Why this matters
KPMG Law (UK) is buying the talent to run AI at scale. A directional signal rather than a step change.
James Thomas, who held the title Global Head of Legal Technology at KPMG International and CTO of KPMG Law UK from October 2022, left KPMG in October 2025 to become Chief AI Officer at legal-AI vendor ContractPodAi/Leah — a notable AI-leadership departure from KPMG Law UK to a legal-AI vendor, with no named successor identified for the KPMG Law UK CTO role.
