The IP Lounge: Law firms’ AI use | meeting DEI requirements

MIP Podcast newsletter header banner sample-2000.jpg

We discuss how law firms are using AI, whether remote working has resulted in cost-savings, and what corporate counsel want from their advisers when it comes to DEI


In this episode, the team delves into some of the biggest talking points from the last few weeks.

Editor Max Walters is joined by Rani Mehta, senior reporter for the Americas, and Sukanya Sarkar, our special projects editor in Asia.

We look back at some of our recent coverage.

On the agenda in today’s episode includes a look at whether law firms are noticing savings from switching to remote working, a look ahead to the latest artificial intelligence and tech trends, including how law firms are using AI, and a review of our newest What Corporates Want report, which this time focussed on what in-house counsel expect from law firms regarding DEI.

We will be back with a new episode in March. Thank you for listening.
