National employment law firm Jackson Lewis P.C. has reaffirmed its commitment to innovation with a series of initiatives designed to enhance collaboration, quality and client service.
Following the release of its first-ever generative AI policy and foundational training on generative AI for all employees, the firm, in partnership with Microsoft, conducted a series of Prompt-a-thons in various business services’ departments. The firm’s Knowledge Management department kicked off the first Prompt-a-thon, a virtual, multi-day competition that challenged participants to explore generative AI use cases and develop advanced AI prompts using M365 CoPilot applications. The Prompt-a-thon enabled the Jackson Lewis team and Microsoft experts to work together to hone their skills in AI prompt engineering, ensuring that the firm continues to lead in responsible and innovative AI utilization. The Marketing & Business Development and Communications departments held subsequent Prompt-a-thons; future competitions are planned for this winter.
“The Prompt-a-thon was an incredible opportunity for our team to roll up their sleeves and get hands-on with the latest generative AI technology,” said Senior Director of Practice and Innovation Kristen M. Baylis. “It was more than just a competition; it was a chance to dive into the nitty-gritty of prompt engineering and explore impactful use cases with guidance from Microsoft’s experts. This training has not only sharpened our skills but also reinforced our commitment to staying ahead of the curve in legal tech. By learning and adapting, we’re ensuring that Jackson Lewis can offer our clients the best possible service in an ever-evolving industry.”
“By leveraging Vincent AI’s capabilities, we can provide clients with deeper insights, streamlined research and innovative solutions tailored to their unique needs,” said Jackson Lewis Board Member Peter C. Moskowitz. “The firm’s investment in Vincent AI reflects our commitment to harnessing the latest advancements in legal technology to deliver unparalleled value for our clients.”
The Center of Excellence will serve as a hub for setting the firm’s innovation strategy, identifying and evaluating emerging technologies and ideas, actively seeking innovative ideas from employees, and fostering a culture where creativity and innovation thrive at every level. By breaking down silos and encouraging collaboration, the Innovation Center of Excellence ensures that innovation is not just a concept but a shared mission, enabling the firm to deliver smarter, more impactful solutions for its clients and the firm alike. The Center of Excellence is led by Kristen and is comprised of cross-departmental team members including Clifford, Arup, Principal and Chief Data Officer Thomas Barnett, Senior Director of Operations Nicole Castiglia, and Director of Data Analytics Jared Woolstenhulme.
“Our commitment to innovation stems from our role as trusted advisors,” said Firm Chair Kevin Lauri. “By continually evolving our practice and embracing new technologies, we’re better equipped to guide our clients through today’s complex legal and compliance landscape.”
