AI & Due Diligence, the Perfect Match

Being asked to “do more with less” is now a common feature of the modern workplace. This has become especially true for attorneys in private practice, where efficiency is now a top priority. A 2019 survey by the management consulting firm Altman Weil highlights that 96% of 362 responding law firms reported a focus on improved practice efficiency as a permanent industry trend. This heavy emphasis on efficiency has motivated lawyers to turn to sophisticated artificial intelligence (AI) tools to reduce duplicative work and cut hours off the time they must devote to contract review and monitoring. Cleary Gottlieb, and more specifically it’s recently founded legal tech incubator ClearyX, are similarly ahead of the curve.
