Lawyer, Fremantle
I'm a lawyer at Fremantle Australia, having previously worked at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, PepsiCo, and Hillsong Music. In all my roles, I've always been involved in legal operations and technologies to some degree. Also, who would have thought that learning coding through a video game years ago would lead me to develop legal AI tools that drive efficiency for legal teams? The intersection between law and technology has always fascinated me, and I am constantly looking to learn more about emerging technologies, their implications for privacy, and the future use cases of AI. Possibly a controversial opinion, but I do not think AI will ever replace lawyers - only those who do not know how to use it. Just like how every lawyer now uses a computer, every lawyer will soon use AI.
The Compare tool in Microsoft Word is pretty good... but it could be better. With Compared, you get two innovative tools: Advanced Compare and Precedent Compare. No longer do you need to open five compared documents in Word. Simply use Compared to view multiple versions of a contract, track the history of negotiations, generate a report of historical changes, or review any version in mark-up. And no more spending time creating a tracker for your precedents. Just go to Precedent Compare, upload your past contracts, and download an Excel spreadsheet that is automatically populated for you. You can also upload a new deal and let it analyse the differences between your current draft and previous agreements.
