Legal powerhouse Norton Rose Fulbright has recently formalized its artificial intelligence practice team in the United States, in a move that signals an increasing emphasis on the integration of technology and law at the highest levels. Announced on a Tuesday, the new team will be led by Chuck Hollis.
Hollis, a lawyer specializing in technology, outsourcing, and strategic commercial transactions, will serve as the US Head of AI. His notable breadth of experience handling technology and commercial arrangements places him as an ideal spearhead for this new endeavour.
According to statements from Norton Rose Fulbright, the firm’s AI capabilities cover a range of pertinent legal areas. These include regulatory advice and guidance, data protection and use, intellectual property protection and enforcement, as well as corporate governance. Other areas of focus are policy and framework development, and AI risk and impact assessments.
This bold move by Norton Rose Fulbright not only underscores the firm’s commitment to embracing progressive technology in legal practice, it also highlights the growing importance of AI in various aspects of legal work.
