Lineal Bolsters Client Solutions Team with Industry Experts Brian Stempel and Major Baisden
Dallas, TX – March 2, 2022 – Lineal Services, a leading AI-powered legal technology company has expanded its client solutions team with the addition of Brian Stempel as Senior Vice President, Strategic Client Solutions and Major Baisden as Chief Revenue Officer. In this transformational move, Stempel and Baisden will play pivotal roles as Lineal expands its next-generation AI technology and service offerings globally. Stempel, a 27-year industry veteran, has developed a sterling reputation as an executive translator for practice technology strategy and operational excellence across top Am Law firms and their Fortune 1000 clients. Prior to joining Lineal, Stempel oversaw the eDiscovery groups at Debevoise & Plimpton, Kirkland & Ellis, and Paul Hastings. He was responsible for implementing the first client-facing AI solution at Kirkland and led the successful launch of an AI-enabled eDiscovery platform and document review program at Paul Hastings. Stempel was a key team member in the first-of-its-kind acquisition of the Paul Hastings Data Science group by UnitedLex in 2020. Baisden, a serial entrepreneur and technology enthusiast, is a key investor in and chairman of Leverage Lab LLC, a first-party data consultancy that empowers marketers with tech and expertise to personalize every consumer touchpoint. He is also the former co-founder and president of Iris Data Services, an e-discovery firm sold to Epiq in 2015 for $134 million. Baisden will lend his expertise to connecting Lineal’s revenue-related functions, from marketing to sales, customer success, pricing, and revenue operations.
“Fusing Brian’s knowledge of advanced analytics and AI with Lineal’s award-winning NLP-driven Relativity applications is a hole-in-one for our litigation services business,” said Kent Teague, Chairman and CEO of Lineal. “And with Major’s focus on our go-to-market and growth strategy, we are excited about what we can bring to our rapidly growing clients and partners around the globe.”

By harnessing the talent of these experts, Lineal can meet the tremendous demand for AI technology and services to bring legal into the digital age.

I look forward to helping our clients engage with and create groundbreaking artificial intelligence and business intelligence solutions.”
