Hayley Harris is set to join Pinsent Masons as the international law firm’s global chief knowledge and AI adoption officer, effective 1 June. Harris was previously at BCLP and worked under respected global chief knowledge officer Judy Mackenzie Stuart, who has now retired.
Harris will be the custodian of Pinsents’ tool selection and strategy, with global chief operating officer Matt Peers telling Legal IT Insider: “Every week someone promises the world through a new module and Hayley will be custodian of the tools and how they work and fit together.” Director of transformation Neil Green will continue to be responsible for the day-to-day deployment of tools, with those two roles complementing one another.
Commenting on her new role on LinkedIn, Harris said today (8 May): “I cannot wait to get started at this amazing firm. Exciting times ahead!”
Pinsent Masons has centred its GenAI strategy around Microsoft Copilot and Legora, with a heavy focus on helping its staff to become familiar with new technology and ways of working.
