Legal Turns Its Attention Back to the Future of GenAI

Stephanie Wilkins is the Director of Content at Legaltech Hub, where she helps lead the company in building out its editorial content and thought leadership strategy. Previously, she was the Editor-in-Chief of Legal Technology and Legaltech News at ALM, where she served as a guide for the entire ALM newsroom in tackling the intersection of law, technology, and AI. Less than a year into her role, she was named to the Fastcase 50 class for 2023, an award given to “the law’s smartest, most courageous innovators, techies, visionaries, lawyers, and leaders,” in part for LTN’s work in “the complex realm of artificial intelligence,” noting: “Early in her role as Editor, and before most had even used the technology, Stephanie identified generative AI as an important new frontier in legal technology. She created a special coverage team and created some of the earliest and best reporting on legal AI.” In 2024, Stephanie was the inaugural winner in the Journalism category of the American Legal Technology Awards.

 

Prior to joining ALM, Stephanie spent the better part of the past decade following the evolution of legal tech. She is also keenly interested in shining a light on the ways legal tech is being used to help the greater good. For nearly a decade, she regularly wrote about legal technology for Above the Law and created content and thought leadership for a wide range of legal tech companies. Before that, Stephanie was a successful litigator in the New York offices of Clyde & Co and Dewey & LeBoeuf (formerly LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae). Her time in Biglaw—for better or for worse—gave her a deep understanding of how legal tech can and should be used in real-life practice and the valuable differences it can make. Stephanie earned her J.D. from NYU School of Law and her B.A. from the University of Notre Dame, where she majored in Psychology, Sociology and Russian.
