Law firms are embracing artificial intelligence (AI) in a bid to improve efficiency. Developed in conjunction with tech start-up RAVN, BLP's'contract robot' can complete legal work which would take a team of paralegals and associates months to do within seconds. It is currently assisting the firm's real estate team. Called LONald, the robot extracts data from Land Registry documents and enters it into a spreadsheet in the same way staff would do. It cross-checks data points to remove duplicates and then uses the spreadsheet to send queries out.
