Artificial Intelligence has permeated almost every industry, either in word or deed, in the last couple of years. From financial institutions to ride-hailing services such as Uber, companies are clambering over one another to take advantage of this technology to stay ahead of the competition. However, one area which Artificial Intelligence has been unable to find a platform in, until very recently, has been the legal sector. There is a belief that the legal sector, particularly when it comes to the courtroom environment, is reserved exclusively for sharp-suited lawyers, who have trained for years to be able to build and present a case in order to persuade a jury of their peers of the validity of their argument. However, the tide might now be turning.

Kim Technologies, a next generation provider of software that applies artificial intelligence capabilities to knowledge automation and which powers the Riverview Law Virtual Assistants has appointed Robert (Bob) Farina as its Chief Executive Officer. Bob is a highly experienced CEO of Private Equity and Venture Capital backed US technology companies. He has over 30 years' experience in leading start-ups, turnarounds and high growth enterprises in the software-as-a-service ("SaaS"), business process outsourcing, professional services, payment processing and packaged software business segments. His previous CEO and VP roles include JK Group Inc (2012-2016), Cybershift Inc (2002-2011) and USInternetworking (2000-2002). The appointment of Bob marks the next step in the development of Kim Technologies as the team and technology grow and evolve at a rapid pace.
