Linklaters put together a squad of attorneys who got trained up on AI stuff, and they're gonna help other lawyers at the firm figure out how to use the tech for better workflows and client work. The team is pairing up with data science people to find spots where AI makes sense and figure out implementation, which some director named Sarah Barnard says will lead to cooler solutions for everyone.
Some analyst from Gartner thinks other big law firms are probably gonna copy this move since they've already dropped serious cash on AI investments. The main issue these new AI teams will face is getting swamped with requests for help, and they'll also need to sort through all the generative AI products flooding the market.
Linklaters already rolled out a platform called Legora to automate boring legal tasks and built its own chatbot. Other firms like Latham & Watkins and Ropes & Gray are doing similar training programs for junior lawyers, while Kennedys teamed up with Spellbook to teach associates about AI-powered contract work using GPT-5.
