About the Role:

This is a senior-level position for an experienced eDiscovery practitioner who is fluent in modern review technology and ready to take a leading role in how our firm deploys advanced AI tools — including large language model–based review assistants, and next-generation technology-assisted review (TAR) — in service of our cases. The Senior Analyst will serve as a trusted advisor to attorneys, designing defensible AI-enabled workflows, training case teams on their effective use, and exercising independent judgment on complex discovery matters with limited supervision.

 Responsibilities:

• Serve as a senior technical advisor and primary point of contact for case teams across our Los Angeles, New York, and Washington, DC offices, providing expert litigation technology support, strategic guidance, and hands-on troubleshooting on complex, high-stakes matters.
• Lead case teams’ litigation technology and eDiscovery efforts across all phases of the EDRM — collection, processing, review, analytics, production, and post-production — with a high degree of independence and ownership. Assist case teams with document productions, including production setup, execution, validation, and delivery, and perform or coordinate production?level quality control (QC) to ensure accuracy, defensibility, and compliance with court rules, protective orders, and client requirements.
• Design, implement, and oversee advanced AI-enabled review workflows, including generative AI and large language model–based review tools, technology-assisted review (TAR/CAL), predictive coding, conceptual clustering, communication analysis, language identification, sentiment and entity analysis, and automated redactions, to drive efficiency, reduce cost, and improve review and production outcomes.
• Partner directly with attorneys on the responsible use of AI tools, advising on tool selection, prompt design, validation methodology, sampling and quality control, and the defensibility of AI-assisted workflows; training partners, associates, and review teams on how to use these tools effectively in active matters; and producing internal guidance, playbooks, and best-practice materials.
• Lead document productions end to end, including production setup, execution, validation, and delivery, and own production-level quality control to ensure accuracy, defensibility, and compliance with court rules, ESI protocols, protective orders, and client requirements.
• Architect and administer eDiscovery and trial technology platforms (including Relativity, Relativity aiR, Everchron, and comparable tools), and make authoritative recommendations to case teams on workflow design, analytics and AI strategy, and best practices.
• Manage outside eDiscovery and litigation support vendors at a senior level, including scoping complex projects, negotiating contracts and statements of work, evaluating competing proposals, reviewing invoices, and holding vendors accountable to performance and budget expectations.
• Act as the primary liaison between outside vendors and internal case teams, ensuring clear communication, timely delivery, budget awareness, and alignment with case strategy and technical requirements.
• Counsel attorneys and case teams on production-related decision-making, including format selection, metadata handling, redactions (including AI-assisted redaction QC), privilege considerations, and rolling production strategies.
• Maintain clear and defensible matter?level technical documentation, including collection logs, processing and exception logs, analytics decisions, production specifications, QC checklists, and document production logs.
• Support workload management and resource allocation across the eDiscovery / Litigation Support Technology team, helping to balance competing deadlines and prioritize critical case needs.
• Serve as an internal champion for analytics, automation, and responsible AI use — evaluating new tools, piloting emerging capabilities, and educating attorneys and case teams while ensuring appropriate human oversight, validation, and defensibility.
• Stay at the forefront of emerging trends, tools, case law, and best practices in eDiscovery, AI, and litigation support, and proactively identify and drive opportunities for improvement across the firm.

• Confidentiality: You must be able to adhere to Firm policies regarding the protection of confidential data and demonstrate sensitivity to (and good judgment in connection with) confidential attorney, personnel, and Firm matters.
• Flexibility: You are flexible to be available after hours to assist with eDiscovery and case- management issues and questions. You are comfortable in an environment where your responsibilities may vary from day to day.
