Harnessing Gen AI in law

Harnessing Gen AI in law. Lessons from the front lines in Europe  – European law firms are ramping up efforts to embrace the potential of Gen AI. In a recent report by The Global Legal Post in association with LexisNexis, senior lawyers and executives from leading firms in Spain, Germany, Italy, Portugal and Belgium said they expect Gen AI tech to transform how they deliver legal services and the way their lawyers will work on a day-to-day basis. From testing and piloting Gen AI tools to roll out and adoption, there is no single approach to follow; instead, it will be dictated by the size of the firm and its culture. “The smaller ones will be able to implement very quickly, because the disruption would be quite limited,” said Sebastien Bardou, VP strategy in the CEMEA region at LexisNexis. “For the larger ones, it’s better to implement in waves. You can’t just turn on a switch and say everyone is going to use it.” Firms should also ensure they have support programmes in place to bolster adoption efforts and reduce the chances Gen AI tools will go unused. For example, some firms are providing support such as technical training and access to prompt libraries to make it easier for lawyers to get the information they need. “We really want to ensure a good user experience from the very first moment and also make sure our junior lawyers are trained from the beginning,” said Eric Wagner, a partner at Gleiss Lutz in Germany… As Gen AI changes the way lawyers work on a daily basis, expectations around service delivery are also likely to evolve as the technology redraws relationships between firms and their clients. For now, there remains a diverse range of attitudes towards AI among legal services buyers, which potentially makes it more challenging for firms to roll out AI technology firmwide. “Some clients are very much into AI themselves and so are already buying licenses for AI products, some ask us agnostically how we are using AI tools, and then there are others who just say we shouldn’t use AI tools when serving them,” said Margarida Saragoça, Business and Knowledge Director at VdA. “This means our policies have to be spread out so everybody is in tune and knows what AI tools can be used or shouldn’t be used…”
