Neota Logic is thrilled to have collaborated with Akerman LLP and Thomson Reuters on the creation of the Akerman Data Law Center, an automated inventory of data privacy and security laws.
“The Akerman Data Law Center is an opportunity to reengineer how legal services are delivered. Artificial intelligence and other non-traditional methods of delivering legal services are too often viewed as threats to the traditional law firm model. At Akerman, we see them as opportunities for our clients. If we can achieve a better result by partnering with another industry expert, the right answer is to partner. If we can automate a routine decision or document, the right answer is to automate. Client needs and client influence are guiding the development of the Akerman Data Law Center,” said Jeff Sharer, co-chair of Akerman’s Data Law Practice.
On December 7th, Akerman published the below press release after being ranked among the top four law firms in the first-ever Innovation in Collaboration category for the creation of the Akerman Data Law Center.
MIAMI, Dec. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Akerman LLP, a top 100 U.S. law firm serving clients across the Americas, has once again been selected as one of the nation’s most innovative law firms by the Financial Times. The firm ranked no. 20 on the 2016 FT 25 North America list, which recognizes market leaders who are driving change in the areas of the business of law, legal expertise and social responsibility. Akerman received further distinction for its commitment to client service innovation and collaboration.
Akerman was ranked among the top four law firms in the first-ever Innovation in Collaboration category for the creation of the Akerman Data Law Center, an automated inventory of data privacy and security laws developed in partnership with Thomson Reuters Legal Managed Services and Neota Logic.
The Akerman Data Law Center leverages the power of integrated “expert systems,” a form of artificial intelligence (AI), to deliver legal advice from Akerman lawyers to clients efficiently and cost-effectively. This AI-driven approach enables clients to remain on the frontlines of business-critical data laws and handle routine compliance issues in-house at a greatly reduced expense, allowing them to engage with outside counsel in even more meaningful and effective ways.
