Eversheds Sutherland’s legal operations company Konexo has launched a technology resourcing service, supplying specialists on a temporary basis to help legal departments identify and adopt the right technology. The news comes as Linklaters launches Linklaters Law Compare in conjunction with Single Rulebook, a digital platform to stay on top of regulatory rule changes.
Konexo says its new consultancy offering is in response to the growing demand from clients for legal tech expertise, particularly in light of advances in AI. The company has seen legal technology options continue to grow in the market since Thomson Reuters noted that 1,369 patents for tech in the sector were filed with the World Intellectual Property Organization in 2019 and more than $1bn of venture capital was invested in 2021.
Babar Hayat, head of technology and transformation at Konexo, said: “As the business world changes so does the way we carry out legal tasks. Over the years this has meant a gradual increase in technology within the sector. However, in recent years there has been an explosion in the investment, development, acquisition and integration of legal technology in the industry and in-house teams need to be able to access people with legal technology knowledge to implement this new technology successfully.
