Applied Intelligence

We bring deep legal and AI expertise to help our clients navigate their most complex legal challenges

Applied Intelligence brings together Linklaters' lawyers with data scientists to provide bespoke AI solutions to help our clients tackle their most complex challenges.

How it works

In complex legal matters, the real challenge lies in uncovering the right insight from vast volumes of data.

Applied Intelligence brings lawyers and data scientists together to do exactly that — building AI around the specific problems our clients are trying to solve.

Clients benefit from the rigour and judgement of senior legal advisers working side by side with experienced data scientists and AI specialists, all under one roof. This means solutions are shaped by real legal and commercial context.

We use advanced analytics to surface the most relevant insights from complex datasets, applying legal and commercial judgement to support better decision‑making.

Why Applied Intelligence

Clients typically engage Applied Intelligence where traditional legal approaches are pushed to their limits by:

Large volumes of complex or fragmented data
Where the scale or structure of the information makes it hard to see what really matters.
Critical decision-making under time pressure
Where clients need reliable insight from complex data fast to support critical regulatory, litigation or transaction decisions.
Regulatory, litigation or transaction risk that demands speed and precision
Where accuracy matters, but time is limited.
The need for consistent insight across large or dispersed datasets
Where decisions depend on seeing patterns and issues across many documents or jurisdictions.

What we do

Applied Intelligence supports clients by:

Understanding where policies fall short across borders Comparing the rules that apply in different countries with a client’s existing policies — and quickly showing where the gaps are.
Working out which claims matter
Sifting through thousands, or even millions, of claim forms to identify the ones that are strongest and most relevant.
Stress testing an acquisition or sale
Rapidly reviewing the legal position of a business or asset to help clients decide whether to proceed with a transaction.
Developing agentic covenant surveillance across complex portfolios
Using agentic systems for ongoing monitoring and reporting against complex covenant packages — and to review large volumes of contracts to proactively identify potential breaches.
Drafting high-quality disclosure
Generating draft risk factors grounded in market precedents and the issuer’s specific circumstances

Applied Intelligence is led by partner Tom Quoroll and AI delivery director Sarah Barnard, working alongside a world-class data science team headed up by Salim Feghali.
