January 21, 2026 — International law firm McDermott Will & Schulte has been shortlisted in three categories as part of the Legalweek Leaders in Tech Law Awards, highlighting the firm’s continued commitment to innovative, technology-driven initiatives that enhance client service and legal delivery.

• Innovations in Knowledge Management: The Arbitrators & Mediators Data Hub is a centralized, searchable repository that consolidates key information on more than 400 arbitrators and mediators referred by or to McDermott lawyers. Built through a multi-stage, technology-assisted KM workflow, it streamlines research and decision-making by providing comprehensive individual profiles, including roles, affiliations, public links, and referring lawyer contacts.
• Litigation Technology and Innovation: The Federal District Court Case Hub is a lawyer-designed dashboard offering a unified view of nearly 1,800 federal district court cases handled by McDermott litigators since 2016, spanning 24 data fields and integrated Lex Machina analytics. Developed in close collaboration with litigators, the Hub addresses common research needs by enabling instant access to critical litigation intelligence and supporting faster, more informed strategy decisions.
• Best Use of Emerging Technology (Non-AI): McDermott implemented Omni, an emerging business intelligence platform, to modernize how the firm accesses, visualizes, and governs enterprise-wide data through flexible, visually engaging dashboards. As one of the first major law firms to adopt Omni, McDermott set a new standard for using cutting-edge platforms to unify data, accelerate decision-making, and deliver real-time, actionable insights.
