National law firm Maddocks has moved Cicero, the litigation-focused AI platform from Automatise, into firm-wide production after a successful, extended trial across live matters.
“Cicero proved it can accelerate evidence review while preserving the rigour our clients expect. The efficiencies we saw during the pilot, together with the ability to investigate and verify key issues from the documentary evidence, made the case for Maddocks’ wider adoption of the platform.”
During the trial Maddocks’ lawyers worked closely with Automatise’s development team to strengthen reviewer verification and quality-control checkpoints. The collaboration produced tighter audit trails and full traceability of outputs, giving the firm confidence in the platform’s defensibility.
“Adopting Cicero fits squarely within our digital strategy. The platform integrates smoothly with our existing systems, meets strict security and data-residency standards, and now includes reviewer-verification workflows that mirror our internal controls. Automatise’s responsiveness showed they are a genuine innovation partner, helping us deliver greater value to clients through best-of-breed technology.”
“Maddocks brought invaluable insight from complex disputes, challenging us to ensure not just tracability back to sources but to the reviewers tasked with verifying the outputs. That input has signifcantly improved Cicero for all our users, and we are pleased to support the firm as usage scales.”
Embedding Cicero into day-to-day practice underlines Maddocks’ focus on continual innovation. By equipping teams with market-leading technology, the firm aims to deliver faster insights, stronger case preparation, and a more seamless experience for clients.
Deployment of Cicero is currently proceeding across Maddocks' offices nationally, with full implementation expected to be complete by the end of Q3 2025.
