CEB Taps Industry Veteran Keith James to Spearhead California Growth
After two and a half decades navigating the legal tech landscape at giants like LexisNexis and Thomson Reuters, Keith James is moving to Oakland. Starting August 3, James steps into the role of head of sales and renewals at CEB, tasked with scaling the provider’s footprint in the California legal market.
CEB has spent the last year and a half aggressively broadening its portfolio. This includes the acquisition of Attorney's BriefCase, which effectively doubled the company’s reach in the state’s family law sector, and the launch of AI-enabled research platforms like CEB Insight. James is expected to leverage his background in digital forensics and compliance to help California firms navigate an increasingly complex, technology-reliant legal environment.
