The Orchestration Layer

In this episode of The Orchestration Layer, Brandon Jessup and Sashi Valavala revisit a conversation with Susan Stone, Director of Legal Discovery at AT&T, and Robert Keeling, eDiscovery counsel and partner at Redgrave LLP, exploring what it takes to move legal AI from capability to confident adoption. 

They discuss how explainability builds trust, why established validation methods still matter, where AI could extend beyond review into legal hold and information governance, and why collaboration among clients, eDiscovery counsel, and trial teams is critical to adoption. 

The takeaway: the technology may be ready, but realizing its full value requires trust, defensibility, thoughtful orchestration, and effective change management.

Most companies sign contracts and then lose track of what's inside them — obligations, renewal dates, pricing terms, risk. This episode covers how to move from contract chaos to contract intelligence by structuring contract terms as data your business can actually query, trust, and act on.
