Bloomberg Law reported Pillsbury uses ChatGPT, Harvey, CoCounsel, Microsoft Copilot, Definely, and ClearBrief across practice groups. Chair David Dekker said the firm will not pursue a capital-intensive single-platform strategy, contrasting reports of Kirkland & Ellis's roughly $500M AI investment.
"The goal is to ensure AI permeates throughout our firm. Clients aren't just asking whether their law firm uses AI well—they're asking us to help them navigate it. — David Dekker"
