California Here We Come..! NIBS + FFO – Artificial Lawyer

Artificial Lawyer is heading to San Francisco to chair Legal Innovators California on Wed and Thurs and the rest of the week will be on holiday. So, given that AL won’t be publishing much until June 16th, here are some News in Brief + your FFO to keep you entertained.

AL NIBS

Legl has announced a new integration with Clio, which enables UK law firms to streamline client onboarding and manage AML compliance directly within Clio’s leading practice management platform.

With this integration, law firms can launch onboarding workflows from Clio, automate compliance checks, and keep client information up to date across both platforms. ///

Doctrine, the French research AI platform, is launching in Germany through a strategic equity investment in dejure.org. ///

The German Law Society (Deutscher Anwaltverein e.V., DAV) and legal automation company, BRYTER, have announced a partnership, giving 60,000 local lawyers access to the AI productivity suite BEAMON AI at discounted rates.

This is seen by German legal tech experts as a big deal, as there has been a notable level of scepticism until recently there in terms of leveraging AI tools. ///

Taylor Wessing has picked Legora, the legal AI platform. Following a successful pilot involving more than 80 lawyers across multiple offices, Legora will be rolled out firmwide. The platform will be supported with training tailored to each practice area to ensure folks get the most out of the new technology. ///

‘How Has GenAI Changed eDiscovery?’

At Artificial Lawyer we’ve explored how genAI is changing many aspects of legal tech. But what about eDiscovery? To dig into this subject AL spoke to James Park, AI Consulting Director at DISCO.

We had a great discussion during this 45 mins AL TV Special Feature and covered several key topics. If there is one overarching takeaway it’s that because of genAI the field of eDiscovery will never be the same again and has entered a new era of evolution.

Definely Webinar: Success Tactics – Change Management + AI – June 17

Next up is this webinar, which asks the question: how do you run a successful change management project when it comes to adopting legal AI across a law firm or inhouse team? Clearly just dropping some AI tools on a team of lawyers and hoping it all just works out is maybe not the best strategy. But, what is the best way to do this?

Jayanth Poorna – Partner, Culture and Change practice, Korn Ferry – As an engineer by qualification, a software developer by training and a specialist in culture, leadership and change, Jay brings the unique ability to see technology, operating models and transformation through the lens of human experience.

Molly Taylor – Head of Customer Success, Definely – who leads the Customer Success team at Definely, where she is dedicated to ensuring clients achieve measurable value from Definely’s legal products. Before joining Definely, Molly held roles at DXC Technology, Workshare, Litera and Legl.

Tony Randle, Partner, Client Technology & Service Improvement, Shoosmiths

Panel chair – Richard Tromans, Founder, Artificial Lawyer.

That’s all for now, folks.

As mentioned, next week AL will either be in Conference Chair Mode, or on holiday. AL will probably do one item of news on Monday, and also share some think pieces throughout the week, but that’s it. Regular news will start again on June 16th.
