We are keen to engage with you actively on this subject, as the impact of AI is significant and demands ongoing dialogue and collaboration. In this article, we share what we are currently working on and how we view these developments. By combining advanced AI tools with our people’s judgement, empathy, and understanding of context, we strive for better results and stronger client relationships. Our approach is responsible, secure, and focused on excellence, ensuring that technology enriches the way we partner with our clients and the growth of our professionals. Here are 5 things you need to know.
-
#1 AI enhances our legal work while the human factor remains central
Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings a new dimension to legal services, transforming how matters are handled and boosting both efficiency and quality. Clients benefit directly from swift document review and drafting, informed by years of legal expertise and the latest jurisprudence, legislation and contextual analysis. AI-powered legal work means cases are processed faster, with deeper research and more comprehensive insights, delivering stronger outcomes for you.
Our legal professionals can analyse vast volumes of information, unearth relevant precedents and provide advice tailored to your unique situation. With AI in the mix, result is more accurate, reliable and strategic guidance, helping you achieve your objectives while retaining that vital human judgement, relationship, and expertise at the heart of legal practice.
Time-consuming research and administrative tasks are streamlined, so clients benefit from rigorous attention to detail without lengthy delays or unnecessary cost. Complex cases, such as due diligence or litigation, are supported by advanced technology, ensuring no stone is left unturned and every advantage is explored for your benefit.

#2 We use AI responsibly to ensure accuracy, reliability and trust
AI powerfully augments human expertise, unlocking new strengths and opportunities when guided by a robust governance framework and careful risk management.
Our approach to AI is always grounded in the highest standards of professionalism and integrity. We ensure all AI applications fully align with client agreements, external party terms and conditions, as well as all relevant laws, regulations, and professional obligations. This commitment is underpinned by three key strengths:
- A robust AI governance structure to oversee the implementation of internal processes and guidelines, AI implementations, ensure responsible deployment, and maintain compliance with client agreements, regulatory requirements and other professional obligations relevant to your organisation.
- A secure technical framework that protects sensitive data through proper architectural controls, role-based access controls, and compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
- Comprehensive training of employees. At a minimum, all personnel should possess a fundamental understanding of how (generative) AI operates and understand the associated risks of hallucinations and bias. Expert knowledge of specific AI tools (e.g., Copilot or sector-specific AI solutions such as Legora) ensures their effective and responsible use in their daily work and may ultimately prove to be the decisive factor in a successful implementation.

#3 Your data stays safe: we apply strict, secure and compliant AI practices
In today’s regulatory environment, deploying AI solutions like Microsoft Copilot or Legora without robust security and governance exposes organisations to significant risks, ranging from accidental data leaks to non-compliance with relevant regulation such as GDPR, the AI Act, DORA, or NIS2.
We ensure that our security, architecture and data protection measures meet the highest standards, providing a solid foundation for the responsible use of AI. Our environments are securely integrated with strict data security and data privacy processes, including amongst others role-based access controls and strong authentication methodologies. These practices prevent accidental data loss, both internal and external, ensuring the protection of data belonging to our clients, our firm and our service providers. With our approach, you can confidently rely on AI-powered legal services, knowing that the data we use remains safe and compliant at every stage.

#4 Our people make AI valuable: we train talent to add context, insight and quality
A successful partnership between people and AI hinges on well-trained people. The need for talent goes far beyond simply teaching staff how to use new tools. There are several key considerations.
At present, junior professionals and administrative roles are likely to feel the greatest impact of AI advancements. Nevertheless, it is crucial to maintain a strong pipeline of talent to develop the senior professionals of the future. As a law firm, we recognise our responsibility in nurturing legal experts who may one day move on to in-house legal teams or other positions across the legal landscape.
As the legal sector evolves, professionals must possess both technological proficiency and legal expertise, as merging these skill sets will deliver the greatest value to clients and the industry. Truly effective use of AI requires a contextual approach and demands talent that combines strong legal acumen with a sound understanding of technology. In addition, legal professionals must be adept at curating and preparing qualitative data, such as case histories, so that AI platforms are supplied with data that is both relevant and useful.
We have fully embedded AI training into our professional development programmes, and we recognise the growing need for these new capabilities. Ultimately, these efforts will reshape the way we develop talent and ensure we continue to deliver exceptional legal services in an evolving landscape.

This technological shift is also paving the way for fresh business models and innovative fee structures, which will strengthen our partnerships with clients. It is truly an exciting era for our profession.
