CEO and Founder at Merlin Search Technologies
Colorado, United States
Every day, legal teams face the same challenge: millions of documents, tight deadlines, and the pressure to find the facts that matter. Traditional discovery tools give you search hits. What senior lawyers actually need are answers. I spent 20 years as a trial lawyer โ AV-rated, partner at a national law firm, trying complex cases across the country. In 2000, I founded Catalyst Repository Systems, one of the first cloud-based ediscovery platforms. We scaled it internationally and sold it to a major public buyer. Our platform, Alchemy, uses generative AI to let legal teams ask questions across hundreds of thousands of documents and get comprehensive, sourced answers in seconds. We've also tackled the review problem head-on. Our ReviewPartner service replaces traditional human review teams with AI reviewers that deliver consistent, accurate, and defensible results at a fraction of the cost and time. Along the way, I've written eight books on legal technology, spoken at conferences worldwide, and chaired the ABA Law Practice Section. If you're a senior lawyer, investigator, or legal team leader dealing with large-scale document challenges, I'd welcome a conversation.
