What are some of the firm’s most satisfying successes of the past year and why? The use of AI is often discussed in terms of how it might eventually impact the practice of law, so it has been incredibly satisfying to be able to apply AI in ways that deliver concrete benefits to our clients today. By tracking the latest innovative technology, investing in the people who understand the technology and partnering with our clients in deploying it, we have been able to deliver real litigation advantage with AI in current matters.

For example, with respect to the identification of privileged information through AI, we deployed software called Text IQ to accelerate discovery schedules without sacrificing—and instead, enhancing—the accuracy of our privilege review. From our perspective, the use of AI in law is not about replacing attorney analysis and judgment, but about empowering our lawyers to conduct their analysis more accurately and effectively.
