“I’ve had the privilege of working with Eldon Richards for the past three years, and saying he has been the best leader I’ve worked for in my career does not feel like an overstatement — it feels like a simple fact. As our CTO, Eldon brought a level of vision, authenticity, and leadership investment that changed not only the trajectory of Solifi’s technology organization, but the trajectory of many careers, mine included. What sets Eldon apart is how deeply he commits himself to growing leaders and transforming cultures. He doesn’t just set a strategy and expect others to follow; he builds belief, capability, and confidence in the people around him. Eldon is the kind of leader whose team would follow him anywhere — not because of hierarchy, but because of trust, inspiration, and the example he sets every day. Under his leadership, Solifi achieved something extraordinary: a true transformation from a monolithic, on-premises platform to a modern, microservices-based, evergreen SaaS solution. The scale of this shift is hard to articulate, but Eldon navigated it with clarity, steadiness, and a relentless focus on doing what was right for our customers and for the long-term health of our business. I am especially grateful for the environment he created that allowed me to excel in my role as Vice President of Quality Engineering. Eldon’s support and technical vision enabled my team and me to improve product quality across the portfolio by orders of magnitude while simultaneously reducing release overhead and accelerating delivery. He empowered us to think differently, to break old patterns, and to build a quality culture that now serves as a foundation for Solifi’s future. Another hallmark of Eldon’s leadership is his ability to build high-trust, high-performance global partnerships. Our onshore/offshore collaboration has never been stronger or more aligned, and that is a direct reflection of Eldon’s belief that distributed teams, when supported and unified by strong leadership, can achieve remarkable results. Eldon is an inspiring, visionary leader in every sense — someone who elevates people, transforms organizations, and leaves everything he touches better than he found it. I’m grateful for the growth he enabled in me personally and for the lasting impact he’s had on Solifi. Any company or team that has the opportunity to work with him will be better for it.”

The idea for this short Epiq piece came from my colleagues Tiana Van Dyk and Allison Dunham. Tiana coined the term "TAR Sandwich" which we now use internally to refer to discovery projects that combine GenAI tools with classic TAR. Allison and her team were among the first to try it out in practice. People are still asking about TAR vs AI Review. As we transition to these new tools and capabilities, it will be natural to see hybrid workflows like this that combine the strengths of each. https://lnkd.in/gpYT-fiU

Patent translation is changing. It’s no longer just about speed or cost. It’s about consistency, governance, and protecting meaning across jurisdictions. In this article, Nejla Katica explores how translation memory, terminology management, and AI work together as a modern IP toolkit and why integration matters more than any single tool.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦. Jennifer Williams from Vinson & Elkins shared this perspective during #EDiscoveryDay, reminding us that #AI doesn’t replace foundational discovery skills, it builds on them.

Even as capabilities advance and models become increasingly capable of long-horizon execution, the debate in legal should center on reliability and usefulness. Autonomy isn’t a badge; it’s a dial set to the problem hyperspace and the reliability thresholds you’re building against. I explore this in the Bloomberg Law piece below.

From deposition summaries to medical chronologies, GenAI is helping legal teams turn insights into exhibits—faster and smarter.
