FORWARD THINKING
We recognise that the legal market needs to embrace technology, not be disrupted by it. To adapt to this change of pace, Fuse is targeting three core areas: • legaltech: using 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.

Fuse is our tech innovation space. As one of the most ground-breaking areas of our business, it brings together our experts and our clients with disruptive tech companies to develop practical solutions to tough legal challenges. We’re creating solutions to some of the most intractable challenges faced by companies, financial institutions and law firms today. We’re proud to have the resources, vision and mindset to build solutions for the future. I regularly visited Fuse throughout my first seat and helped with the development of a document review tool for a large bank. The specialist screens were particularly useful in trialling the product, as well as the support of the IT specialists that work there. It was obvious that a number of the products being developed in Fuse were going to change the way lawyers (and particularly trainees) work.
