I’m preparing for a couple of vacation scheme interviews at the moment. A topic that has come up a few times in my research is artificial intelligence. What do I need to know about AI and its use in law firms?

Its great that you’re preparing well for vacation scheme interviews, and we agree AI is a subject that may come up. It’s worth bearing in mind that AI is already being used in many law firms. AI tools are helping with drafting documents, research and contract review to make lawyers more efficient. There’s a whole ecosystem of companies building AI specifically for law firms, like Harvey, Robin AI, and DraftWise, and firms are increasingly partnering with or adopting these tools.
