Wilson Elser LLP
Milwaukee, WI

At Wilson Elser, a renowned full-service defense litigation law firm, I play a crucial role in leveraging our collective expertise across more than 1,000 attorneys in 42 U.S. offices and one in London, ensuring the delivery of unparalleled legal services. In my current position, my contributions include:

  • Applying Advanced Legal Technology and AI: I actively utilize cutting-edge AI tools, such as Lexis AI, Relativity, and GPT-enabled tools, to enhance our legal research, document review, and deposition analysis capabilities. My role involves training machine learning models via the GPT API for summarizing deposition transcripts, which significantly streamlines trial preparation and improves case outcomes.
  • Supporting Complex Litigation and Document Management: In my support of complex commercial litigation and arbitration cases for high-profile clients like Amazon and Uber across 21 offices, my responsibilities extend to drafting and responding to discovery demands, organizing document productions, and trial preparations. I efficiently manage case files using advanced document management systems and e-discovery platforms, with a focus on Relativity, to ensure effective trial preparations.
  • Conducting Research and Analysis: I excel in performing investigative research on opposing parties and expert witnesses, leveraging both court-related databases and online sources. My expertise in reviewing, analyzing, and summarizing vast information aids in preparing exhibits, chronologies, and key documents essential for legal proceedings.
  • Preparing for Expert Witness and Court Appearances: My efforts are key in preparing materials for expert witness reviews and court appearances, including drafting stipulations, orders, and pre-trial filings. I also prepare materials for mediations, aiming to present thorough and persuasive arguments.
  • Enhancing Professional Skills and Tool Proficiency: I continually improve my strong computer skills, particularly in the MS Office Suite and document management systems, aligning with the latest technological advancements and methodologies in the legal field.
