The story
A global agriculture leader with 56,000 employees across 90 countries, managing legal operations in over 30 distinct jurisdictions.
The legal department faced a rapidly growing workload and mounting pressure to cut external spend while battling a fragmented knowledge base. Rising complexity and volume made it difficult to access critical information or handle business requests efficiently.
The organization launched a global pilot with 50 lawyers supported by weekly AI clinics, structured training, and adoption KPIs. An internal Legal AI Scouting Team facilitated expansion by promoting peer-to-peer sharing of best practices. Staff now use the system to draft contracts, summarize board meetings, and conduct regulatory research to minimize external counsel scope.
Scope & timeline
