Our own use of AI

AI also opens up opportunities to rethink how legal advice is delivered and create greater value for our clients. Together with clients, we co-create innovative services and ways of working that combine our legal expertise with the potential of AI. 

The Plesner AI principles and ongoing AI literacy training guide how we put this approach into practice. They encourage our people to use AI actively, question and verify its outputs, and remain alert to bias and other limitations. This helps us create value for clients while ensuring that critical thinking, legal judgement and responsibility for our work remain with our people. 

Our engagement with AI also extends to academic research. Plesner partner Niels Chr. Ellegaard is pursuing a PhD at the University of Copenhagen on AI in legal decision-making. His research examines the possibilities and limits of AI in decisions made by courts and arbitration tribunals, including how to ensure meaningful human oversight, feeding directly into the thinking behind the Plesner AI implementation.
