ContractPodAi (CP) has announced a strategic alliance with KPMG, one of the Big Four firms. This partnership will see KPMG utilizing CP’s genAI platform for lawyers, called Leah, to enhance its managed legal services capability. KPMG has also hired Andy Giverin, previously from PwC’s NewLaw team, to lead this offering. The plan is to serve clients in the US, UK, Germany, and other key global markets with this capability. This move follows CP’s recent alliances with other Alternative Legal Service Providers (ALSPs). KPMG plans to use Leah’s advanced technology to optimize legal operations, improve data accuracy, and expedite high-volume tasks. Giverin has been appointed as the Global Leader of Managed Legal Services, while Jeff Catanzaro has been named as the US Leader. Both have extensive experience in serving in-house legal teams. Sarvarth Misra, CEO of ContractPodAi, expressed excitement about KPMG’s vision for the future of managed legal services delivery. He believes that this partnership will revolutionize the industry. Giverin added that their strategy focuses on developing LegalTech solutions that enhance lawyer capabilities rather than replacing them. By combining highly automated contracting with human oversight, they aim to provide clients with a managed service that streamlines contract review and reduces administrative burdens. Catanzaro concluded by stating that their alliance with ContractPodAi will provide them with a robust technology foundation to manage complex contracts more efficiently. This will allow their clients to operate with greater agility and focus on strategic growth. This partnership is significant for both KPMG and CP. It marks KPMG’s strong push into the managed services and NewLaw space, while also providing CP with a new source of revenue. The use of CP’s Leah platform will give KPMG an edge in the competitive CLM market. Overall, this partnership is a significant development in the legal industry and is expected to bring measurable value to clients.
