New York City is buzzing—and it’s not just the traffic. The Masters Conference NYC is in full swing at 101 Park Avenue at the offices of Morgan Lewis, drawing top legal minds, tech innovators, and operational strategists from around the country. The conversations are bold, the coffee is strong, and the topics? Let’s just say this isn’t your average CLE lineup. And yes, Kevin M. Clark is very much in the room, bringing big legal energy with Right Discovery as a proud sponsor.
Day 1 kicks off with a powerful session on deepfakes and digital forensics. Jerry Bui of Right Forensics joins John Wilson (HaystackID), Alexandria (Lexi) Lutz (Nordstrom), and Peter Tsai (Seyfarth Shaw) to unmask how synthetic media is already threatening the legal process—and what to do when manipulated evidence shows up in your case file. Then, it’s off to a spirited courtroom-style debate on GenAI in document production featuring Cristin Traylor (Relativity), Hon. Andrew J. Peck (DLA Piper, ret.), and litigators from Christopher Kercher Quinn Emanuel and Sandra Metallo-Barragan Proskauer.
Breakouts include cutting-edge panels like Unlocking Social Media Data with SMI Aware and The Data Revolution with Doug Kaminski (Infinnium) and Stephanie Clerkin (Korein Tillery). And for our networking lunch break, generously sponsored by Kroll—because great ideas require great fuel. The afternoon heats up with Technology + Talent: Why Offshore?, featuring insights from Ishika Aggarwal (IOTA Analytics), Bobby Coppola (PLUSnxt), and Sharri Wilner (Gravity Stack), followed by a deep dive into mobile data challenges from Cellebrite and CloudNine. Day 1 ends on a high note with Legal Tech Jeopardy! hosted by 4-time champ Ryan Hemmel (ProSearch)—because who says eDiscovery can’t be fun?
Day 2 doesn’t skip a beat. The morning opens with a thought-provoking discussion on Hobbes, Rousseau, and storytelling in law and society, led by Adam Wehler (Sustained Wellness) and Jordana Confino (JC Consulting & Coaching). Then it’s time to Demystify GenAI with Esther Birnbaum (HaystackID), Elizabeth Marie Gary (Morgan Lewis), Jim Sullivan (eDiscovery AI), and Anthony Laney (Venio Systems), who break down what legal teams really need to know about implementing generative tools beyond the buzz.
The afternoon features a hands-on Change Management Workshop for legal ops pros, led by Chuck Kellner (Legal Data Intelligence), Laura Kibbe (Unisys), and Adina M Newman (New Legal Ops). Then, Legal Ops 2025 brings together leaders like Jeanine Conley (Littler), Justina Rivera (NYC Comptroller’s Office), and Taa Grays (NY State Bar Association) to explore how legal departments navigate tech, policy, and talent disruption. The closing panel, Beyond the Billable, redefines what outside counsel relationships look like now, with insights from Andrea Webster (Novartis), Brad Schaffel (Sullivan & Cromwell), and Jack Thompson (Freddie Mac).
