Law Firm Data Governance

Investing in analytics, pricing, or AI, but still battling missing fields and endless rework? In this episode, I talk about why data governance only truly works when it shows up inside everyday workflows and not just policy documents. From protecting critical data upstream, to building supportinto systems people already use.   This episode is all about making data governance practical and visible...

Data quality only matters when people feel it. In this episode, I cover how to design data quality KPIs that actually drive behaviour (not vanity dashboards). I talk about practical KPIs, weekly remediation habits, andkeeping data governance focused on real exceptions. If your data dashboards are busy but don't offer insights, then this episode is for you.

GenAI and RAG don’t fail in law firms because the tech is weak,  they fail because the language is messy. In this episode I break down why clear, shared taxonomies are the backbone of reliable AI. Plus how to design a minimal viable taxonomy that actually works with lawyer workflows, not against them. If your AI pilots feel promising but inconsistent, this episode is for you.

In this episode of the Law Firm Data GovernancePodcast , I unpack why “centralise everything” fails in law firm partnerships — and how federated ‑ yet ‑ governed models create adoption without constant enforcement. Start with decision rights. Govern lightly. Build adoptionby design. If your standards exist...

Most law firms don’t have a data problem. They have a flow problem. In the latest episode of the Law Firm Data Governance Podcast , I introduce the idea of Data Rivers , a way of designing client and matter data so it flows from intake to insight, instead of stagnating in systems and spreadsheets.  If your reporting still starts with wrangling, or every AIpilot exposes data gaps upstream, this epi...
