Josh Zylbershlag, Director of e-Discovery Services, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP
Martha Louks, Managing Director, Discovery Technology Services, McDermott Will & Schulte
Dan Degener, AI Discovery Consultant, Akerman LLP
Jaclyn Sattler, Senior Manager, Strategic Initiatives, Relativity (moderator)
Their experience offers practical guidance for anyone supporting pro bono work, and for anyone bringing AI into legal work at all.
