Artificial intelligence platform welcomes legal practice director

Software company iManage has announced the appointment of Stephanie Vaughan as global legal artificial intelligence (AI) practice director for iManage RAVN.

Stephanie joins the team after almost ten years with Allen & Overy, where she worked in the market innovations and derivatives and structured finance groups as a senior associate. In her new role with iManage RAVN— which provides automated document classification and extraction for professional organisations—Stephanie will work with customers to assist them in adopting AI technology.

Nick Thomson, general manager of iManage RAVN, said: ‘Stephanie’s appointment is key for iManage and we are delighted that she has already hit the ground running. Her intimate knowledge of law firm operation alongside their challenges, business drivers and approach to innovation is already proving valuable for us as we continuously evolve and hone our offering.’

Stephanie added: ‘Law firms recognise that technology isn’t the only element that is needed to nurture a culture of innovation. Firms are taking a holistic view of innovation so that they can run their business with efficiency and to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to dealing with evolving challenges, including competition, recruitment, talent retention and more. iManage has the technology and vision to support firms with all this and more—it’s an exciting time to join iManage as we continue to grow.’
