Wolters Kluwer Enhances Legal Research with GenAI Summary Integration

Published December 7, 2023

In a significant development, Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory has introduced generative artificial intelligence to its suite of legal research tools. By integrating Generative Pre-training Transformer (GPT)-based summaries into their products, Wolters Kluwer aims to revolutionize the process by which legal professionals review and understand court rulings.

Optimized Legal Research Efficiency

The integration of GPT enables users to quickly grasp the essence of court decisions without delving into the exhaustive details of each case. Starting with its online research platform in Germany, Wolters Kluwer will progressively roll out this feature across other product offerings, potentially transforming legal practice efficiency.

Martin O’Malley, CEO of Wolters Kluwer Legal & Regulatory, emphasized the company’s commitment to combining industry expertise, high-quality editorial standards, and cutting-edge GenAI technology. He expressed that these advancements will maintain legal professionals at the vanguard of their field.

Innovation in the Legal Arena

Incorporating GPT-generated summaries provides users with a comprehensive yet concise understanding of thousands of court cases. The summaries deliver in-depth insight into the background and facts of cases, allowing practitioners to categorize relevancy and substantially reduce the bulk of documents needing in-depth scrutiny.

Wolters Kluwer's recent 'Future Ready Lawyer 2023' report indicates an industry trend towards the adoption of GenAI and AI-powered technologies in legal work. With this move, Wolters Kluwer places itself at the helm of this legal tech wave, ensuring that their customers are equipped to enhance their workflows and achieve better outcomes effectively.

Upholding Data Protection and AI Ethics

Keeping in line with data integrity and security is paramount in legal spheres. As such, the GPT summarization feature utilizes internal Wolters Kluwer data to uphold rigorous standards of data protection without relying on external data sources. This initiative underlines the company's dedication to maintaining robust data protection protocols and ethical principles in AI applications.

Wolters Kluwer, a global leader providing professional information, software, and services, helps professionals from various industries make informed decisions by offering specialized technology and services that integrate in-depth domain knowledge.
