Innovation has been a constant throughout our firm's history. Now, as AI and other technologies evolve, we're meeting that change thoughtfully and responsibly, with our clients front of mind.
Our approach follows three connected steps: we train our people in the standards and habits that make AI truly useful; we drive the adoption of new tools through a network of champions representing every department in the firm; and we collaborate with clients to build custom AI solutions that elevate our service.
Learn
Advanced Training Opportunities for Attorneys and Staff
We offer a self-paced training course on the practical use of generative AI in law firms, developed and delivered by Berkeley Law Executive Education. The Berkeley program emphasizes working alongside AI rather than relying solely on prompts and reinforces the importance of reviewing AI-generated work and verifying its sources. Reflecting our commitment to responsible AI use, this course is grounded in the professional responsibility rules that lawyers already follow. Attorneys who complete it may also receive continuing legal education (MCLE) credit, including ethics credit and, in states that require it, credit toward the technology-in-the-practice-of-law requirement.
Adopt
AI Champions Network to Drive Internal Adoption
We understand that lasting AI adoption is a process. Even with formal structures in place, it takes time and energy from people who genuinely care about getting it right. That's the role our AI Champions play. Since the network launched in early 2026, more than 150 legal and business professionals have joined, representing every department in the firm. Champions commit roughly 2–3 hours per week to learning and adopting new AI tools, attending advanced training sessions, and sharing use cases with their peers. While participation is intended to be ongoing, each champion completes a capstone project: a custom AI agent or workflow for their own practice group.
Build
Dedicated AI Development Function Within IT
We see AI development as an opportunity to collaborate with clients on solutions that ultimately help us deliver a higher level of service. In our collaborative model, attorneys and clients work with the Womble AI Labs technical team in a rapid, iterative development process using general-purpose and legal-specific AI platforms and models. Shared client/counsel teams create simple, AI-driven solutions that require no software licenses or advanced training and are built to the firm's strict standards for security and client confidentiality.
Solutions
Our in-house AI team works alongside clients to co-develop technology solutions. We typically focus on legal and administrative work that's structured, repeatable, and well-defined.
Some examples include:
- Regulatory monitoring and alerts
- Document generation and packaging
- Contract review and lifecycle management
- Early-stage legal analyses and case assessments
- Expert systems based on historical knowledge
- Other routine legal tasks that follow a playbook
Lending Document Generator
Problem: Pulling key information from source files and manually placing it into foreclosure and consumer demand documents was time-consuming and left room for human error.
Solution: We built an AI-powered tool that extracts key data from uploaded source files and automatically generates these documents using the client's existing form templates.
MS Word Add-In for Complaints
Problem: Responding to complaint allegations required attorneys to manually search prior filings for matching historical answer language, a slow, non-scalable process that was becoming increasingly difficult because of the volume of filings.
Solution: Our intelligent Word add-in flags unanswered allegation paragraphs, searches a historical knowledge base for matching language, scores each suggestion for accuracy, and inserts it into the document with a confidence score for attorney review.
USPTO Response Agent
Problem: Attorneys needed to translate USPTO responses into short, clear summaries that clients could quickly understand and act on. Drafting these summaries was time-consuming, and the output varied from attorney to attorney with no standard format.
Solution: We developed a tool that analyzes a patent application and its USPTO response simultaneously, drafts a summary of that analysis, and generates a structured, client-ready Word document.
