Becoming Iron Man - Moving from Science Fiction to Reality with Legal AI

Senior Legal Operations and Technology leader. I focus on breaking the way legal services are currently delivered in order to rebuild them in a way that properly aligns internal and external stakeholders with the legal and financial objectives of the client. I enjoy consulting on how to right fit talent (re)sourcing strategies built around stacks of technology enabled processes and then wrapped in legal project management controls ensuring that the right work is done by the right talent at the right time with client value being provided at the right cost.

At Hogan Lovells, I am focused on leading cross functional teams of Legal Project Managers ("LPM") who support our Litigation, Arbitration & Employment ("LAE") practices in the Americas. The professionals that make up the LPM team rapidly add value to our legal team's performance simply by being trusted advisors and continuously re envisioning the way business strategies can be bent around the way the legal teams practices law. My LPM team has modernized how legal services are being delivered in our Litigation practice by employing innovative operational models that transform the way we engage commercially for these services. This is not only a win win for us, but it's the differentiator that sets this LPM team apart from other Law Firms and service providers in our space.
