Startups Magazine and Legal Futures quote Daniel Rosenberg on the use of AI and technology in M&A
min readLegal Technology provider Litera, in association with the Technology in M&A Subcommittee of the American Bar Association’s M&A Committee, has released new data suggesting that UK firms currently use AI-based technologies to complete around half (49%) of their Merger & Acquisition (M&A) engagements and 61% at firms where M&A is the majority of their work.
As part of Litera’s new survey, ‘M&A in the AI Era: Future Trends in Deal-Making Tech’, the data reveals - amongst other findings - that law firm leaders are "navigating an increasingly competitive landscape for deal-making amid a slowdown in global M&A activity".
The paper finds that eight in 10 (80%) UK law firms indicate that AI is highly important for their overall M&A practice. Additionally, 94% anticipate that the majority of M&A engagements in the legal industry will be completed using AI-based technologies within the next 10 years.
Daniel Rosenberg, Partner in our Corporate team, and Chair of the ABA Technology in M&A Subcommittee, contributed to the paper and is quoted on its findings in articles by Startups Magazine and Legal Futures. Daniel comments:
It is no surprise that clients are increasingly asking lawyers to deploy AI in their transactions in order to leverage the significant efficiencies AI can generate [...] Those efficiencies are potentially so significant that lawyers should be more worried when their clients are not asking these questions – those clients are potentially going to be talking to lawyers who can offer these efficiencies on their own initiative.
