What are some of your proudest achievements from the past year? Building the LIT (Legal Innovation & Technology) Team at MMC has been a joyful experience. It’s so awe-inspiring to have something that starts out as a seedling of an idea and then germinates into something real and tangible. We are a small but mighty virtual team with a mix of legal and technical skills and backgrounds, which is a microcosm of where we see the legal industry overall heading.

Another highlight has been building MMC’s first Legal Innovation Lab (aka, the LIT Lab), fueling a culture of transformation and harnessing the power of technology for the 500-plus professionals in the Legal, Compliance & Public Affairs department. The LIT Lab has already made great strides, piloting and championing tools and smart workflows in the areas of analytics, ECA, document review, crowdsourcing, contract analysis, contract execution and document assembly. Our colleagues have been so excited about what we are bringing to the table, which makes the work that much more meaningful and gratifying. It has been a lot of fun and we are just getting warmed up.
