In recent years, global law firms have relied heavily on traditional practices to manage client needs. This approach often involved multiple lawyers collaborating across jurisdictions for compliance checks. Such processes meant significant time and resources spent on each project, a norm that had remained largely unchanged.
However, in 2021, Volkswagen AG challenged this status quo. The company sought the assistance of Freshfields to navigate regulatory compliance for new software features intended for over 100 countries. This request highlighted the limitations of conventional legal approaches, prompting a reevaluation of how firms could better serve tech-centric clients.
Freshfields responded intelligence into its workflow. Instead of engaging numerous lawyers for assessments, AI systems could quickly analyze compliance requirements across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously. This shift not only streamlined the process but also significantly reduced costs and time involved in compliance checks.
The impact of this transition is profound. Law firms are now reconsidering how they deliver services, with AI tools enhancing efficiency. As technology continues to evolve, traditional legal practices face pressure to innovate, ultimately reshaping the entire legal industry for the better.
