-- San Diego, CA – May 2025 – Swiftwater & Company, a leading advisory firm focused on legal department transformation, is proud to announce that Jeffrey Solomon has joined the team to deepen its capabilities in legal spend management, operational strategy, and AI-enabled legal function design.
Jeff brings over 20 years of experience helping legal departments manage outside counsel and legal spend more strategically. At Wolters Kluwer, he most recently led their AI-powered expert service LegalView BillAnalyzer, overseeing one of the industry’s largest legal spend operations. Prior to that, he held leadership positions across consulting, analytics, and product management, and with Elevate Services, focused on technology strategy and service delivery.
“GCs are under pressure to do more with less. Jeff adds tremendous strength to our team—he’s spent his career helping legal departments take control of spend, performance, and outcomes. With his experience at the intersection of legal services and AI-enabled operations, he’s exactly the kind of advisor our clients want in the room,” said Hassan El Asraoui, CEO of Swiftwater & Company.
Now stepping into the advisory seat, Jeff brings that same expertise directly to clients—helping them not just deploy tools, but lead meaningful, measurable transformation across legal, risk, and compliance functions.
“After years delivering solutions to clients, I am excited to now be driving broader transformation right alongside them,” said Jeff Solomon. “What makes Swiftwater different is the ability to turn complex spend challenges—including how and where to apply AI—into clear, actionable strategies.”
In his new role, Jeff will work with clients to implement spend governance models, strengthen outside counsel performance management, and embed financial accountability into legal’s operating rhythm—all while advising on the practical use of AI to support smarter legal operations.
“I’ve known Jeff for years. He adds real depth to our team—especially in the area GCs care about most: spend management. His experience directly strengthens how we help legal departments lead with confidence and control,” said Danish Butt, Managing Director at Swiftwater.
Jeff’s hire follows Swiftwater’s recent strategic partnership with Legal Decoder, reinforcing the firm’s commitment to transforming legal spend from a reactive reporting function into a proactive lever for performance, savings, and value creation.
