Why this matters
Linklaters is buying the talent to run AI at scale. A meaningful marker of where the firm's capability is heading.
Linklaters recruited a first cohort of 20 dedicated 'AI Lawyers' deployed globally across practice groups, undergoing a bespoke bootcamp before supporting prompt/workflow development; led by Sarah Barnard (Director of AI Delivery) and Tom Quoroll, coinciding with disbanding the firm's traditional standalone innovation team in favor of embedding AI expertise within practice groups.
