The Woodstock team, with a new colleagueAn Artificial Intelligence business backed by Google has purchased a high street law firm in a first for the UK. While AI law firms have begun to emerge in the market, and many firms already use AI for support, the purchase announced this week marks the first time an AI business has acquired a traditional law firm in the UK. It has now used some of that cash to buy Woodstock Legal Services, a firm founded in 2014 and headquartered in Poole. Part of the appeal for the AI business seems to be Woodstock's expertise in property law (the firm also advises on areas including family law, employment and private client). Carly Jermyn, CEO and founder of Woodstock Legal Services echoed the position that the firm's "people-first culture remains central" and that "All roles are secure."
