Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas has announced the adoption of several cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled technologies across both its legal and business services functions..The firm has selected Harvey (on a pilot basis) and Lucio to empower its lawyers with AI-driven capabilities, and also Copilot and ChatGPT Plus to redefine business operations..Since 2017, CAM has actively explored AI’s potential with the launch of Prarambh, its proprietary legaltech incubator (now getting into its 3rd cohort).The initial use cases will include due diligence, cross verification of facts, litigation support, preparation of initial drafts and legal research. The firm’s business services team will use the said tools for knowledge management, business development assistance, human resource deployment and financial analysis. After the initial deployment, the firm will strongly partner with AI providers to prepare customised solutions for CAM..Managing Partner Cyril Shroff said in a press release, "The global legal industry stands at the cusp of a technological revolution. At CAM, we are determined to lead from the front. Our AI journey began in 2017 with a forward-looking vision to harness technology for better client outcomes. Today, we take another decisive step towards a future where AI is central to our Firm’s DNA. Generative AI is a paradigm shift that will define the future of law. As a firm, we have always been pioneers. We recognise that the next few years will be crucial in shaping the legal landscape. We see AI as a catalyst that will not only drive efficiency but also enhance the strategic value we provide to our clients.”He further emphasised CAM’s commitment to security, confidentiality, and privacy, stating, “As we deeply embrace AI, we remain cognizant of, and committed to, maintaining the highest standards of data protection, robust safeguards, including advanced surveillance mechanisms, strict guardrails, and comprehensive policies to ensure that client information is always secure. Additionally, we are working closely with our technology partners to establish stringent contractual terms and conditions that align with our commitment to confidentiality, compliance, and ethical AI use. Trust and integrity have always been the cornerstones of our practice and these principles will continue to guide us as we navigate an exciting AI-driven future.”.Partner & Head of International Business Rishabh Shroff added,“I am excited to work with our new legaltech partners in integrating AI into our daily lawyering and lives. With clients themselves deeply embedding AI into their businesses and legal departments, working with Harvey (on a pilot basis), Lucio and other AI tools will help us stay ahead of the curve and work in harmony with clients, as we navigate the AI driven future together. Personally, I am keen to use these tools and drive innovation. To help further maximise time efficiency and simplify the vast ocean of content we need to consume as legal practitioners to stay relevant!”.Chief Innovation Officer Komal Gupta said,"We were never just observers in the AI revolution - we have been active participants from the start. Over the past 8 years, since we began with machine learning tools, we have built internal capabilities and learned valuable lessons from our own experiences and global best practices. With today’s announcement, we are taking a quantum leap forward, moving to a firm-wide strategy that will reshape how we work, collaborate, and deliver value to our clients. This will touch every professional in the Firm.”.This week, S&R Associates also announced its adoption of AI with the firm's partnership with Lucio..If you would like your Deals, Columns, Press Releases to be published on Bar & Bench, please fill in the form available here.
