Dave Lewis, a data scientist whose four-decade career has established him as a pioneer in artificial intelligence and data analytics in law, has joined the e-discovery and litigation management company Nextpoint as chief scientific officer, where he will lead efforts to develop the next generation of machine learning and generative AI tools throughout the Nextpoint software platform.
Lewis was most recently chief scientific officer at Redgrave Data, a consulting firm that specialized in e-discovery and data science. In September, Redgrave was acquired by the legal software and services provider Elevate, where Lewis became vice president of consulting. In August, a month before the acquisition, Lewis was a guest on my LawNext podcast to discuss gen AI as the new paradigm for technology assisted review in e-discovery.
“I’ve long admired the pioneering vision and engineering accomplishments of the Nextpoint team,” Lewis said. “I’m thrilled to be joining that team at this pivotal moment for legal AI technology, and look forward to us building tools that make the practice of law radically more efficient and effective.”
“While there’s interesting applications in gen AI replacing or augmenting TAR,” he said, “I think its really strengths are on more constructive tasks: generating summaries, answering questions, creating other knowledge artifacts.”
