Fenwick builds proprietary secure ChatGPT-style internal AI tool

Significance: High
Confidence: Confirmed

Fenwick chair Richard Dickson confirmed the firm built a secure, disciplined AI environment internally, including its own secure, proprietary ChatGPT-style tool used regularly by lawyers, plus occasional Microsoft Copilot use. An internal AI task force vets every AI tool before implementation, with attorney validation required. AI use is mandatory for all associates as a standard job expectation, not an optional credit-based activity.

"Representing so many AI clients makes us extremely knowledgeable about the space, and so in that context, we've been able to build a secure, disciplined AI environment internally as well. — Richard Dickson, Fenwick Chair. Every associate is just required to use AI as part of their jobs... We don't provide separate credit for it. It is part of your job. — Jennifer Stanley, Executive Committee member, IP partner"
