Grant HewlettStephen EmbryBob AmbrogiGrant Hewlett is Vice President of Product for Firm Intelligence at Litera, where he focuses on how data, analytics, and emerging technology change the way law firms run as businesses. A legal strategy and operations executive, he has spent his career helping leading global law firms, premier regional boutiques, and major corporate legal teams improve financial performance, strengthen realization and billing, streamline intake and conflicts operations, and build operating models that enhance profitability, scalability, and long-term organizational health. His approach is grounded in commercial discipline and practical execution: aligning strategy with delivery so that technology investments, including AI, translate into durable performance improvements rather than isolated pilots.
Stephen Embry is a lawyer, speaker, blogger, and writer focused on the intersection of technology, innovation, and the practice of law. He is the founder and publisher of TechLaw Crossroads, a blog devoted to examining the tension between legal technology, the law, and how lawyers actually work. A former partner at a large law firm for the better part of 30 years, Stephen built his practice as a trial lawyer in mass tort and, later, in data breach, privacy, and cyber insurance matters before turning his focus to commentary, speaking, and advisory work on how artificial intelligence and emerging technology are reshaping the legal industry. He writes frequently on the clash of cultures between tech and innovation on the one hand, and the traditional, precedent-grounded legal profession on the other.
Robert “Bob” Ambrogi is a Massachusetts lawyer and legal journalist who has been writing and speaking about legal technology, legal practice, and legal ethics for more than two decades. He authors the award-winning blog LawSites (since 2002), writes a longtime column for Above the Law, and hosts LawNext, a leading podcast featuring the innovators driving what’s next in law. He also hosts Legaltech Week, a weekly legal tech journalists’ roundtable. In addition to his journalism, Bob represents news organizations and serves as executive director of the Massachusetts Newspaper Publishers Association, which advocates for the First Amendment and freedom of the press.
