Linklaters announced last week that it has launched Applied Intelligence, which brings together lawyers and data scientists to co-design and deliver bespoke AI-enabled tech and legal solution for matters involving large and complex data sets and where off-the-shelf tools can’t deliver. We’re told that the team works with the full range of frontier models.
Legal IT Insider revealed in November last year that Linklaters has created a 20+ dedicated AI lawyers team and naturally wondered how the two programs and individuals interconnect. A spokesperson for the magic circle firm said: “This is the next step in the firm’s ongoing strategy to lead in legal AI and this team will be closely joined up with the 20+ dedicated AI lawyers, so we see the two initiatives as complementary.”
They added: “The AI Lawyer cohort and firmwide tools (Legora, Harvey, Copilot) embed AI into how our lawyers work day-to-day – they work alongside our practice groups to develop and implement AI solutions tailored to daily practice. Applied Intelligence is a specialist team you bring in when a matter needs more, e.g. algorithmic and AI review across large datasets or bespoke tech and legal solutions that an off-the-shelf tool cannot deliver.”
Tom Quoroll, co-founder of Applied Intelligence, commented: “We’ve built the team not just for technical capability, but for the collaboration and judgement needed to turn complexity into impact for our clients.”
