ABOUT US
INNOVATION
Our London office is a hub of innovation within the firm, where our home grown Innovation Taskforce nurtures our culture of intrapreneurship. Formed of people from across the office – they test and implement innovation projects at the firm. We know that innovation is at the forefront of many law firms’ agendas, but what makes Weil different? We give everyone a voice. Whatever their role, whatever their department, we empower all employees to put their hand up and say; “We can do something better.” Everyone is powered to innovate, whether they come from a technology background or not. All of our projects are global in nature, pursued with flexibility and agility, allowing our people to express their creativity and set new precedents in our developing legal market. Where off-the-shelf solutions do not exist, our in-house team of software engineers gives us the capability to build our own. Technology will not replace lawyers, but it will augment us. We focus on creating a hybrid workforce where technology can complement the skills of our lawyers, making sure they are the smartest in the room. We believe that a lawyer with a tool is better than a lawyer on their own, which is why we strive to create technology enhancements that benefit our people, giving them more time to be in the spotlight of the action and apply their expertise where it counts.
