Allen & Overy has recognised that the legal market needs to embrace technology, not be disrupted by it. To adapt to this change of pace, Fuse (through the appointment of a cohort of visionary experts) is targeting three core areas: • legaltech: utilising technology to support in-house legal functions • regtech: exploring how technology can support regulatory compliance • dealtech: using technology to transform how companies and financial institutions negotiate deals and transact with each other The knowledge we are gaining through Fuse will better equip us to engage with clients in all sorts of situations, where technology can be part of the solution to the challenges they face. Jonathan Brayne – Chairman of Fuse and head of A&O’s Innovation Panel Assisted by A&O, Nivaura completed an industry first. It successfully issued a fully automatic cryptocurrency bond that’s also cleared, settled and registered on a public blockchain infrastructure. As the first company invited to work in Fuse, Nivaura team members are now helping to guide other tech companies working in the space by sharing advice and business experiences, while continuing to develop themselves.
