Rachel Reid is a Partner and Head of Artificial Intelligence for the US at Eversheds Sutherland. She is based in the Atlanta area. She started her career in law at the firm, then spent 18 years in a series of in-house roles before returning to the firm as a partner in May 2023. She is a Board Director of “Hop on a Cure” a nonprofit dedicated to finding a cure for ALS.
Our conversation traces her career path, which saw her leave Eversheds Sutherland for an inhouse role mid-way through her career and then return recently to make partner. We discuss the differences across both of these roles and what motivated her to return, and how the changing face of the legal profession is accommodating these kind of pivots.
Diving into the substance of her practice area then we discuss the evolution of AI as a specialty, and the topics and concerns that are top of mind across privacy and AI legal topics. Finally we examine the issue of diversity in the legal profession and what initiatives make a difference to allow balancing of responsibilities and progress through the ranks.
