14 March 2023 | Award-winning UK law firm, Fisher Jones Greenwood (“FJG”), has extended its use of Luminance’s next generation AI across its Corporate and Dispute Resolution practices, as the firm seeks to drive efficiencies into legal work against a backdrop of growing data volumes.

FJG is a future facing law firm, dedicated to embracing new ways of working to enhance their clients’ experience of legal services. For the past five years, FJG has been using Luminance’s machine learning technology to accelerate reviews on executed contracts, ranging from due diligence exercises to the AI-powered analysis of extant documents in eDiscovery and dispute resolution matters.

With Luminance’s AI, FJG has been able to take on high-volume projects previously viewed as unviable due to the amount of time and resource needed. Recently, the firm deployed Luminance to assist with a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) consisting of nearly 80,000 documents. With only one trainee lawyer assigned to the matter, a project of this size would have been impossible to complete in the stipulated time frame under the GDPR. However, Luminance’s powerful data visualisation and filtering tools helped to drastically reduce the size of the dataset, delivering rapid insight and ensuring the review could be completed by just the one trainee lawyer.

Tony Fisher, Chief Executive Officer at Fisher Jones Greenwood said: “Luminance has brought more work to the firm, allowing us to compete for work that would otherwise have been too time-consuming and resource intensive for our team. In this way, Luminance’s AI has helped us to drive profitability in today’s highly competitive market and optimise the services we deliver to our clients.”

Eleanor Lightbody, CEO of Luminance, added: “We are delighted to continue our long-standing partnership with Fisher Jones Greenwood. Luminance is a vital tool for any forward-thinking law firm like FJG looking to accelerate review times and deliver faster response times to clients. This has never been more important in today’s competitive market.”
