Whilst working in the Markets Innovation Group:
- ContractMatrix was developed, a system that uses AI to enhance contract drafting, review and analysis. This involved the first ever collaboration to develop a software product between a law firm and Microsoft. The system is used extensively within the firm and also by clients.
- We became the first law firm in the world to deploy generative AI at an enterprise level with the roll out of Harvey in November 2022.
These innovations received widescale coverage in press, including the Financial Times and other leading international publications.
