Technology and innovation

We continually assess and evolve our digital capabilities to enhance how we deliver legal services, support clients, and achieve better outcomes. When used with purpose, technology can reduce costs, increase efficiency and help solve complex challenges.

Our approach is simple: select digital tools, including AI where it delivers genuine value, that can help clients manage risk, control cost and make better, faster decisions.

We are committed to using technology safely, transparently and responsibly, with appropriate governance, oversight and data protection at its core.

We see AI and innovation as redefining the future of legal services. We are actively exploring how AI is poised to transform the legal sector and the reshape the way we work. We are committed to understanding and leveraging its potential to create meaningful value for our clients to reduce costs, increase efficiency and enhance quality.

At Fenwick Elliott, we prioritise the safe and responsible use of AI to ensure that the quality of our work is not compromised. We have robust protocols and policies in place to safeguard data privacy, maintain ethical standards and ensure AI outputs are rigorously reviewed by our lawyers.

As BIM becomes increasingly embedded across the construction industry, it is essential that parties and their advisers understand the digital environment in which they are operating and its impact on traditional contractual roles.

At Fenwick Elliott, we have a strong practical understanding of the BIM process. Successful implementation is not driven by legal nuance alone, but by early collaboration between clients, contractors, consultants and suppliers, supported by a clear and effective BIM Protocol.

We have assisted in drafting Information Protocols for use with ISO 19650 and are currently advising FIDIC on the incorporation of BIM and digital design within the FIDIC standard forms of contract, placing us at the forefront of digital construction practice.
