At Verrill, we are dedicated to leveraging advanced technologies, including generative artificial intelligence (AI), to enhance efficiency, insight, and responsiveness, while maintaining confidentiality and the high level of service and value our clients expect. Currently, firm personnel use approved AI platforms that protect confidential client information and do not train on user inputs, including Harvey, CoCounsel, and Microsoft Copilot.  In a rapidly evolving legal and regulatory environment, we carefully monitor emerging trends and new products.  We take proactive steps to address new challenges, especially those related to privacy and data security, as well as quality and accuracy, supported by experienced attorney oversight.

        In our ongoing commitment to providing value, AI provides an opportunity to streamline administrative tasks, workflow, and project management. We believe responsible use of AI is part of providing competent, modern legal representation, allowing our attorneys to focus more time on strategy, judgment, and client service. Our AI team, made up of experienced attorneys and IT security and legal research professionals, works together to uphold our rigorous standards for client confidentiality and service quality.  To protect the firm and its clients, Verrill has adopted a comprehensive AI Policy, which includes meaningful human review of output, training requirements, client transparency, and limits use to firm-approved models and tools. We are committed to adapting responsibly as the industry evolves, always putting our clients’ interests first.

        “AI will not replace the legal profession—but firms that fail to embrace it responsibly will be left behind. At Verrill, we are adopting AI in ways that enhance value while maintaining our high standards for privacy, quality, and judgment.”

        – Scott Anderson, Verrill Managing Partner

        Helping Clients Navigate AI Risk and Opportunity

        Beyond our internal use of AI, Verrill also advises clients on legal issues that arise from integrating AI into their products, services, and business practices. For example, we assist clients with addressing risks from automated decision‑making, safeguarding intellectual property generated or used by AI systems, and negotiating contracts for AI‑enabled products and services. Our focus is on helping clients understand their obligations, manage uncertainty, and make informed decisions.
