LINCOLN, Neb.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hilgers PLLC partners Rose Hunter Jones and Meredith Perlman have been selected to the 2026 Lawdragon Leading 100 AI & Tech Advisors legal guide, which spotlights trendsetters at the cusp of revolutionary technology.

This is the second year that Ms. Jones, who is based in Atlanta, and Ms. Perlman, who is based in St. Louis, have been honored by Lawdragon, which launched its AI & Tech Advisors list in 2024.

“Artificial intelligence and advanced analytics are reshaping the legal industry,” said Hilgers PLLC CEO Heather Hilgers. “Rose and Meredith are at the forefront of helping clients use these tools effectively while navigating complex litigation.”

Ms. Jones, who was practice group leader for e-discovery at King & Spalding before joining Hilgers, was recognized for litigation technology and e-discovery excellence. She has been ranked by Chambers Global as one of the industry’s top e-discovery litigation practitioners, handling crisis management, electronic data and technology matters involved with data privacy, and security and governmental investigations.

Earlier this year, she was selected to serve on a drafting team within The Sedona Conference’s Working Group 13, which focuses on issues surrounding artificial intelligence and the law.

Ms. Perlman, who was promoted to partner earlier this year, was recognized for her work in electronic discovery and complex discovery strategy across high-stakes litigation and regulatory investigations. A leader in Hilgers’ Discovery Service Group, she brings deep technical expertise and a focus on efficiency to matters involving large volumes of electronic data.

She has represented clients across a range of industries, including financial services, in matters involving regulatory investigations, commercial disputes, antitrust, pharmaceutical and product liability litigation. Certified in four AI and analytics specialties, she advises clients on the use of technology and AI to manage data and fend off potential cybersecurity threats.
