In 2021, Volkswagen AG approached the global law firm Freshfields with a problem. The German carmaker’s technology unit was preparing to release new software features and wanted to make sure that they would be compliant in the more than 100 countries where Volkswagens are sold.

In 2021, Volkswagen AG approached the global law firm Freshfields with a problem. The German carmaker’s technology unit was preparing to release new software features and wanted to make sure that they would be compliant in the more than 100 countries where Volkswagens are sold. Ordinarily, Freshfields said, it would bring in lawyers from each jurisdiction to vet the updates, budgeting thousands of euros per country — a process that would need to be repeated if any components changed in the future. This time, however, a seven-year-old part of the law firm focused on integrating tech and legal work stepped in with a different approach. Over the next year-and-a-half, the programmers and lawyers at Freshfields Lab worked with attorneys around the world to build a flexible AI platform that allowed Cariad, Volkswagen’s software arm, to run real-time global risk assessments. The technology, which is still in use, adapts to the carmaker’s product updates, is updated when a country enacts legal or regulatory changes, and visualizes everything on an interactive map. Freshfields Lab was an early effort to integrate technology into legal workflows. Now, it’s one of many such efforts at major law firms around the world. With AI threatening to upend the field, big law is hiring engineers and software specialists, adapting AI tools into day-to-day workflows, and developing bespoke AI legal products to license to clients. That, in turn, is forcing a rethink of pricing and hiring models, how firms should be structured, and even the kinds of services law firms should offer. “Radical evolution,” is how Drew Winlaw, a partner at Simmons+Simmons who oversees the firm’s global AI strategy, describes the transformation gripping the industry. In certain areas of the law, AI appears to be a natural fit. For those lawyers who work with large volumes of data — contracts, legal filings, financial documents and correspondence — AI can help by summarizing, translating, transcribing, comparing, r...

Israel expanded its ground assault in Lebanon with its broadest incursion into the country in a quarter-century as Hezbollah stepped up attacks on Israel’s north. On Sunday, Defense Minister Israel Katz said the IDF had planted a flag on the historic Beaufort castle near Nabatieh, and that the expansion amounted to “a permanent presence” in the region. Bloomberg's Dana Khraiche reports. (Source: B...

France’s navy boarded another oil tanker on the high seas after it sailed from Russia, the latest move in a global crackdown on shadow-fleet vessels used to export sanctioned crude. The operation, similar to others carried out in recent months, took place Sunday morning in the Atlantic Ocean with the support of France’s allies, including the UK, French President Emmanuel Macron said on X. The vessel — the Tagor — is subject to international sanctions. The Tagor, which is suspected of harboring a false flag, came from Murmansk, Russia, and is now being escorted by the navy for further checks, the French maritime prefecture said in a separate statement. “It is unacceptable that ships are circumventing international sanctions, violating the law of the sea, and financing the war that Russia has been waging against Ukraine for more than four year,” Macron said. In March, a ship called Deyna was stopped in the Mediterranean. Earlier this year, the “Grinch” was also boarded in the Mediterranean on suspicion of flying a false flag. A similar case occured last year, when the tanker Boracay was boarded off France’s Atlantic coast for failing to provide proof of its nationality and flag. The US, UK and European Union have sanctioned hundreds of tankers for helping Russia export oil to fund its war in Ukraine. However, so far Russian oil has mostly continued to flow.
