Lawfront selects GenAI marketplace Jylo: "This is about democratising expertise"

National law firm consolidator Lawfront has selected generative AI marketplace Jylo as the key AI platform for all of its partner firms.

Lawfront is a private equity backed company that acquires regional law firms, helping them to provide an exit to senior partners as well as adopt modern technology and a shared operating system. Lawfront currently owns Brachers, Farleys, Fisher Jones Greenwood, Nelsons, Slater Heelis and Trethowans. Following what we’re told was an extensive review of use cases across member firms, Lawfront selected Jylo for its ability to serve a wide number of practice areas and groups.

Jylo, a London-based AI business, enables law firms to leverage different LLMs in their organisations and create proprietary AI ‘playbooks’ to automate, augment and accelerate legal work. This is particularly valuable for Lawfront, as it allows for collaboration across the six firms in the group and sharing of best practice.

Teams working across the Lawfront firms can create their own ‘playbooks’ for document analysis, review, or to generate documents, allowing them to automate time-intensive tasks like identifying key clauses, extracting key information, checking for compliance and flagging risks.

James Grice, head of innovation and AI at Lawfront, who joined in December last year from Eversheds Sutherland, said: “The adaptability of Jylo’s platform makes it a perfect fit for the wide range of firms, practice areas and lawyers across Lawfront. Teams are already starting to see the impact of Jylo on their workflow and efficiency. This kind of investment is what allows Lawfront firms to build a competitive advantage over peers in their regional markets.”

He added: “This isn’t just about efficiency – it’s about democratising expertise. Our most experienced partners’ knowledge doesn’t just benefit their immediate team anymore; it becomes a strategic asset for the entire group.”

Shawn Curran, founder and CEO of Jylo, said: “The future belongs to firms that can harness collective intelligence, Lawfront isn’t just adopting AI – they’re reimagining how legal knowledge can be shared, scaled, and turned into lasting competitive advantage.”
