Clifford Chance launches AI Knowledge Bank — 400,000+ documents, built with Microsoft and Epiq Advisory
Clifford Chance launched its AI Knowledge Bank, a new knowledge management platform developed over six months in partnership with Epiq Advisory for Law Firms and Microsoft. The repository holds more than 400,000 reclassified and AI-summarised firm documents, built entirely within Microsoft 365 and Azure (SharePoint, Power Platform, Graph API, Azure AI Studio), and features permissioned natural language search with metadata-driven access controls to protect client confidentiality. The platform gives the firm control over its own KM roadmap rather than relying on third-party software, and is designed to feed trusted internal knowledge into generative AI tools.

Clifford Chance cuts ~10% of London business services staff — first Magic Circle firm to make explicit AI-driven redundancies
Clifford Chance announced approximately 50 redundancies and changes to up to 35 further roles in its London business services functions (finance, HR, IT), citing increased adoption of AI tools including Clifford Chance Assist and Microsoft Copilot, alongside a shift of work to its hubs in India and Poland. Around 550 employees were informed. Changes took effect from January 2026. The firm's revenue was £2.4bn for FY2025 — a 9% increase — making this an efficiency-driven restructuring rather than a financial necessity. First Magic Circle firm to make explicit AI-driven redundancies at this scale.
