Building the Foundations for AI: Data, Governance & the Modern Law Firm

Watch the Video to learn about

Is your law firm really ready for AI, or are you building the roof before the foundations? In this episode of the Katchr Podcast, Graham is joined by Raj Boora, Global Head of Data at Pinsent Masons, to explore why data governance, ownership and accountability are becoming critical as firms accelerate their adoption of AI.

Raj discusses why successful AI adoption starts with strong data foundations, and why data governance is ultimately a people and business challenge, not simply a technology problem. She explores executive sponsorship, breaking down data silos, master data management and why firms should start small rather than attempting to perfect everything at once.

She also looks ahead to a more agentic future for legal data, questioning whether firms really need to bring everything into a single lakehouse and arguing that data and AI strategies can no longer be developed separately.

For law firm leaders, finance teams and data professionals, this episode offers a practical look at how to build the foundations for AI without turning data transformation into a programme so big that it never gets started.
