Another major law firm strikes tech deal<\/p>\n

\"\"
Slaughter and May<\/a> has become the latest Magic Circle firm to roll out an AI platform across its entire practice, announcing a firmwide deal with Harvey.<\/p>\n

The firm will deploy Harvey\u2019s platform across all practice groups, with the AI being used to support lawyers on cross-border M&A, due diligence, regulatory research and document analysis.<\/p>\n

Managing partner David Johnson said the adoption would \u201cenhance the excellent service\u201d the firm provides to clients, adding that \u201cthe vital human layer that supervises AI\u201d \u2014 i.e. its lawyers \u2014 remains central to the rollout. Partner and head of innovation Sally Wokes struck a similarly measured tone, describing AI as a tool to \u201cconnect and apply\u201d the firm\u2019s existing expertise rather than replace it.<\/p>\n

This deal comes as Harvey continues to secure partnerships across the legal sector and also recently announced a partnership with Gabriel Macht<\/a> \u2014 the actor best known for playing fictional hotshot lawyer Harvey Specter in Suits. Harvey (the AI company, not the fictional lawyer) has not confirmed whether Macht will be expected to close deals by legal deadline or simply look good doing it.<\/p>\n

Fellow Magic Circle firm Freshfields also recently struck an AI deal with Anthropic<\/a>, though with the added ambition of developing its own in-house tools alongside it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another major law firm strikes tech deal Slaughter and May has become the latest Magic Circle firm to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":562144,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,733,4308,192755,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-562143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-slaughter-and-may","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/562143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=562143"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/562143\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/562144"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=562143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=562143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=562143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
