Our Litigators of the Week are Daniel Laytin, Christa Cottrell and Cameron Ginder of Kirkland & Ellis, who represent Westlaw owner Thomson Reuters. Some of their colleagues represented the company when it sued ROSS Intelligence four years ago, claiming the startup scraped Westlaw's copyrighted material to develop its own AI-backed product. Laytin, Cottrell and Ginder, however, signed onto the case after ROSS filed antitrust counterclaims against Thomson Reuters.
