NEW YORK, February 5, 2026 – TransPerfect Legal, the global leader in legal technology, AI, and advisory services, today announced that Michael Kriegal, Vice President of Consulting Services, has been named a finalist for the Excellence in eDiscovery award, part of Cellebrite's 2026 JUSTYS (Digital Justice Awards).

The Excellence in eDiscovery award recognizes professionals who demonstrate exceptional expertise in managing complex, large-scale datasets while advancing eDiscovery technology and industry best practices. Kriegal was selected from global submissions by more than three dozen Cellebrite subject matter experts.

Under Kriegal’s leadership, TransPerfect Legal’s consulting team has grown from a single consultant to more than 20 specialists supporting high-volume and technically demanding eDiscovery matters.

Beyond current eDiscovery challenges, Kriegal is also leading TransPerfect Legal's development of AI-powered document review and analysis tools. TransPerfect President and Co-CEO Phil Shawe remarked, “Michael’s leadership exemplifies our focus on helping our clients navigate demanding eDiscovery requirements. The recognition from Cellebrite underscores the impact of his leadership and our continued investment in advancing legal technology.”
