This recognition honors the transformative work of our AI & Data Analytics Group, led by partner Christopher Kercher and Lead Innovation Counsel Jennifer Reeves. The results speak for themselves: our team became the first documented AI-enabled trial team according to The American Lawyer.

The AI & Data Analytics Group deploys AI across the full litigation lifecycle—from early case assessment and dispute intelligence to rapid document review, strategic planning, and trial preparation. Our approach combines cutting-edge technology with rigorous human verification protocols, ensuring both innovation and professional accountability. We've developed systematic approaches that transform raw case materials into structured knowledge systems, enabling our attorneys to identify patterns, test theories, and execute strategies with unprecedented efficiency. Our work includes AI-enabled discovery management, witness preparation support, and continuous case intelligence that evolves as matters progress.

Beyond individual cases, we've deployed enterprise AI capabilities across 300+ attorneys and established the infrastructure for firm-wide innovation through weekly AI Office Hours, monthly training sessions, and enabling governance policies. The AI & Data Analytics Group now operates as a dedicated practice offering sophisticated AI-enabled legal services to clients facing high-stakes, fast-moving litigation.

Thank you to our clients for their partnership as we continue redefining what's possible in legal service delivery.
