A&O Shearman plans to commercialize proprietary AI tools — sell access to other law firms
A&O Shearman LLPBloomberg Law reported that A&O Shearman is planning to commercialize its proprietary AI tools — built primarily for fund formation work — by selling access to other law firms. This represents a deliberate contrast to Kirkland's exclusivity-focused $500M approach. A&O already has a revenue-sharing arrangement with Harvey for agentic AI agents.
