AI knowledge search engine DeepJudge today (12 December) announced that it has hired Tony Ensinger as its new senior vice president of sales and product strategy. Ensinger has been with legal research platform Casetext for just under two and a half years and before that he spent just under six years at AI contract review provider Kira Systems, latterly as global director of sales. Casetext was acquired by Thomson Reuters in August this year and Kira Systems was acquired by Litera in 2021.
“Recently, we have seen massive progress in terms of what AI can do, especially when it comes to understanding and processing text”, said Paulina Grnarova, CEO and co-founder of DeepJudge.
“Many law firms are developing a GenAI strategy, and it’s clear that the ‘holy grail’ is in the ability to connect the powers of these models to the entire historical data and know-how of the firm. DeepJudge has figured out how to do this. Specifically, generative models by themselves can only consider a small amount of data at a time. By connecting them to a high-performance semantic enterprise search, one can extend their powers to much more data, all while respecting ethical walls and other access rights.”
Ensinger’s hire follows the high profile hire in July of Kennan Samman from Kira as chief revenue officer. Litera brought proceedings the same month against DeepJudge alleging breach of a no-compete agreement. Samman has left DeepJudge and for a new role at Belt Software.
