In Business Insider, Ed Black and Melissa Bender Discuss How AI is Helping Ropes & Gray Perform Cutting-Edge Legal Work

In an article in Business Insider, Ed Black, senior counsel and technology strategy leader, and Melissa Bender, an asset management partner and co-head of the private funds practice, discuss how Ropes & Gray has been at the forefront of AI adoption, helping the firm continue to deliver excellent client service and its strong tradition of performing cutting-edge legal work.

As the article details, through strong relationships and consistent communications with AI legal technology developers, the firm has its ear to the ground on the latest trends and technologies in the industry. Required training programs coupled with the use of AI tools such as Harvey and Hebbia not only allow attorneys to have a complete understanding of the tools’ capabilities and use cases, but also empower them to speak with clients about the firm’s technology capabilities.

Extensive testing and an unwavering commitment to the responsible use of AI have also allowed Ropes & Gray to adopt the technology in a way that best serves attorney and client needs. As Ed notes in the article, “Clients want it because they can see the potential value. We want to deliver. We’re a service organization.”
