Clifford Chance, a prominent multinational law firm, is set to expand the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies throughout its worldwide workforce. Making use of Copilot for Microsoft 365 and Viva Suite, the move follows the increasing trend of technology adoption within the legal industry. As reported by Bloomberg Law, this initiative makes Clifford Chance one of the first organisations to deploy these two AI tools across its entire firm.
These technologies rely on the rapidly evolving AI and Natural Language Processing (NLP) fields. They aim to ease the burden of daily tasks that are conventionally manual, time-consuming, and prone to errors. Examples of these tasks include administration of meetings and tasks, drafting emails, and managing inboxes. By automating these processes, Clifford Chance aims to improve efficiency and allow its legal professionals to focus on complex, substantive matters.
This strategic decision aligns with the ongoing digital shift in the legal sector. Clifford Chance has been at the forefront of this trend, embracing advanced technology to facilitate its operations. The firm’s focused approach on AI adoption could serve as a blueprint for other organisations in the legal arena looking to significantly enhance their operations through the use of advanced AI tools.
