“I’m excited to be back in a role where we can directly apply technology in service of clients,” said Lee. “Technology is a tool; a workflow is the solution. Lucent understands that, and they’re ideally positioned to help clients not just acquire tools, but deploy them effectively and defensibly.”
Lee’s background includes leadership roles at Legal Source and ACT Litigation Services, where he pioneered technology adoption in eDiscovery, and more recently at leading software providers. His expertise spans AI applications from the earliest concept search and clustering technologies to modern generative AI, enabling faster, more accurate document review. “We can now accelerate first-pass review to the point where the old model of throwing hundreds of attorneys at it is becoming obsolete,” Lee noted. “Lucent has the knowledge to guide clients in using these advancements to their full potential.”
He emphasized that Lucent’s boutique structure allows for deep client focus, bespoke workflows, and fractional engagement models that scale to client needs. “Innovation around the customer experience—not just technology—is where the real opportunity lies,” said Lee. “We can meet clients where they are, deliver the expertise they need, and scale up or down based on demand. That flexibility is a game-changer, especially for mid-market corporations and law firms facing increasing data challenges.”
Lee cited long-standing professional relationships with Lucent’s leadership, including co-founders Jud Holt and Patricia Gardner, as a key factor in his decision to join. “At this stage in my career, I want to work with people I trust and respect, and help expand what they’ve built into new markets. The way Lucent organizes itself, its philosophy, and its commitment to client relationships—this is where the most value in our industry can be created.”
