Wotton Kearney launches game-changing AI solution for Australian legal industry

This article explores why specialist AI tools are becoming as essential as specialist lawyers in high-stakes disputes. Just as you wouldn't ask your property lawyer to run a complex trial, generalist AI tools fall short when litigation demands precision.

Leading national law firm Maddocks today announced the firm-wide deployment of Cicero AI. The decision follows an extensive pilot program that demonstrated significant efficiency gains and enhanced evidence review capabilities across complex litigation matters.

National law firm Holding Redlich has begun a major pilot of Cicero, an AI litigation platform developed by Australian legal-tech company Automatise. The pilot follows a successful trial in selected matters earlier this year and will initially run across key practice groups, including Dispute Resolution & Litigation, Workplace Relations & Safety, and Construction, Infrastructure & Projects. The rollout spans the firm’s Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Canberra offices.
