Hogan Lovells Cadwalader creates an AI Board and signs Harvey and Legora
Inside Practice · OCTOBER 19, 2026 · 1 MIN READ
On October 16, 2026, Hogan Lovells Cadwalader announced a firmwide AI strategy that creates an AI Board, appoints new technology and transformation leadership, establishes a Commercial Unit, and confirms agreements with Harvey and Legora. The AI Board will decide whether opportunities should be built internally or sourced externally, while the Commercial Unit will connect AI deployment with pricing, legal project management and client delivery. For vendors, this formalizes a more demanding enterprise buyer: product selection, resource allocation and commercial impact are being governed together rather than through isolated pilots. Suppliers should expect procurement conversations to require clearer build-versus-buy logic, portfolio interoperability and evidence that usage can translate into client value.
