Strategic Watch

Ongoing

Automated LegalTech Watch

An automated weekly intelligence brief tracking the technologies reshaping legal practice, built with AI agents that source, filter and summarise signals before human editorial review.

  • Five recurring sections: Tech, Artificial Intelligence, French Tech, LegalTech regulation, and LegalTech market moves (firms, vendors, funding, hires).
  • Automated sourcing and clustering of press, vendor and regulator publications, with every item traced back to its original source.
  • Coverage of frontier-model releases and pricing shifts, sovereign AI and cloud developments, and AI-native law firm launches.
  • Regulatory monitoring across the EU, US, UK and APAC: AI in court filings, citation-verification duties, GDPR and health-data privacy enforcement.
  • Editorial pass in French or English before internal distribution, with a short so-what read for legal teams.

Document Automation

Delivered

Contract Automation with Avvoka

Automation of recurring legal documents using Avvoka: templates turned into questionnaire-driven documents with conditional logic, reusable clause libraries and negotiation-ready outputs.

  • Mapping of document logic with fee earners, then translation into automated templates and conditional clause sets.
  • Reduction of manual drafting steps and copy-paste risk on high-volume, standardised documents.
  • Consistent output formatting and version control for downstream negotiation and review.

Training & Enablement

Internal

Harvey AI, Copilot & AI Workflow Training

Preparation and delivery support for internal training sessions teaching lawyers how to use Harvey AI and Microsoft Copilot inside real legal workflows rather than as standalone tools.

  • Hands-on session materials built around practical use cases: research, drafting, summarisation, review and translation.
  • Prompting patterns and guardrails adapted to legal work, including verification habits and confidentiality rules.
  • Workflow blueprints showing where AI fits in a matter lifecycle, and where human review stays mandatory.
  • Expert speaker sourcing and session logistics for internal audiences.
