The legal industry is on the brink of a technological revolution, and one of the UK's largest general practice law firms, Irwin Mitchell, is at the forefront. They have announced plans to integrate Lexis+ AI into their operations, recognising the urgent need to embrace advanced technology.

Generative ai in the law

Generative AI (GenAI) is the driving force behind this change, revolutionising various industries, including law, with its ability to generate text, summarise information, and provide insights. This cutting-edge technology significantly reduces time and costs associated with legal research and drafting, allowing lawyers to focus more on client relationships and needs.

At the heart of this transformation is Lexis+ AI, a groundbreaking technology designed to redefine how legal professionals work. It offers features like accurate, linked citations in seconds, conversational search, enhanced summarisation, and generative document drafting. Lexis+ AI promises efficiency, cost savings, and time management improvements, making it the most comprehensive legal AI solution available today.
