Why this matters

Clifford Chance has made a tracked AI move, with Microsoft in the stack. This is a high-significance signal for buyers benchmarking their panel.

Clifford Chance launched its AI Knowledge Bank, a new knowledge management platform developed over six months in partnership with Epiq Advisory for Law Firms and Microsoft. The repository holds more than 400,000 reclassified and AI-summarised firm documents, built entirely within Microsoft 365 and Azure (SharePoint, Power Platform, Graph API, Azure AI Studio), and features permissioned natural language search with metadata-driven access controls to protect client confidentiality. The platform gives the firm control over its own KM roadmap rather than relying on third-party software, and is designed to feed trusted internal knowledge into generative AI tools.

""The creation of our new Knowledge Bank is central to our strategy of delivering value to our clients. Our work with Epiq Advisory for Law Firms and Microsoft allows us to curate decades of firm knowledge in a repository that enables the deployment of AI while respecting client confidentiality." — Matt Taylor, Partner, Global Head of Knowledge & Training, Clifford Chance"
