Five Years In: Why Munger Moved Beyond Their Homegrown Lakehouse

How do you build a law firm data platform that actually gets used, and know when it’s time to evolve beyond it? In this episode, Reanna Martinez, Director of Innovation, Systems, and Data at Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP, shares the firm’s multi-year journey building a modern, cloud-based data lakehouse on Azure. From standardizing data at the point of entry to consolidating employee, financial, and matter data into a centralized platform, Reanna explains how Munger transformed fragmented information into a trusted enterprise asset. She walks through why the firm initially chose to build in-house, how governance and security shaped every architectural decision, and what five years of hands-on experience taught her team about scalability, resourcing, and long-term sustainability. Reanna also breaks down the signals that indicated it was time to evolve toward a purpose-built data platform, and what other firms should understand before embarking on a similar path.

She walks through how Morgan Lewis connects internal and external data to create unified profiles for over 15,000 cases.

Sailing Through Uncertainty: Building the Law Firm Lakehouse

What makes a modern data platform actually work inside a law firm? In this episode, Mark Thorogood, Director of Enterprise Data Operations & Software Engineering at Perkins Coie LLP, breaks down how his team moved beyond on-prem constraints to a DIY lakehouse and logical data fabric that unify insights across the firm. Drawing on lessons from the army and time at sea, Mark explains why standards, simplicity, and focusing on “critical data elements” beat boiling the ocean, and how a business glossary (not just a data dictionary) turns data into decisions. Mark also shares the nuts and bolts: Databricks and Microsoft Fabric on Delta/Parquet, Denodo for virtualization, and Power BI on the front end, plus the outcomes that matter (costs cut to one-fifteenth, 12× more finished rows, and cycle times moving from months to sprints). We get into API realities (why you’ll cache), medallion-style layers (including their “copper” tier), portfolio-level budgeting beyond matter records, and what’s next with agentic AI producing defensible, explainable analyses across practice groups. Timestamps: (00:00) Intro (01:34) Mark's career journey (02:48) Lessons from the Army and sailing (05:09) Leadership and team building (06:21) The importance of data (08:27) Building a data platform (12:52) Implementing a lakehouse (16:03) Architecture inspiration and choices (17:47) Business glossary vs. Data dictionary (22:03) Challenges in scaling and API performance (23:24) Utilizing API data for enrichment (26:37) Building and managing a data team (28:52) Client portfolio budgets and AI integration (30:43) Future of data analytics and AI in legal (35:18) Virtualization and semantic layers (36:50) Resistance to change and overcoming it (38:57) Practical tips for data platform transition Connect with our guest: * Mark Thorogood on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/methorogood/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/methorogood/]  * Learn more about Perkins Coie LLP: https://perkinscoie.com/ [https://perkinscoie.com/]  Connect with Tom: * Tom Baldwin on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tombaldwin/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tombaldwin/]  * Learn more about Entegrata: https://www.entegrata.com [https://www.entegrata.com]

Transforming Law Firm: From Data to Intelligence

What good is a dashboard if no one’s using it? In this episode, Jeannine Zito, senior manager of global knowledge solutions at Cleary Gottlieb, talks about how her background in banking shaped the way she thinks about data, strategy, and transformation inside major law firms. She gets into what happens when firms wait too long for the “perfect” data strategy, how information overload slows down adoption, and why the real driver of insight isn’t spreadsheets—it’s storytelling. Jeannine also shares what it was like to move from JP Morgan into legal, what she learned rolling out a new intranet and firm directory in just nine months, and why the firms getting it right today are focused on building data cultures—not just tech stacks. Timestamps: (00:00) Intro (01:09) Janine's career journey: from banking to law (04:39) Challenges and epiphanies in data management (11:11) The importance of data quality and context (14:14) Leveraging data for strategic decisions (23:49) Future of data and AI in legal industry (33:54) Balancing immediate wins with long-term strategy Connect with our guest: * Jeannine Zito on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeannine-zito/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeannine-zito/]  * Learn more about Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP: https://www.clearygottlieb.com/ [https://www.clearygottlieb.com/]  Connect with Tom: * Tom Baldwin on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tombaldwin/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tombaldwin/]  * Learn more about Entegrata: https://www.entegrata.com [https://www.entegrata.com]
