Global law firm modernizing legal delivery with AI and data infrastructure
McDermott Will & Schulte operates across 20+ offices with 1,750+ lawyers serving Fortune 500 and institutional clients. The firm is mid-stage in a digital transformation: adopting Salesforce (low adoption remains a pain point), building AI-powered solutions for M&A/PE practice, and implementing firm-wide knowledge management and Power BI infrastructure. The hiring mix—85 legal roles, but also 28 sales, 26 marketing, 14 engineering, and 9 data hires—signals a shift from traditional legal servicing toward business-process optimization and internal analytics.
