We had a fun and engaging conversation on the #VirtualLunch today, Tuesday, February 25, 2025, with Shelley Waldron, the Director of E-Discovery and Client Services at Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP. My key takeaways were:
1️⃣ Thinking critically and simplifying complexity are crucial skills for litigation support leaders.
2️⃣ Litigation support success stems from client service.
3️⃣ A good negotiator makes everyone feel like they are leaving the table with value.
4️⃣ Being trusted to lead others is a responsibility.
5️⃣ The conversation about generative AI is reminiscent of those about predictive coding.
6️⃣ There is no available AI that has an EQ that can replicate human judgment.
7️⃣ Generative AI will have a greater impact than technology-assisted review.
8️⃣ Consider ways to pivot to higher-level work in e-discovery to make yourself a trusted advisor on generative AI.
9️⃣ Earn #CEDS and Relativity certifications to increase your proficiency.
