Ropes & Gray LLP is integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into its mergers and acquisitions (M&A) practice to enhance efficiency and client service. The firm has recently adopted several AI platforms to streamline various aspects of transactional work.
In August 2025, Ropes & Gray expanded its partnership with Hebbia, an AI solutions provider, to utilize the “Matrix” platform. This tool assists in complex document review and data analysis, enabling fund formation and deal teams to identify key provisions and analyze precedents more swiftly and accurately than traditional methods. Melissa Bender, co-lead of the private funds group, noted that integrating Hebbia into fund workflows elevates document review and transaction analysis, ensuring clients receive top-tier service.

In October 2025, the firm adopted Centari’s Deal Intelligence platform across its transactional practices. This platform transforms Ropes & Gray’s proprietary deal and fund databases into a dynamic source of market insight, allowing the firm to provide clients with precise and strategic counsel in high-stakes negotiations. Howard Glazer, leader of the private equity transactions practice, emphasized that real-time market insight from extensive deal history positions the firm to meet client expectations at the forefront of market trends.

Additionally, Ropes & Gray implemented Draftwise, an AI contract and negotiation platform, to enhance attorney efficiency and accessibility to institutional knowledge. Draftwise enables attorneys to access relevant information and firm expertise directly within Microsoft Word, streamlining the drafting process and ensuring consistency with the firm’s experience.
