In today’s legal landscape, corporate defendants face heightened anti-corporate sentiment, fueled by public discourse on economic disparity, healthcare, and corporate accountability. The killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson brought these frustrations to the forefront, revealing deep-seated distrust toward corporations.
Jury selection and trial strategies must account for these anti-corporate biases. By leveraging voir dire to uncover juror attitudes, humanizing corporate defendants, and focusing on case-specific facts, legal teams can better navigate this challenging climate.
Discover key insights from IMS jury consultants Jorge Monroy and Keith C. Pounds, PhD on how corporate defendants can adapt trial strategies to address rising public skepticism.

Legal learning and development teams are facing big decisions in 2025. Our latest survey shows that while AI is making waves, most law firms are still figuring out how to use it in training. Some are testing tools like ChatGPT, but many are waiting for approval before they dive in.
One of the biggest challenges? Time.
Law firm professionals are busy, and training often takes a back seat. Many firms have great learning resources for lawyers but struggle to offer the same for other roles. And while there’s plenty of talk about shifting to skills-based learning, most firms still stick with traditional job titles focus.

Document security as a competitive advantage in the legal sector
Security as a differential value
In the legal environment, the protection of confidential data is no longer optional. Firms that do not guarantee information security run the risk of facing not only legal sanctions, but also the deterioration of their reputation and loss of clients. Data breaches have become a global concern, prompting many law firms to reinforce their privacy policies.
However, this also represents an opportunity: those firms that offer solid document security guarantees can differentiate themselves in the market, gaining the trust of current and future clients.
Pain points in document security
- Constant risk of security breaches:
Law firms handle highly confidential data, and any information leak can have catastrophic consequences. - Impact on client trust:
The perception that a firm does not adequately protect its clients’ data can irreversibly damage the business relationship. - Exposure to legal sanctions:
Regulations such as CCPA, HIPAA and other local regulations require rigorous security measures. Failure to comply can lead to costly penalties.
