National law firm Irwin Mitchell is implementing artificial intelligence (AI) to assist its lawyers with research and drafting

The firm has selected Lexis+ AI, provided by LexisNexis Legal & Professional. Eleanor Windsor, partner, director of knowledge management, at Irwin Mitchell, said: ‘We selected Lexis+ AI as it is the most advanced legally trained AI solution on the market. It will enable us to maximise the value of the legal intelligence we already access from LexisNexis.’

The firm said Lexis+ AI’s search would enable lawyers to ask questions as they would to a trusted colleague, with cited and linked answers. Case law summarisation would be provided from a simple request, as well as first-draft contract clauses and client communications. Lawyers will be able to extract key insights within seconds.
