July 28, 2026Of counsel Matthew Hamilton co-authored a guide for Legal Data Intelligence examining how organizations can operationalize Early Data Strategy (EDS) to better leverage legal data in the age of generative AI (GenAI).
The authors explore how legal departments and law firms can evolve from early case assessment and early data assessment to a more strategic, data-driven approach that improves decision-making and dispute management. They also discuss the importance of information governance, AI vendor contracting, data mapping, and governance frameworks to help organizations responsibly deploy GenAI while managing legal, privacy, and regulatory risks.
