take on greater responsibility and become an increasingly important voice in company strategy and decision-making.

"I'm incredibly grateful for the trust Ed, the Board and the entire Bridge team have placed in me," said Cruz. "I've had the opportunity to grow alongside this company and help solve increasingly complex problems as Bridge has evolved. I'm incredibly proud of what we've built, and I'm excited about the opportunity to continue building an organization that helps law firms operate better, serve their clients better and ultimately extend the impact they can have for the people who need them."
