Our approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI) & innovation
White & Case is investing in AI & innovation to empower our people, deliver greater value to our clients and drive sustainable growth. Our multi-layered approach to delivering our AI & Innovation Roadmap is built on four key pillars:
Organization
Our AI & innovation initiatives are driven by a team of partners, associates and multi-disciplinary specialists. This team ensures our efforts and investments focus on creating value for our clients. Each of our global practices has designated partners and associates as Innovation Champions to facilitate integration of AI & innovation with our legal services. Additionally, led by Chief Innovation Officer Isabel Parker, we've built a dedicated, cross-functional AI & Innovation team with deep experience in law, data and technology to offer best-in-class support.
Technology
Our buy-and-build approach means we adopt the best tools available on the market while developing our own capabilities to stay flexible and responsive to our clients' needs. We've deployed several AI-powered tools, including a proprietary AI platform, and we continually pilot solutions to improve our efficiency and service offerings. We also constantly monitor the fast-evolving AI technology market to ensure we remain competitive.
Culture
We believe that AI will only have a real impact if our people embrace the opportunities it presents. Building on our Firm's entrepreneurial and pioneering values, we are committed to transforming our Firm for the future, fostering a culture of innovation that translates to more effective and creative client solutions. In particular, our commitment to advancing AI literacy at all levels ensures that our teams routinely upskill and enhance their knowledge, keeping pace with the rapid evolution of AI in legal service delivery.
Governance
Ensuring our clients' data security is paramount. We carefully select AI tools that comply with the legal, ethical and regulatory requirements in every jurisdiction where we operate. We maintain a state-of-the-art policy on the responsible use of AI, and train our people accordingly. Our commitment to responsible AI use ensures that our advancements directly result in secure, reliable and ethical solutions for our colleagues and clients.
