Decarbonization is the world’s most pressing challenge and most dynamic market.
At Orrick, we are not only on the forefront of advising our clients on AI but also its safe and responsible adoption to enhance the quality and efficiency of our services.
AI Adoption @Orrick
Many of our teams are practicing in an AI-adjacent way. AI tools are integrated into our processes for contract and deal document drafting, due diligence, discovery, legal research and writing, and automation. We are experimenting with new use cases daily.
AI-Adjacent Practice
A Culture of Innovation
To guide this transformation, our AI Working Group has published robust policies and delivers a full training curriculum, ensuring compliance with client guidelines and maintaining high standards of quality and security. We have a pipeline of innovative use cases and are working with many of our clients’ in-house teams on their own adoption.
Market change is only accelerating – propelled by power demands from AI, EV charging and next-generation fuels, developing technologies, new market entrants, and evolving policy and regulation. It’s estimated that more than $2 trillion must be deployed globally to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
Orrick deploys commercial solutions to help every kind of player in decarbonization. Our 360-degree view of the market – developed over 20+ years of helping clients execute their decarbonization strategies – helps our clients understand the landscape, make connections, execute deals and manage risk.
For every use case, we consider build vs. buy solutions. Where building makes sense, our Innovation and Digital Transformation teams collaborate with Orrick Labs, our internal skunkworks. Where buying makes sense, we have invested in a suite of best-in-class technologies such as Harvey and DraftWise.
Build vs. Buy
During the summer of 2024, we launched the second version of Orrick.ai, our in-house AI platform. It adds functionality based on feedback and use patterns of hundreds of our team members, with an emphasis on collaboration capabilities such as team prompt sharing and workrooms. To ensure safety, it has closed model/restricted document access.

AI usage is fully integrated into our training, coaching and onboarding curricula for all roles on our team (and team members receive credit for time devoted to learning about and developing AI solutions).
