Technology and human expertise combination guide Consilio in next chapter of company’s journey
WASHINGTON, D.C., January 29, 2025 – Chief Executive Officer, Andy Macdonald and President, Meredith Kildow of Consilio, the global leader in legal technology solutions and enterprise legal services, discussed the company’s history and future corporate vision in an interview with DAVOS moderator Andrew Wilson at DAVOS 2025.
Macdonald and Kildow explained how the company has been investing in and implementing various emerging technologies like AI and machine learning to process, aggregate and manage data as it grows at an exponential pace, enabling more efficient work while reducing costs.
In the interview, they also elaborated on Consilio’s corporate journey, highlighting the firm’s strategic acquisitions over the last decade plus that allowed the company to scale, all while keeping a people-centric approach in mind. This includes curating client experiences across corporate law departments and law firms that require nuanced approaches depending on the industry vertical.
“There is not one technology that will answer every question or every challenge. This is an industry that was built on point solutions. We feel strongly that there is a real collective and holistic approach that we can take,” Kildow explained in the interview. “And a big part of what we deliver is the powerful combination of the technology with our expertise and service.”
Consilio has been helping clients navigate the challenges caused by fast growing data volumes for legal matters globally by embracing cross-discipline teams and solutions to provide clients with a seamless end-to-end experience. Just in the last six months, Consilio has launched multiple AI innovation products to support the document review and privilege detection processes for clients including Guided AI Review, Native AI Review, and Guided AI PrivDetect, as well as an internal chatbot Lio.
“We’ve thought of ourselves in the past as being a technology and a services company, and what we realize is these two are inseparable at this stage in the game. Our role with our clients is to bridge that gap,” said Macdonald.
