McCarthyFinch was launched as a joint venture between law firm MinterEllisonRuddWatts and tech VC, Goat Ventures, to explore the impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) on the legal industry. The idea of AI lawyers is controversial, and law remains a highly regulated area of practice. AI is going to disrupt the industry, so the role of a lawyer is going to change, and McCarthyFinch is addressing this head on. The organization has introduced the role of Legal Engineer, which helps to bridge the gap between the worlds of law, technology, and design. Talent is a considered a critical factor behind the success of its transformation portfolio and as a result McCarthyFinch has introduced a talent development program and is working with universities, interning students, and other mentoring programs, with the aim of creating the largest legal engineering talent pool in the world in the next two years. The results of its culture of cultivating talent are evident in its success in producing ICT leaders of the future. |
