In a follow-up interview published October 15, Jones said she plans to carry out the firm's strategic plan, which could include expansion. She also named artificial intelligence and keeping the firm a good place to work as priorities. She gave few specifics on the AI approach, and the scope of any expansion has not been detailed publicly. Coverage so far consists of Law360 and the firm's own announcement.
The extension gives the firm continuity as it pursues growth and makes decisions about AI adoption. Attorneys should watch for concrete moves: new office or practice announcements, formal AI policies, and any staffing changes tied to operational modernization. Earlier efforts under a prior managing partner included staff reductions for that purpose, so the operational side of the plan is worth tracking alongside the growth agenda.
