Hogan Lovells joins Global Legal Tech Alliance to shape the future of AI-enabled legal services

The alliance addresses a gap in the market: while firms across jurisdictions face similar challenges in adopting AI and legal technology, there has been no structured, law-firm-led platform for tackling them collectively. The Global Legal Tech Alliance aims to change that through shared standards, joint development of solutions for complex legal workflows, and dedicated training through the Global Legal Tech Alliance Academy.

Through the Global Legal Tech Alliance Academy, member firms will access shared training resources and development programmes for legal professionals at all levels. The Global Legal Tech Alliance Forum provides a regular platform for peer exchange on emerging technology and legal operations, while the Global Legal Tech Alliance Strategic Forum brings together senior leadership for longer-term dialogue on the direction of legal tech and its implications for the profession.

The alliance is built on the idea that law firms are best placed to drive innovation in this sector, holding high quality data, having a deep understanding of legal issues, and adhering to high ethical standards of practice. It is aimed at providing the best possible, tech-enabled legal advice to clients.

Mark W. Brennan, Global Managing Partner for Digitalization, comments:

"Legal tech is increasingly central to how we deliver for clients. We and other firms in the Alliance have the expertise, the data, and the professional standards to lead on this.”

Sebastian Lach, Hogan Lovells partner and Co-CEO of ELTEMATE, comments:

“Our clients expect more than excellent legal advice. They want smart, scalable technology too. The Global Legal Tech Alliance allows us to put innovations into practice faster than ever, while also creating a one-of-a-kind learning ecosystem for legal professionals to grow and thrive. By joining the Global Legal Tech Alliance, Hogan Lovells becomes part of a global network of leading law firms seeking to actively shape the future of legal services through technology, cooperation, innovation, and shared expertise.”

The other member firms include Tilleke & Gibbins, Moll Wendén, Cadwalader, Levy & Salomão Advogados, Havel & Partners, Gercke Wollschläger, AGS Legal, Winter | Thürk, Walder Wyss, MLL Legal, and Jiménez Peña Abogados.
