Clayton Utz has built a suite of tools to automate general and specialised legal tasks with OpenAI and RelativityOne, and is looking to save its lawyers more time by trialling Lexis+AI to generate documents.
The law firm, one of Australia’s ‘big six,’ will evaluate Lexis+AI’s ability to generate first drafts of documents including advice to clients, internal emails and court filings such as statements of claim.
After LexisNexis announced Clayton Utz’s participation in an Australian preview of the solution, which is only commercially available in the US, the firm’s chief executive partner Emma Covacevich said: “Lexis+ AI will allow us to make even more effective use of legal information resources.”
The Lexis+AI pilot follows a series of previous investments in automation.
Clayton Utz has a team of over 100 staff dedicated to building tools for both firm-wide legal tasks and niche operations specific to environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG), employment, property and other fields of law.
Data broker LexisNexis, most known for its legal document subscription services, tapped Clayton Utz and Holding Redlich to provide feedback on Lexis+AI’s ability to automate tasks within the Australian legal sector before its commercial release in the Asia Pacific in the coming months.
“As LexisNexis is a key content provider, we see its AI solutions having an important role in our own AI program and helping us to deliver a new level of client experience,” Covacevich added.
