MDR Lab

How can General Counsels ensure that technology genuinely enhances the way their legal teams operate?   Alex Herrity and Tom Rice joined our third GC Academy cohort for a fireside discussion on driving effective technology transformation in corporate legal teams.   This session formed part of a full day dedicated to AI and legal tech immersion, including an AI‑driven escape room experience designed to help GCs and senior in‑house leaders cut through the noise and understand how to deploy technology strategically within their teams.   Alex and Tom also sat down with Partner and Chief Strategy Officer, Nick West, for a conversation on AI, innovation and the future of legal service delivery as part of our 'Law, What Next?' series.   Mishcon de Reya's GC Academy equips in house legal leaders with the skills required to build the legal function of the future.   Listen to Nick's interview: 🔶 Spotify: https://lnkd.in/efVU2U7z 🔶 Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/evx_DAJF Visit our website to read our summary of the day: https://lnkd.in/e_BBrkWV Dan Sinclair, Mary Bonsor, Ashley Williams, Christian Papworth, Lewis Quinn.

Last night, I had the pleasure of joining Mishcon de Reya LLP Cambridge Tech Showcase during Cambridge Tech Week 🌟 It was fantastic to see so many founders, investors, and innovators come together to discuss how technology is reshaping industries as a whole — and the legal sector in particular. We were especially glad to be invited to support Mishcon at this event — a great example of how they’re using AI in their own work and leading the way in thoughtful adoption of new technology. With Draftwise present, Mishcon could showcase how they are engaging with AI in practical, client-focused ways. For us at Draftwise, this highlights what we value most about our partnership with Mishcon: true collaboration. From our early days in the MDR Lab to today, we’ve been co-innovating to reimagine how transactional lawyers serve their clients in the AI era. Huge thanks to the Mishcon team for hosting such a forward-looking event and for continuing to champion curiosity, experimentation, and collaboration in legal tech. 🚀 Special shoutouts to Kaan A. Georgina Hathway, Kate Higgins, Saba Tavakoli, James Court, Charlie Fletcher, Chris Keen, Chloe Sweden for making the event such a great experience! #LegalTech #AI #Innovation #CambridgeTechWeek #Partnership
