Henchman

Have you ever compared data with Lego bricks? 🧱 Don't worry if you haven't, Tricia Stephens-Adams (Director of Enterprise Applications & Development at Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP) does the analogy for you. “Imagine having a big bucket of Legos and throwing them on the floor. A brick on its own has no purpose. It's when you put those bricks together that you start to give them context, you start to give them meaning.” Ilona Logvinova (Director of Practice Innovation at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP), David Wang (Chief Innovation Officer at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati), and Tricia are the living examples you’re never too old to play with Legos. In our “Data strategies for legal teams” webinar, our international panel is surfacing its important role in legal organizations, sharing their personal construction kit on how to successfully map out a data-strategy.  Want to start building too? 👷🏽 👉🏼 Dive into our newest blog here: https://lnkd.in/dGYtDene 👉🏼 Rewatch the webinar recording here: https://lnkd.in/dCetYsvB

Ain’t no mountain high enough for Stijn, our brand new AI Engineer at Henchman! 🏔️ Stijn is carrying 7 years of Computer Vision Engineering in his backpack, an experience to be proud of. It also seems his outdoor adventure in the Scottish Highlands (picture) is not stopping him from reaching other heights, considering his weak spot for paragliding, climbing, and catching the highest waves. Since we can’t go back now… Ain't no valley low enough for his deeply grounded roots from Ghent. Stijn is born, raised, and still represented in Belgium's most beautiful medieval city. Ain't no river wide enough to express his enthusiasm for board games and spending time with his friends, family, and awesome (!) colleagues. Welcome to the team, Stijn! There’s nothing crazy enough to keep you from getting to Henchman, babe. 💙

Say hello to Niels, our brand new Senior Backend Engineer! Niels is coding with his eyes closed carrying an experience to be proud of. Niels has been working remotely for the past 2,5 years and is currently facing challenging times when it comes to meal planning considering office days. 😮💨 What’s more convenient to him is watching soccer and American football, identifying himself as thé cheerleader of Standard Liège and Los Angeles Chargers. Also, Niels’s addiction for coconut water didn’t take him for a trip to the Bahamas, but he went to Hong Kong instead where his fiancee introduced him to her culture. Taking a look at the picture, we’re sure she did an impressive job! So… Niels’s next adventure? Henchman, no doubt! Welcome to the team, Niels 💙

I had a blast at Legal Geek in Chicago! Great experience sharing Henchman's vision of being the legal professional's Chief of Staff, rather than 'just' an AI Co-pilot. And Chicago is a loooovely city during Summer! 😎 I'll be back for sure! #legalgeek

Isabella and I are tempted to already grab a beer at the bar behind us, but we’re even more excited to meet other legal tech enthusiasts at Legal Geek North America. Come say hi if you’re here and we can grab a beer together. ;) Cheers!

We're pretty sure that, today, Cedric's glowing as much as he does in this picture. This time not because he successfully mounted a camel, but because he's officially part of Henchman's Product team as Lead Designer. Cedric is not your average colleague. On top of his eye for seamless user experiences, he brings 10 years of front-end development prowess into the mix. Next to his adventures in the technology industry, Cedric can reminisce about his fond memories from a 6-month solo trip throughout South America. He loves playing guitar, going to festivals, was a DJ once, and… would never say no to pickles. 🥒 It’s truly a pleasure having Cedric Geerinckx on board. A true asset to the entire team carrying his optimism and smile to the office every day. Welcome Cedric! 💙
