Artificial intelligence

The use of AI is rising rapidly, with the legal industry recognised as one being particularly impacted.

For law firms and in-house teams, this is not a matter of being replaced by AI, but being replaced by those that are using it better.

The Solicitors Regulation Authority’s risk outlook report cites that:

  • three quarters of the largest solicitors’ firms were using AI – nearly twice the number from just three years ago
  • over 60% of large law firms were at least exploring the potential of the new generative systems, but only a third of small firms

For many firms and in-house teams – particularly smaller and mid-sized organisations – the challenge is knowing where to start.

This waiting game may be catastrophic. Rather than AI being a levelling tool, it may mean one is unable to compete against those better resourced if steps are not taken at this stage to understand AI and where it may be relevant.

D2LT offers support and assistance to organisations wanting to take advantage of the UK government’s AI Upskilling Fund.

This fund specifically targets small-to-medium professional services firms, such as legal, in accessing AI skills training.

D2LT also offers a free AI readiness assessment survey to help organisations assess where they are on the AI maturity scale and develop a right-sized AI strategy, as well as AI training.

Legaltech – embracing the digital agenda

D2LT focuses on embracing the digital agenda and helping clients to understand, select and configure the tools that sit in the legaltech ecosystem. These include:

  • contract lifecycle management
  • document storage
  • knowledge management
  • document assembly
  • workflow
  • optical character recognition (OCR)
  • AI/machine learning
  • digital assets
  • blockchain/distributed ledger
  • smart contracts

Its approach is to advise law firms and in-house legal teams how to refine and optimise processes, and structure data effectively before employing any enabling technology (which it helps with the selection and implementation of), since this is typically a precondition to maximising the value of such solutions.

D2LT is a consultancy firm (rather than a software company) that assists our clients on target state operating models and selecting & configuring solutions and platforms. Accordingly, we are agnostic to particular vendor products so we can best advise client firms in this area.
