Ropes & Gray has been named a finalist in three categories as part of the 2026 Legalweek Leaders in Tech Law Awards. The annual awards honors individuals and organizations who have been at the forefront of legal innovation over the past year.

Ropes & Gray was named a finalist in the following categories:

  • “E-Discovery Technology and Innovation” for the Advanced E-Discovery and AI Strategy practice group’s Generative AI Tool Risk Assessment Framework that embeds risk controls into E-Discovery risk management workflows to enable defensible, efficient Gen AI deployment, with a holistic, cross‑functional approach—flexible across industries and tool types and aligned with legal, privacy, and security standards.
  • “Innovations in Dealmaking” for developing a hybrid human and AI process to support a client’s asset management process by efficiently extracting key data points from across the client’s portfolio of investments for use in, and integration with, the clients existing asset management platform tools.
  • “Regulatory, Governance and Compliance Technology” for R&G Insights Lab. R&G Insights Lab embeds AI, data analytics, and behavioral science into legal advice, delivering actionable insights and real-time reporting. This is not simply “best use” of a tool, it is a new operating model that aligns legal, compliance, and business functions around shared, measurable goals, leveraging a range of technologies.

Winners will be announced at the Legalweek Leaders in Tech Law Awards and Dinner, taking place on Monday, March 9, at The Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers, during the Legalweek 2026 conference in New York.
