Drawing international attention with our approach to legal tech

Last month, we hosted an international delegation to showcase our innovative approach to legal tech.

The delegation, organised by the Department for Business and Trade (DBT), included representatives from the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) and DBT itself. This included Ewan Evans from DBT, Natalya Sharp from MOJ, Lana Dolan-Rathmell from MOJ and David Yates from DBT. We gave them an insight into our unique tech-positive mindset, which underpins both client advice and internal operations.

We take a hands-on approach to evaluating new tech, putting each tool through rigorous trials and assessment with our personnel to help ensure smooth integration, and that the tech meets both internal and client needs. This process is part of our award winning ‘I did that’ initiative, which encourages our people to identify smarter ways of working and helps ensure we invest in the right solutions. By giving everyone a voice, ‘I did that’ has created a culture of innovation that drives more efficient working practices across the board.

We’ve recently built a range of cutting-edge technologies into our workstreams, including HighQ, LMA Automate, Avvoka, and Orbital Witness CoPilot AI, significantly enhancing efficiency and introducing generative AI capabilities to our operations.

Matthew Lingard, our Intellectual Property Director said: “We’re proud to demonstrate our innovative approach to legal tech. Our collaborative method of technology procurement, involving stakeholders at all levels, ensures we adopt solutions that truly benefit our clients and our team. This visit supported an ongoing dialogue we have with the legal tech sector, which leads to positive outcomes for all involved. As both a large organisation with a sophisticated technology estate and a law firm with market leading technology practice, we were very pleased to host this delegation and continue discussions on the use of legal tech.”

Our dedication to staying ahead in legal tech is further evidenced by our specialist Technology working group and dedicated Innovation & Legal Tech team, whose focus is to keep abreast of developments in both technology and client demands.
