Kingsley Napley unveils development of new AI tool

Reading time: one minute

Kingsley Napley LLP has announced its collaboration with legal tech startup Let’s Think to create a knowledge amplification tool, The Knowledge Exchange. According to the firm, the tool is the first behavioural science AI based knowledge amplification tool within the legal industry.

The two organisations began working together in 2024. Six solicitors worked with Let’s think scientists, sharing information and knowledge to be ordered and stored in a central database software. The product will be refined and tested by a wider range of lawyers and launched to the wider firm later this year.

One of the tool’s core aims is improving knowledge sharing between senior and junior lawyers by being a “continuous legal brain”. The firm hopes that senior lawyers can use the tool to share their expertise, which will make knowledge more accessible and allow the firm to retain information even after lawyers leave the firm.

Director of innovation and knowledge at Kingsley Napley, Sarah Harris, commented:

“We asked: What is it about our lawyers that our clients find value in? With a firm like Kingsley Napley, it’s the fact that their lawyer has a great deal of lived experience of dealing with similar disputes or situations and can therefore help clients practically navigate their matter.  Our aim is to leverage and democratise that intellectual capital within our business, to amplify and fast-track the value to our own people and therefore our clients”.

CEO and co-founder at Let’s Think, Wendy Jephsen, also added: “How to retain and monetise their intellectual capital has long been a conundrum for law firm leaders and we believe we can now help to meet that challenge. The Knowledge Exchange is the easiest way for firms to capitalise thinking.”
