International law firm Clifford Chance announced a partnership with Kira Systems wherein they will deploy Kira’s machine-learning AI technology for document and contract review. In a statement announcing the partnership, Bas Boris Visser, the newly appointed global head of innovation and business change at the firm, noted the partnership was a part of the firm’s continuing focus on providing efficiencies and cost-savings for its general counsel clients.

“Our clients are under substantial pressure to reduce legal spend. At the same time, they need more support to manage the increasing risks and complex issues that their companies are facing,” he said.
