  • AI in the Legal Profession: From Hype to Practical Application

    AI in the Legal Profession: From Hype to Practical Application
    2026/09/22
    How lawyers are using generative AI and machine learning in practice — and why human judgement, critical thinking, and defensibility still matter.

    AI is rapidly changing the legal profession, but what does that change actually look like in practice?

    In this episode of The Salient Edge, David Fisk speaks with Francis Makkink, a lawyer and Lead of the Advanced Technology Team at Deneys in South Africa, about the practical application of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and generative AI in legal work.

    Francis shares his experience of moving from relatively simple automation in Excel to developing technology solutions, and explains why machine learning remains an important, and often overlooked, area of AI in legal workflows. The conversation explores how machine learning can support eDiscovery and document review by identifying patterns and helping legal teams focus on the most relevant information within large datasets.

    David and Francis also discuss the growing use of generative AI in law firms, including the importance of security, confidentiality, and appropriate technology governance when working with sensitive legal data. They consider how AI can improve efficiency and the quality of legal work, while also examining the continuing importance of human judgement, accountability, critical thinking, and professional expertise.

    The conversation moves into some of the wider implications of AI for the legal profession, including the future of the billable hour, value-based pricing, the changing expectations of clients and how junior lawyers are developing their foundational skills in an increasingly AI-enabled environment.

    For legal professionals, investigators, eDiscovery specialists, and anyone working at the intersection of law, technology and data, this episode offers a practical perspective on where AI is delivering value - and where human expertise remains essential.

    Topics discussed include:
    - Generative AI and its practical application in legal work
    - Machine learning and pattern recognition in eDiscovery
    - AI-assisted document review and data reduction
    - Legal technology and workflow automation
    - AI security, confidentiality and data protection
    - Human-in-the-loop approaches to AI
    - Critical thinking and professional judgement
    - The future of legal training and junior lawyers
    - Billable hours and value-based pricing
    - The changing role of lawyers in an AI-enabled profession

  • Inside Digital Forensics: Tracing Digital Footprints, Fraud & Data Exfiltration

    Inside Digital Forensics: Tracing Digital Footprints, Fraud & Data Exfiltration
    2026/06/25
    How modern forensic investigations uncover hidden evidence across devices, emails, documents, and cloud platforms.

    In this episode of The Salient Edge, host David Fisk is joined by Frikkie Viljoen to explore the fast-evolving world of digital forensics, cyber investigations and eDiscovery.
    From business email compromise and document falsification to USB data exfiltration, GPS tracking and forensic evidence recovery, this episode unpacks how digital footprints left behind by modern technology can support complex investigations and litigation matters.
    Drawing on more than 16 years of technical and forensic experience, Frikkie explains how investigators preserve and extract evidence from laptops, mobile phones, cloud platforms and removable storage devices - while maintaining defensible forensic processes and chain of custody.
    The conversation explores the growing sophistication of cyber fraud, including compromised business email accounts, fake banking detail changes, falsified employment documents and manipulated PDFs. The episode also highlights how forensic investigators recover deleted files, trace USB activity, analyse metadata, reconstruct print jobs and identify location data through Wi-Fi and GPS records.

    Listeners will gain practical insight into:
    - Digital forensics and forensic evidence collection
    - Business email compromise investigations
    - Cyber fraud and document falsification detection
    - USB data theft and insider risk investigations
    - Metadata analysis and forensic artefacts
    - GPS and Wi-Fi location tracking in investigations
    - Cloud, mobile, and laptop forensic challenges
    - Defensible collections and chain of custody
    - The role of forensic technology in legal and corporate investigations

    Whether you work in legal, corporate investigations, cybersecurity, forensic accounting or compliance, this episode provides a practical look at how digital forensic specialists uncover evidence hidden across modern technology ecosystems. Visit our website

  • DSARs in Practice: Managing Complex Requests with Technology and Oversight

    DSARs in Practice: Managing Complex Requests with Technology and Oversight
    2026/04/13
    A practical look at handling high-risk DSARs using modern eDiscovery tools and structured review workflows.

    Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) are becoming more complex, more frequent and in some cases, more strategic.

    In this episode of The Salient Edge, David Fisk is joined by Andrew Punter from Reveal to explore how organisations can respond effectively to modern DSAR challenges — particularly where requests are high-risk, multi-faceted, or potentially linked to litigation.

    Building on a previous discussion around DSAR strategy, this conversation focuses on the practical application of technology within the process. From early case assessment and data scoping through to review, redaction and disclosure, the episode examines how platforms like Reveal can support structured, defensible responses.

    The discussion also addresses the growing reality of “weaponised” DSARs—requests that extend beyond privacy rights and into legal or commercial strategy. In these scenarios, coordination between legal, HR and privacy teams becomes critical, as does having the right investigative and eDiscovery capability in place.

    While technology plays an important role, David and Andrew emphasise that DSAR processing still requires careful human oversight—particularly when dealing with nuance, privilege, third-party data and regulatory risk. The episode explores how organisations can strike the right balance between efficiency and control, using tools such as advanced search, analytics, machine learning and visualisation to support decision-making without over-reliance on automation.

    Key topics covered include:
    - Managing complex and high-risk DSARs
    - Understanding and responding to “weaponised” requests
    - The role of eDiscovery platforms in DSAR workflows
    - Structuring review processes and escalation paths
    - Redaction strategies and disclosure considerations
    - The importance of proportionality and defensible decision-making

    This episode is essential listening for corporate investigators, legal teams, compliance professionals, and anyone responsible for managing DSARs in a regulated environment. Visit our website
