Why this matters
Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld has moved past pilots into deployment. This is a high-significance signal for buyers benchmarking their panel.
Following a 100-lawyer pilot beginning January 2025, Akin began a firmwide rollout of NetDocuments' ndMAX (a generative AI suite including natural-language search across the firm's document management system) in early February 2026. By March 2026 the deployment scaled to 900+ lawyers interacting with 65+ million documents, including AI auto-profiling across 40+ metadata fields for docketing files. Project cost was in the 'high six figures.'
""We see it in that sort of pyramid, where Microsoft Copilot is our general productivity layer, then NetDocs as the next stack up." — Jeff Westcott, Director of Innovation and AI, Akin Gump"
