Burges Salmon LLP has announced a firm-wide partnership with legal tech startup Wexler to support its litigation work, following a successful pilot within its dispute resolution team.

The Bristol-headquartered law firm said the rollout builds on Wexler’s “successful integration” in 2024, describing the platform as “a reliable option”. Wexler is a London-based company that handles document-heavy legal tasks and specialises in extracting key facts from complex, unstructured datasets and organising information chronologically. The platform is designed to reduce the time lawyers spend reviewing documentation.

The technology will now be used across all teams at Burges Salmon to assist with identifying gaps in records, and highlighting inconsistencies in evidence and witness testimony.

Burges Salmon’s technology team director, Tom Whittaker, said the firm was “pleased” to extend the partnership and added: “Wexler has become a reliable option for how our teams approach document-heavy work. It allows us to engage with the evidential record more efficiently and focus on the facts that matter earlier in a case.”

The firm is known for advising on major investigations, litigation and public inquiries, including securing a £16 million contract in 2024 to provide legal advice to the Post Office on the Horizon IT inquiry.

Meanwhile, Wexler CEO Gregory Mostyn commented: “Litigation is very specific and nuanced, and you need something that is custom built for those tasks.” Mostyn added that Wexler stands out from other AI platforms as the “best in breed tool” for dealing with “the complexities of dispute resolution”.

The partnership reflects a broader trend of law firms adopting AI tools to streamline workflows. In April, magic circle law firm Freshfields announced a multi‑year collaboration with leading AI company Anthropic to accelerate the development and firm‑wide deployment of AI‑powered legal workflows.

Wexler has also been adopted by several other major law firms, including Addleshaw Goddard, Clifford Chance and Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer LLP. In March 2026, the company expanded its offering to barristers’ chambers, further extending its reach within the legal sector.
