In late January, Semeris founders Sam Daroczy (CTO), Peter Jasko (CEO), and our head of US sales, Neil McPherson, attended the Legalweek 2024 conference in New York City. Sponsored by LawtechUK and the UK Department of Business and Trade, Semeris stood as a beacon of innovative legaltech emerging from the UK. Our team spent an engaging week exploring the rapidly evolving landscape of technology in the legal sector, networking with other vendors, and gaining insights into the latest trends and developments.
One of the key themes in the panel discussions was the role of Generative AI in various legal use cases. From e-discovery and case management to contract review and practice and document management, the potential of AI to revolutionize the legal profession was evident. Clearly, there is significant interest in leveraging technology to fuel productivity in the legal profession, and legal practitioners want to focus efforts where the most impact can be achieved for the required investment. Semeris Docs, our legal contract review system, stands out in this landscape. Our unique focus on complex capital markets documents empowers users to READ-FIND-COMPARE like never before, demonstrating the transformative power of AI in legaltech.
Looking Ahead: The Future is Bright
As we evolve, expanding our use cases and types of document we support, we will continue to attend conferences spreading the word of how we support the industry using the most up-to-date technology.
Our trip to NYC also included visits to some of our asset management and banking clients. We taped an episode of “KietKatTalkData” on the floor of the NYSE for http://FINTECH.tv (you can watch the episode here), and attended a splendid reception at the residence of the UK Consulate hosted by Lord Dominic Johnson. It was indeed a great week!
