Grant Hewlett brings 15 years of cross-disciplinary experience to Litera's mission of driving both efficiency and growth for law firms

CHICAGO and AUSTIN, Texas – Apr. 28, 2026 – Litera, the legal AI platform provider that best unifies the practice and business of law, has appointed Grant Hewlett as VP, Product for Firm Intelligence. He will lead strategic direction and execution of Litera's firm intelligence products, advancing its end-to-end, AI-driven business of law platform. Hewlett brings more than 15 years of experience spanning Big4 consulting, BigLaw operations, and Alternative Legal Service Provider (ALSP) leadership, giving him a complete view of how legal organizations function. 

"Grant's recent work advising AmLaw 100 and 200 firms gives him a firsthand understanding of what firms are navigating right now," said Adam Ryan, Chief Product Officer at Litera. "His perspective will be invaluable as we build the next generation of firm intelligence with AI that drives both efficiency and growth on a single platform, embedded in the tools lawyers already use." 

Most recently, he was a founding partner of Gradient Legal Consulting, advising AmLaw 100–200 firms and corporate legal departments on revenue lifecycle optimization, operating model design, and AI integration into legal service delivery. Prior roles span Norton Rose Fulbright, Deloitte Consulting, and Vinson & Elkins, including building the legal business consulting practice at Gravity Stack / Reed Smith. 

At Litera, he will focus on enhancing AI offerings, driving product innovation, and developing solutions to deliver measurable value, helping firms accelerate growth and raise the bar on client service. 

“The opportunity to help modernize the business of law through Litera's technology and market presence is special,” said Grant Hewlett. “Firm intelligence is at an inflection point — it's where data, decisions, and partner economics meet — and there are few platforms with the reach and credibility to define what comes next. I'm honored to help shape the next chapter of firm intelligence on a platform firms use every day."
