CS Disco, Inc. (NASDAQ:LAW) has named Aaron Barfoot as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective January 12, 2026. Barfoot joins the company after a 20‑plus‑year career in finance and corporate development, most recently as CFO of Socure, a leading AI‑powered digital‑identity verification firm. Prior to that, he held senior finance roles at Forter, Anaconda, ClearDATA and Rackspace, where he helped scale high‑growth SaaS businesses.
The appointment comes on the heels of CS Disco’s Q3 2025 earnings, in which the company reported revenue of $40.9 million—up 6.3% versus the $38.46 million consensus—and an earnings per share of –$0.01, beating the –$0.06 estimate by $0.05. The earnings beat was driven by stronger-than‑expected demand for the company’s AI‑driven litigation platform, Cecilia, and by disciplined cost management that kept operating expenses in line with revenue growth.
Barfoot’s background in AI and digital security aligns closely with CS Disco’s core focus on AI‑powered legal technology. CEO Eric Friedrichsen said, “Aaron’s experience scaling AI‑centric SaaS companies and his deep financial expertise make him an ideal partner as we accelerate our growth and deepen our AI capabilities.” Barfoot echoed this sentiment, noting that he is “excited to join a company that is redefining the legal technology landscape and to help drive profitability through disciplined financial stewardship.”
The transition will be smooth: outgoing CFO Michael Lafair will remain in place through January 11, 2026, ensuring continuity in financial reporting and governance. This phased handover signals CS Disco’s commitment to maintaining stability while bringing in new leadership to support its expansion plans.
With Barfoot’s arrival, CS Disco aims to strengthen its financial discipline, optimize capital allocation, and accelerate the path to profitability. The company’s recent earnings beat and growing AI platform adoption suggest that the new CFO will play a key role in translating operational momentum into sustainable financial performance.
The appointment underscores CS Disco’s strategy to leverage AI for legal process automation while maintaining rigorous financial controls, positioning the company for continued growth and eventual profitability.
