How digitization, Artificial Intelligence are easing work for law firms

#artificialintelligence

New Delhi: When Vaishali Lotlikar joined Wanbury Ltd's legal department sometime in 2014, little did she know that locating a particular contract or assembling a legal brief would involve sifting through piles of documents, and wastage of precious hours and money in the process. "There was a lot of employee churn in the legal and marketing departments. Nobody really knew where the contracts were kept and what was there in each for the company to keep an eye on," she recalls. To streamline operations, Lotlikar and her team gathered all the contracts, digitized the same and put them into a document management system after tagging them for keywords, so that they could be easily searched when accessed from the firm's servers by authorized personnel. "I had used their technology at Glenmark and USV," says Lotlikar, adding that the familiarity helped her get up to speed.
