Why we built the world's first AI platform for antitrust lawyers
How a mismatch between enterprise AI rollouts and specialist competition practice led us to build CompetitionAI—and why we think AI can expand opportunity for teams that lean in.
Is your AI strategy inconsistent with your commercial strategy? Competition teams try to show that they’re different, that they’re subject matter experts with unique skills. On the other hand law firms are buying generic tools for their whole firms.
Not all AI tools are created equally. Generic AI tools that are not focussed on what competition lawyers actually do will not live up to the potential of AI. What competition lawyers do is different from other practices. However, this requires AI tools that are focussed on the work that antitrust lawyers do, reflecting the specialised nature of the modern practice of antitrust law.
Competition lawyers often nervously ask me whether AI is going to take their jobs, but there are good reasons to think that AI is actually going to create more jobs for competition lawyers: 👇
It’s absolutely astonishing what AI can do for competition lawyers today and I have to admit I sometimes find it a bit scary, but competition lawyers are in the lucky position that there are forces at play which mean AI will create more work, not less, at least for those who position themselves to benefit from the coming wave.
