Thanks to Legal Tech for the heads up on this
The official launch of a free artificial intelligence legal tool promises to revolutionise the way that students, entrepreneurs and businesses access legal services. LISA, the world’s first impartial robot lawyer, allows users to create legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) in less than 7 minutes at absolutely no cost.
By asking questions about the users’ needs, LISA intelligently drafts the document while helping them understand the legal and commercial principles on which it is based.
This means that individuals and businesses are able to use LISA to protect themselves without any prior legal knowledge. LISA is also the first law robot to provide unbiased and objective assistance to both parties, allowing users to avoid having to engage traditional human lawyers on either side.
By taking advantage of cutting edge AI technology, LISA is able to facilitate efficient and global access to legal services. As a result she is already being used by individuals and businesses, ranging from students and educational establishments through to incubators, accelerators, academies, SMEs / SMBs, business associations, professional services firms and blue-chip organisations, across the world in various jurisdictions; for example, throughout various continents such as Europe, North America, South America, Australasia and Scandanavia – England, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Japan, China / Hong Kong, Brazil, Argentina, Singapore, Azerbaijan, Aruba, Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Finland, Norway, Gibraltar, Antigua and Barbuda.
In the near future Robot Lawyer LISA plans to expand the range of legal services available to students, businesses and consumers. LISA is also collaborating with the University of Westminster and Westminster Law School to further its groundbreaking initiatives.
Westminster Law School is one of the leading schools in the UK in the field of technology and the law. Initiatives such as REVRLaw enables students to explore virtual reality crime scenes, while Senior Lecturer in Law Dr Paresh Kathrani is developing a virtual reality game with the Faculty of Science and Technology to enable interactive and experiential legal education.
Dr Kathrani said: “Law School is constantly looking at new and innovative ways to prepare today’s students for tomorrow’s likely jobs and new ventures which will invariably entail an understanding, skill-set, use, development and deployment of AI & Robot technologies. Collaborating with Robot Lawyer LISA is a perfect fit for the university, our students and the next generation of workers in society.”
LISA – your Legal Intelligence Support Assistant – was the vision and brain-child of Chrissie Lightfoot. Born in Darlington and hailing from Yorkshire, UK, Chrissie is one of the world’s top women futurists, an entrepreneur, lawyer, Visiting Fellow at Westminster Law School and advisor to the board of the Telegraph’s Digital Enterprise Network. LISA has been developed in collaboration with practising solicitors, drawing on decades of entrepreneurial, technical, corporate and commercial legal experience.
Chrissie Lightfoot, CEO of Robot Lawyer LISA, said: “Our goal is to make every day basic legal services accessible and affordable to the masses of students, consumers and business people who are unhappy with, or overly reliant on, human lawyers and law firms. Many human lawyers are adversarial by nature, even when dealing with non-contentious matters. LISA’s aim is to negate the double time and double costs involved in relation to this human lawyer behaviour by being completely impartial when assisting the parties on each side.”
