BakerHostetler was named an early-adopter firm (alongside private equity firm Hg) of Intapp's Celeste, a governed 'AI coworker' that automates deal/matter intake, conflicts clearance, business development, and lateral-hire workflows using each firm's proprietary knowledge base. BakerHostetler CIO Katherine Lowry said Celeste is expected to speed up the firm's intake and conflicts-checking process amid a period of significant lateral growth.
"We believe that Celeste can have a very positive impact on our intake and conflicts process. Celeste's cutting-edge AI capabilities will help us responsibly take on matters and evaluate conflicts faster than ever before. — Katherine Lowry, CIO and Head of IncuBaker, BakerHostetler"
