Corporate lawyers should not fear the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), writes Ziad Mantoura, solicitor and senior vice president at alternative legal service provider Epiq, in this week’s NLJ.

Mantoura looks at the respective arcs of these alternative legal service providers, and highlights some of the ground-breaking changes AI can introduce to lawyers’ working lives. He writes: ‘Far from diminishing their role, AI can elevate it.’
